Jim Lovell was the captain that Jim Lovell shakes hand with at the end.

Totally fascinating to go through and hear the real thing after watching this film.

2023-12-14 08:03:23 +0000 UTCAbout all I can say is, they made up very little and the left out some of the drama. Even the tax return thing is in the original transcripts, except it's during a conversation between CAPCOM and the crew where they were getting the news and Swigert really did bring up that fact. Then Lovell asked "Is it true that Jack's tax return was supposed to pay for the ascent stage fuel for the lunar module?" And they actually did zero gravity by building the set into an aircraft doing dives to simulate zero gravity, no more than 29 seconds at a time. NASA has a few of these aircraft and they're called the Vomit Comet. They logged more time in that plane than any astronaut. (Some shots WERE faked though.)
