    Storyline

    • Trivia

    • Goofs
      In the swimming pool scene, once Lucy was upright and out of the pool the water in her helmet should be coming out as quickly as it leaked in.

      Not so. Underwater there is pressure forcing water in and air out. Out of the water, the lost air has creating negative pressure, a vacuum, holding the water inside her helmet until they cracked the seal to let air in.
    • Quotes
      • Will Plimpton: You know Michael Collins?
      • Lucy Cola: Yeah, yeah. Of course. Apollo 11. He flew the command module for Neil and Buzz.
      • Will Plimpton: Yeah. So you know after he dropped them he circled the moon for hours. It's farther from Earth than any man has ever been. No light, no radio. And he wept, consumed by darkness and then, when he saw the sun again he wept some more. Inside the module he wrote, "I am now truly alone and absolutely alone from any known life. I am it."
