Apollo 13 (阿波羅13)


英文簡介 中文簡介
每次轉到電影台看到這部電影時,都已經是最後,三人安全回到地球了...
今天轉到,總算有幸從中後段開始看起...

想不到是一部這麼好看的電影...

取材真實事件的......災難片 (?)

一路上狀況不斷,NASA 的工程師們就是能一個個解決...
就很真實,遇到一個問題就連夜模擬測試,不然就是靠著太空艙會有的工具臨時想出應變措施...
沒什麼華麗或被虎爛的感覺...

真的,第一次覺得,工程師們真是他媽的帥,
一點也不宅,帥到爆表,感覺背後還會散發迷人光彩那樣...

What a Successful Failure !!!

當然,最好是一開始就把事情做好,不要發生一堆有的沒的狀況...
但狀況真的發生了,有毅力、有魄力去解決、去力挽頹勢,
那又是另一種帥氣了!!!

要做的是從來沒人做過的新嘗試,
需要的就不只是縝密的規劃,更需要臨危不亂的冷靜隨機應變,
光是漂亮的計畫還不夠,還要有更多臨場反應的能力...
畢竟,意外就是意料之外,一定不會在預期計畫中,
如果是沒有記錄可循的創舉、面對未知,一定要做好遇上意外的準備......

看到最後,真的被帥氣的工程師們感動得落淚了,
真的真的,太帥了!!!

片中那位 Gene Kranz 真的是超有魄力的......

We've never lost an American in space, we're sure as hell not gonna lose one on my watch!
Failure is not an option.

I don't care about what anything was DESIGNED to do,
I care about what it CAN do.

NASA Director: This could be the worst disaster NASA's ever faced.
Gene Kranz: With all due respect, sir, I believe this is gonna be our finest hour.

剛無聊查了一下,該次事件的工程師們在 35 年後,獲得一份集體榮譽獎
GlobalSpec Awards First Great Moments in Engineering Award To Apollo 13 Engineers

其他有印象的 quotes:
All right, we're not doing this, gentlemen.
We are NOT going to do this.
We're not going to go bouncing off the walls for ten minutes,
'cause we're just going to end up back here with the same problems!
Try to figure out how to stay alive!

Don't you worry. If they could get a washing machine to fly, my Jimmy could land it.

No, Henry!
Those people don't put one piece of equipment on my lawn.
If they have a problem with that, they can take it up with my husband.
He'll be HOME... on FRIDAY!
