Seriously, I'm in the wrong job. I've spent much of the last year putting
together a mission to Mars game for our school. You can select individual crew
members. For example, one is from the Kashmir region of India, one of her
languages is a local dialect and her name is a traditional Kashmiri name, all
carefully researched.
If I'm capable of this level of attention to detail then how are the makers of
"Impact" capable of getting something on the air that includes a fallen lunar
meteorite crater that is so magnetic it disrupts a compass from a distance? I
mean, if that's supposed to show some sort of research into meteorites it pays
lipservice only. I want to go round and bite their ankles.
And don't get me started on the meteors burning all the way to the ground or
shooting down meteor fragments with F-15 fighters. ARRRGGGHHHHH!!!!!
At least Space 1999, had a the excuse of naievety to much of it.
Anyone remember the scene in 3rd Rock From the Sun where they were laughing at
Star Wars' depiction of space? "Impact" would have them in apoplexy.
