# Top Ten Technical Errors/Anachronisms in the Movie "Apollo 13"

Compiled by a bunch of genuine NASA dweebs who actually noticed these things.

Not dweebs. NASA space buffs.

* The NASA "worm" logo appears on a glass door.
The logo was not developed until 1976.

* One engineer checks an astronaut's addition using a slide rule.
Slide rules are not used for addition.

* Jim Lovell's license plate is new.

* The astronauts point out the Sea of Tranquility while on the dark side of the moon.
It is on the other side.

Wrong. The Sea of Tranquility can also be on the dark side of the moon. Perhaps they pointed it out on the far side of the moon

* A technician at the cape is wearing a Rockwell International logo on his coveralls.
The Apollo capsule was built by North American, which did not become Rockwell International until after the Apollo program.

Wrong. During the moon flights the company was known as North American Rockwell. It later changed it's name to Rockwell International prior to the ASTP flight in 1975.

* The gantry arms for the Saturn V are released in unison, not one at a time.

* During entry, the spacecraft is shown hurling directly at the earth. At that angle, it would punch a brief but fiery hole through the atmosphere.
It should be aiming towards the horizon.

* The paint pattern on the Saturn V is for the test configuration, not the launch configuration.

Specifically, there was a block type roll pattern on the S-IVB stage in the movie. Flight stages had a solid black band. The S1C stage showed a roll pattern on the intertank. Filght models had the intertank painted white.

The movie Saturn V had the paint pattern of the facilities mockup Saturn that was used in 1967.

* The astronauts look at their intended landing site while on the dark side of the moon.

Again, this should say the "far" side of the Moon

It is a good thing they didn't land - no communications with Earth, it's dark and very cold.

It can get dark and cold on the near side, too

AND THE NUMBER ONE TECHNICAL ERROR/ANACHRONISM in APOLLO 13 is:

* In space, from outside the capsule, propulsion jets do not make any noise.

Sound does not transmit in a vacuum. But you could hear them inside the spacecraft, which was pressurized at 5 p.s.i.
