Wasn't this a play before it was a movie? What was the line in the play? The written line seems so weak-ass compared to the improvised one that I wonder if that written line is only from the movie script or if it's actually in the play.

That’s not really trimming, it completely changes the meaning

Probably a similar storry with making ackee edible in Jamaica (not ripe is somewhat poisonus). If you have a whole lot of something you start wondering how it can be used or changed to be useable, and people start experimenting.

Delicious! I grew up eating this since my grandpa was a farmer. It’s juicy and sweet. There’s even an alcoholic drink made from the cashew apple.

If you listen to the recordings from the mission it’s remarkable how calm and collected the astronauts were. I know it’s hard to overemphasize how much training they go through but still, I can’t imagine being understated while flying through space in a metal can that’s falling apart.

Yeah that was weird- great scene but didn't they just spend like 20 minutes establishing that Sally has a huge stick up her ass at that point in life?

It’s kind of like “Failure is not an option.” From Apollo 13. It’s possibly the most famous line from the movie, yet Gene Kranz never said it. Didn’t stop him from using it as the title of his autobiography, though.
(The other famous line, “Houston, we have a problem.” was also never said in real life. Jim Lovell actually said, “Houston, we’ve had a problem.” or something very similar.)

Look at the comments here. No one gives a shit.
Sure, this happened decades ago. The point is that we're still failing people like this. Worse now, than ever before, it seems.
We're gonna wipe ourselves out, and blame each other for it, until the very last human is gone.
