...Harris as flight director Gene Kranz and Gary Sinise as Ken Mattingly, who was scrubbed from the mission two days before launch, the grunts of Mission Control are efficient and almost faceless, a Greek chorus busily computing solutions. The astronauts' wives, notably Marilyn Lovell (lustrous Kathleen Quinlan), cope sensibly with despair. Lovell's partners in jeopardy (Bill Paxton as Haise, Kevin Bacon as Swigert) keep things cool, especially when they nearly freeze in their icy cabin. And Hanks provides the anchor. His Lovell--as strong, faithful and emotionally straightforward as Forrest Gump--carries the story like a precious oxygen backpack...
...myself, 'What did he do in World War II?' If he knew I was a Jew, what would he do now?" Convinced that Jews cannot live normal lives in Germany, Karmeli has decided to emigrate to Israel.

Judy Goldsmith, president of the pro-choice National Organization for Women, expressed concern that "the President could send us back to the time when women risked their lives to be able to determine what happened with their bodies...
...difficulties caused a little soul-searching among NASA officials. Skylab Program Director William C. Schneider, for one, vigorously rejected the idea that the problems might have been caused by sloppy manufacturing or lax quality control resulting from NASA's recent economies. Chief Flight Controller Eugene Kranz agreed, but then added: "We'll never know until we get the darn things down and look at them." There was one performance that no one could fault: a spider named Arabella, on board Skylab for a biological experiment, accommodated to space flight within only a day or two, learning to spin...
