Goofs

Even if the kid survived to the point of liftoff, he would have been dead upon entry into Earth Orbit. Apollo used a low pressure, pure oxygen atmosphere to save weight, and cabin pressure dropped from 16.7 psi to 5.8 psi in less than 2 minutes after launch. To avoid getting the bends, the astronauts had to breathe pure oxygen for about 3 hours prior to launch. This is why they walked to the spacecraft already sealed in their spacesuits. To reduce flammability, the cabin was pressurized with a 60/40 mixture of oxygen and nitrogen, which would not have adequately prepared the kid for the pressure drop. See more »

A low budget TV Movie that entertains and teaches....
5 June 2000 | by (Jacksonville, Florida) – See all my reviews

Lloyd Bridges and John Carradine are the only big name actors in this TV movie, but the remainder of the cast do fairly well. This is a film about a NASA Moon mission, with a boy who stows away in the trash compartment. While moderately simplistic, it does a good job of showing what an actual mission was all about. Michael Link stars as the title character. Do not expect massive FX, tho there is some good footage from the Apollo missions. Astronaut Charles Conrad provides some nice insight as a news reporter. Shown on Fox Movie Channel on June 5th... it might be repeated. 7.
