Space is in our thoughts, in our dreams, beneath the blue suburban skies.

Tim showed Emily "Apollo 13" tonight. Apparently, it starts with the fire on Apollo 1. I need to see it. Emily doesn't "get" the fire.

Emily now has a plan that if there is a problem on her shuttle, she'll just take her Soyuz to the moon. She's going to pick up moon rocks for her kids and husband, but for her parents, she'll only have dust to give us. She also was incorporating the situation on Apollo 13 into her imaginary play. She has decided that a fire must be put out with magic, since water would damage the controls.

I really wish that they hadn't put in the part about Apollo 1. If you understand cinematic conventions, it's obvious that they are trying to say that people died in the fire.
