I think Klaatu and Gort actually landed at DuPont Circle ;-)

I’m surprised Obama didn’t put a Soyuz Capsule on the White House Lawn after he cancelled the Space Shuttle.

In the remake I thought Keanu Reeves made a great Gort.
In fact, he has played that pat his entire movie career.

Sorry, I was wrong. Dupont Circle was the location of Dr. Barnhardt’s house. Klaatu landed near the Ellipse.

He was waiting for the first space device from a muslim country. Too dumb to realize that would happen never.

“Im surprised Obama didnt put a Soyuz Capsule on the White House Lawn after he cancelled the Space Shuttle.”
The Fraud hadn’t yet had his promised flexibility after the 2012 election yet.
To: BenLurkin
They expect people to actually survive on that tiny capsule on a trip to Mars?! Does anyone at NASA actually have a brain? You need a much larger ship, adequate crew space, adequate food for the very extended voyage, emergency air supplies, emergency repair parts, etc, etc. This isn’t a 2 week moon voyage, guys.

A replica Sputnik wouldn’t have surprised me either.

He didn’t cancel the shuttle. The shuttle had hit multiples of its expected useful life. He was the 5th president in a row to not bother to greenlight the replacement, but he didn’t kill it.

Good riddance to the space shuttle. Wasteful program that accomplished little outside what ordinary unmanned space flight could accomplish, plus 14 dead.
To: discostu
My mistake. Thanks for the information.
That’s why I like FR, facts ultimately guide the conversation.

He wasn’t Gort.
Gort was the Robot.
The remake sucked BTW.
Trivia. In the original Movie, the Director was asked how the guy got in and out of the Robot Suit since there were no obvious openings.
He replied that there two Robot Suits. One with a zipper in the front and another with a zipper in the back.

The original design and intent met the reality of Government and many people paid the price.
