Republicans in Space? Which one was that? I missed Europa Report, if that’s the one you’re referring too.
I saw it. I won’t say much about it except that I enjoyed it and it was a lot of fun to see a movie with a shuttle and the ISS (for starters) in a disaster/survival film. For me, it seemed to be a fictionalized summary of several real-life events that have occurred in since the 60’s.
I’m reminded of the astronaut, several years ago, that lost a very expensive tool kit in space because the astronaut forgot to secure it before letting go of it.
I’m going to have to make an effort to enlarge my collection of hard-sci-fi films. There was one movie I saw as a kid about an American stranded on the moon. At one point he finds a dead cosmonaut. At the end, he finds an empty return ship that he can use, IIRC. Anyone remember that one?
It was the one with Matt Damon about a future where the wealthy had moved to a space station leaving the poor to live miserable lives on Earth. It was billed as non-political but was in fact overtly, boneheadedly political. I’m blanking again on the actual title.
