Apollo 13
I was watching Apollo 13 tonight. During the part where Apollo 13 is orbiting the moon it shows Jim Lovell (played by Tom Hanks) thinking of landing on the moon (of course that mission never made it to the moon was he was daydreaming they did). They show him taking the ladder down the lunar module and they briefly show him in his space suit in its entirety. I noticed there was an anchor on the helmet above where the clear part (used for vision) of the helmet is. Can anyone confirm that there really were anchors on the space suit helmets in the late 60s? I can only assume its there for the hope as opposed to symbolize the navy?! LOL Am I right?
ps. That movie is such a tear-jerker. And they say miracles don't happen...
