James Webb: Surely the President realizes that the moment a man steps foot on the moon will be a definitive one in the history of the world.
Frank Borman: Hey Neil, think John Glenn will be satisfied with just President?
Neil Armstrong: Glenn for President, huh? Well, that'd depend. Who'd be running for King?

He started to open the packages because he would have died otherwise. Criminal intent against me, an active duty U.S. Navy Admiral, and prospective U.S. Navy Fleet Admiral, by those perpetrators I have named, has been clearly established and all those involved, directly or indirectly, in the criminal conspiracy to hijack my true identity are subject to the same penalties.
I am following strict orders and I have a dangerous occupation.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cast_away
Cast Away is a 2000 film by 20th Century Fox and DreamWorks about a FedEx employee who is stranded on an uninhabited island after his plane goes down over the South Pacific. It is unusual in Hollywood cinema in that during most of the movie there is only one human character.
After many days, perhaps weeks, have passed, Chuck begins to open the packages. He finds videocassettes, divorce papers, ice skates, a dress, and a volleyball. With this random assortment of items, Chuck begins to improvise tools. One item which he uses in many different ways is the pair of ice-skates which he uses as a tree-cutter to craft spears. Chuck uses the dress as a net to fish with. And the papers and cardboard become bed liners.
One of the FedEx packages bears the distinctive angels' wings custom logo observed in the first scene. It is the package the artist mentioned she would be sending on the following Thursday. For some reason, this is the only package Chuck does not open. One can surmise that not opening this package, again is an attempt to connect with his "pre-castaway" life; seeing that package is a connection to his profession, to events just prior to the fateful trip which landed him in this lonely situation.

Deep Impact (1998)
U.S. Box Office: $140,424,703
MSNBC reporter Jenny Lerner, while investigating a high-level scandal in Washington, stumbles upon the story that a comet is on a collision course with Earth. A year earlier, amateur teenage astronomer Leo Biederman discovered a new comet that is the one now certified to hit within the year. US President Beck announces to the world that a spaceship called the Messiah will blast off in two months to plant nuclear bombs in the comet in hope of blowing it to bits. This plan fails, splitting the comet into two sections. The smaller will hit off the east coast creating a tital wave that will destroy New York and Washinton while the larger portion will land in Canada causing an ELE, or Extinction Level Event, complete with Earth-enshrouding clouds of dust that will wipe out all life. Declaring martial law, President Beck reveals that a network of caves is being built to accommodate 1 million Americans, most to be chosen by a national lottery.

Memorable quotes for
Superman Returns (2006)
Lex Luthor: Do you know the story of Prometheus? No, of course you don't. Prometheus was a god who stole the power of fire from the other gods and gave control of it to the mortals. In essence, he gave us technology, he gave us power.
Kitty Kowalski: So we're stealing fire? In the Arctic?
Lex Luthor: Actually, sort of. You see whoever controls technology controls the world. The Roman empire ruled the world because they built roads. The British empire ruled the world because they built ships. America; the atom bomb. And so on and so forth. I just want what Prometheus wanted.
Kitty Kowalski: Sounds great Lex, but you're not a god.
Lex Luthor: [fixes Kitty with an icy stare] Gods are selfish beings who fly around in little red capes and don't share their power with mankind. No, I don't want to be a *god*. I just want to bring fire to the people. And... I want my cut.

Anticipating the convergence of computers and television, Microsoft Corp. and NBC today turned on the MSNBC cable channel and its companion Internet information site - entering the soon-to-be-crowded 24-hour news business.
The TV channel, whose slogan is "you're connected," signed on at 6 a.m. Pacific time, replacing NBC-owned America's Talking as a programming option in about 22.5 million cable households.
MSNBC Interactive on the World Wide Web (http://www.msnbc.com) replaced Microsoft's MSN News.

GUIDED MISSILE DESTROYER
Launch Date: 11/20/1999
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Howard_%28DDG-83%29
USS Howard (DDG-83) is an Arleigh Burke-class destroyer in the United States Navy. The ship is named in honor of Gunnery Sgt. Jimmie E. Howard, USMC, (1929-1993), recipient of the Medal of Honor for his leadership of a platoon against repeated attacks by a battalion-sized Viet Cong force. After receiving severe wounds from an enemy grenade, he distributed ammunition to his men and directed air strikes on the enemy. By dawn, his beleaguered platoon still held their position. Howard also received the Silver Star Medal for service in Korea.

Jimmie Earl Howard (1929-1993) was a Marine Corps Staff Sergeant when he led an eighteen-man reconnaissance patrol in a fierce battle against a battalion of Viet Cong in June 1966. As a result of his heroic actions, Howard become the sixth U.S. Marine to be awarded the Nation’s highest honor for heroism in combat in Vietnam. The Medal of Honor was presented by President Lyndon B. Johnson in White House ceremonies on 21 August 1967.

Hamburger Hill (1987)
Release Date: 28 August 1987 (USA)
Tagline: War at its worst. Men at their Best.
Plot Outline: A very realistic interpretation of one of the bloodiest battles of the Vietnam War.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Hamburger_Hill
The Battle of Hamburger Hill was a battle of the Vietnam War which was fought between the United States and the Democratic Republic of Vietnam from May 10 - May 20, 1969. Although of little strategic value, US command ordered assaults to clear the area around AP Bia, which led to pitched battles on the heavily fortified Hill 937. As the battle was primarily carried out by infantry using small arms fire, the fighting was akin to WWI trench warfare with the US Airborne troops moving up the highly sloped hill against experienced and well equipped entrenched troops. Attacks were repeatedly repelled by weather, friendly fire, accidents, and especially the highly effective PAVN defenses. Nevertheless the Airborne troops took the hill through direct assault, causing extensive casualties to the PAVN forces, and taking such in their own units. The backlash due to the high casualties over a strategically unimportant point led to dramatic changes in the conduct of the war, and Hamburger Hill would be the last major US ground assault of the war.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flight_controller#Capsule_Communicator_.28CAPCOM.29
Capsule Communicator (CAPCOM)
Generally the only person who communicates directly with a manned space crew. During much of the U.S. manned space program, NASA felt it was important for all communication with the astronauts in space to pass through a single individual in the Mission Control Center. That role was designated the Capsule Communicator or CAPCOM and was filled by another astronaut, often one of the backup crew members. It is believed that an astronaut is most able to understand the situation in the spacecraft and pass information in the clearest and most efficient way.
For long duration missions, there are more than one CAPCOM, each assigned to a different shift team. After control of U.S. spaceflights moved to the Lyndon B. Johnson Space Center in the early 1960s, each CAPCOM uses the radio call sign Houston. When non-astronauts are communicating directly with the spacecraft, CAPCOM acts as the communications controller. CAPCOMs have sometimes been jokingly addressed as Uhura, a reference to the communications expert in the TV show Star Trek.
Today, non-astronauts from the Space Flight Training branch also function as CAPCOM during ISS missions, while the role is filled solely by astronauts for shuttle missions.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apollo_17
Launch: December 7, 1972
Lunar landing: December 11, 1972
Lunar surface time: 3d/02:59:40
Time in lunar orbit: 6d/03:43:37
Landing: December 19, 1972
Apollo 17 was the eleventh manned space mission in the NASA Apollo program. It was the first night launch and the sixth and final lunar landing mission of the Apollo program. As of 2008, it remains the most recent manned Moon landing (the next planned human lunar landing – Orion 15 – will probably also be by NASA, and is planned for 2019, but no later than 2020; however, there is a small chance that another country, such as China, may undertake an earlier human lunar landing).
Depiction in fiction
Portions of the Apollo 17 mission are dramatized in the miniseries From the Earth to the Moon episode entitled "Le Voyage dans la Lune".
Additionally, there have been fictional astronauts in film, literature and television who have been described as "the last man to walk on the moon," implying they were crew members on Apollo 17. One such character was Steve Austin in the television series The Six Million Dollar Man; in a latter episode of the series, Austin's character was asked what space mission he flew on, and he answered, "Apollo 17" (the series first appeared on television in 1973 as a made-for-TV movie, however the novel upon which it was based — Cyborg — was published before the mission and does not make such a reference). Another example is the character of Captain Tanner in the science fiction film Deep Impact.
The mission patch for Apollo 17 was used for the mission patch for the NASA space ship Charybdis in an episode of "Star Trek: The Next Generation" entitled "The Royale".

Alan Bartlett Shepard, Jr. (November 18, 1923 – July 21, 1998) (Rear Admiral, USN, Ret.) was the second person and the first American in space. He later commanded the Apollo 14 mission, and was the fifth person to walk on the moon.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apollo_14
Launch: January 31, 1971
Lunar landing: February 5, 1971
Landing: February 9, 1971
Apollo 14 was the eighth manned mission in the Apollo program and the third mission to land on the Moon.
Shepard's moonwalking suit was the first to incorporate red bands on the arms and legs and a red stripe on the top of the lunar EVA sunshade "hood", so as to allow easy identification of the commander while on the surface; on the Apollo 12 pictures, it had been almost impossible to distinguish between the two crewmen, causing a great deal of confusion.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donn_Eisele
Donn Fulton Eisele (June 23, 1930 – December 2, 1987), born in Columbus, Ohio, was a test pilot in the USAF and a NASA astronaut.
On October 11, 1968, he occupied the command module pilot seat for the eleven-day flight of Apollo VII — the first manned flight test of the third generation United States spacecraft. With spacecraft commander Walter M. Schirra, Jr. and lunar module pilot Walter Cunningham, Eisele participated in and executed maneuvers enabling the crew to perform exercises in transposition and docking and lunar orbit rendezvous with the S-IVB stage of their Saturn IB launch vehicle. They completed eight successful test and maneuvering ignitions of the service module propulsion engine, They also measured the accuracy of performance of all spacecraft systems, and provided the first effective television transmissions of onboard crew activities.
Apollo 7 was placed in an Earth-orbit with an apogee of 153.5 nautical miles (284.3 kilometers) and perigee of 122.6 nautical miles (227.1 km). The 260-hour, four-and-a-half million mile (7.25 Gm) shakedown flight was successfully concluded on October 22, 1968, with splashdown occurring in the Atlantic, eight miles (15 km) from the carrier Essex (only three-tenths of a mile or 0.6 km from the originally predicted aiming point). Eisele logged 260 hours in space.

While at Princeton, Conrad met Jane DuBose, a student at Bryn Mawr, whose family owned a 1600 acre ranch near Uvalde, Texas. Her father, Winn DuBose, was the first person to call Conrad “Pete” rather than “Peter,” the name he had used since birth. Upon his graduation from Princeton and acceptance of his Navy commission, Conrad and Jane were married on June 16, 1953.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gus_Grissom
Missions Mercury-Redstone 4, Gemini 3
Virgil Ivan Grissom, more widely known as Gus Grissom, (3 April 1926 – 27 January 1967) was one of the original NASA Project Mercury astronauts and a United States Air Force pilot. He was the second American to fly in space.
Gemini 3
In early 1964 Alan Shepard was grounded after being diagnosed with Ménière's disease and Grissom was designated command pilot for Gemini 3, the first manned Project Gemini flight. This mission would make him the first astronaut to fly twice beyond the accepted boundary of space. Grissom was one of the smaller-sized astronauts and he worked very closely with the engineers and technicians from McDonnell Aircraft who built the Gemini capsule. The first three spacecraft were built around him and the design was humorously named the Gusmobile. However by July 1963 NASA discovered 14 out of the 16 astronauts could not fit themselves into the cabin and later cockpits were modified.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Mueller_%28NASA%29
George Mueller (b. July 16, 1918[1]) was one of NASA's "most brilliant and fearless managers."[2]. He was Associate Administrator of the Office of Manned Space Flight from September 1963 until December 1969. He was instrumental in the "All-up" philosophy of testing the Saturn V booster that accelerated a floundering Apollo program and ensured it would succeed in landing a man on the Moon and returning him safely to the Earth by the end of 1969. Mueller (he pronounced it Miller) also played a key part in the design of Skylab[3] and the championed the space shuttle's development.

Plot summary for
Beyond the Stars (1989)
This Sci-Fi Drama centers around the teen-age Eric, son of a computer scientist who worked for the Apollo mission which sent the first human to the moon. Eric, determined to become an astronaut himself one day, befriends Paul Andrews, the first man on the moon. Paul is avoided by other astronauts nowadays, because he was very rude and rebuffing when he returned from space. Only slowly Eric learns, that he discovered something during his excursion on the moon, that he keeps as a secret.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cicada
A cicada is an insect of the order Hemiptera, suborder Auchenorrhyncha, in the superfamily Cicadoidea, with large eyes wide apart on the head and usually transparent, well-veined wings. There are about 2,500 species of cicada around the globe, and many remain unclassified. Cicadas live in temperate to tropical climates where they are among the most widely recognized of all insects, mainly due to their large size and remarkable acoustic talents. Cicadas are sometimes colloquially called "locusts",[1] although they are unrelated to true locusts, which are a kind of grasshopper. They are also known as "jar flies". Cicadas are related to leafhoppers and spittlebugs. In parts of the southern Appalachian Mountains in the United States they are known as "dry flies" because of the dry shell they leave behind.
Male cicadas have loud noisemakers called "timbals" on the sides of the abdominal base. Their "singing" is not the stridulation (where two structures are rubbed against one another) of many other familiar sound-producing insects like crickets: the timbals are regions of the exoskeleton that are modified to form a complex membrane with thin, membranous portions and thickened "ribs". Contracting the internal timbal muscles produces a clicking sound as the timbals buckle inwards. As these muscles relax, the timbals return to their original position producing another click. The interior of the male abdomen is substantially hollow to amplify the resonance of the sound. A cicada rapidly vibrates these membranes, and enlarged chambers derived from the tracheae make its body serve as a resonance chamber, greatly amplifying the sound. They modulate their noise by wiggling their abdomens toward and away from the tree that they are on. Additionally, each species has its own distinctive song.[1]
Although only males produce the cicadas' distinctive sound, both sexes have tympana, which are membranous structures used to detect sounds and thus the cicadas' equivalent of ears. Males can disable their own tympana while calling. [4]Adult cicadas have a sideways-ridged plate where the mouth is in normal insects.
Some cicadas produce sounds up to 120 dB (SPL)[5] "at close range", among the loudest of all insect-produced sounds.[6] Conversely, some small species have songs so high in pitch that the noise is inaudible to humans[citation needed]. Species have different mating songs to ensure they attract the appropriate mate. The song intensity of the louder cicadas acts as an effective bird repellent.[citation needed] Males of many species tend to gather which creates a greater sound intensity and protects against avian predators.[citation needed] It can be difficult to determine which direction(s) cicada song is coming from, because the low pitch carries well and because it may, in fact, be coming from many directions at once, as cicadas in various trees all make noise at once.
