- After being shot at by helicopters while clinging to the wing of a cropduster, you immediately get in a Nissan Z-car and drive from West Texas to Virginia (Arlington National Cemetery) without changing your filthy, tattered NASA jumpsuit or otherwise cleaning up in any way.

Brubaker's funeral was going to be right outside of Houston, per the conversation Kelloway had with his wife by the pool. Not that it's really THAT much more plausible that he wouldn't at least want to change clothes and wash his face, but it's a little more plausible. -

IMDBers ought to give these "Things I learned after watching" threads a rest. Or better yet pension them off to a retirement home for elderly jokes.
They were never very funny to begin with, but now that they have proliferated like rabbits they've become IMDB's version of the "Knock knock" gag: everybody's doing them and they're starting to sound alike as well as lame. -

46 That when Hal Holbrook says put everybody you have to the west in your search, that of coarse means the same two helicopters you have been using the whole time.
That's awesome - I can't believe I never thought of that before. Good point.
Wait a minute who am I here? -

That was a kick-ass point.
Life can be a comedy or a tragedy, it all depends on how you look at it. -

- Gargle with mouthwash before drinking stale coffee late at night
- After trying to kill a news reporter by sabotaging the brakes in his car, show him you really mean business by shooting a few bullets in his general direction when he visits a remote tourist attraction. Then high-tail it out of there; reporters are known to pursue and take revenge on the assassin squads who shoot at them.
- Reporters and aerospace engineers in Texas generally talk like they are from the east coast or west coasts rather than the south.

- After two obvious attempts on your life, of COURSE you should follow your usual routine, going back to your office, free of concern that other attempts might be made.
- There is no more poignant piece of children's literature on this earth than "Fox in Sox".
- When prancing through a cemetery in slow motion, be sure to coordinate the landings and launches with your prancing partner. Synchronous prancing makes for a more triumphant visual.

- When an astronaut's wife leaves her house to address a massive throng of media encamped outside, generally only one reporter will have an actual question prepared.
- Always record the audio from spaceflight practice simulations, just in case it's needed later for some reason.
- If you are contemplating blowing the whistle on a muti-billion dollar government plot, discuss your plans openly on the actual location of the hoax, with plenty of cameras and microphones around.
- Nobody gives a crap about anything anymore.
