proposed addition

edit
By one calculation, The Dream Is Alive is the highest grossing documentary in the U.S., with box office of U.S.$125.9 million.[1]

As I wrote the source in question, per WP:COI, I suggest it on the talk page for editors to decide what to do with rather than adding it myself. THF 00:00, 9 August 2007 (UTC)Reply

  • I strongly disagree with this addition. Unnotable, partisan-inspired list in a non-film unnotable partisan magazine, that will never be updated. The article is more anti-Michael Moore than it is about a film or tracking the box office receipts of films. --David Shankbone 03:07, 9 August 2007 (UTC)Reply

Consensus: Not to use Ted Frank's list

edit

Based on arguments over this list on Talk:Sicko, Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents and Wikipedia:Conflict of interest/Noticeboard, the consensus is that this list, mentioned directly above, should in no way be used. --David Shankbone 15:31, 10 August 2007 (UTC)Reply

Footage of 41-B landing?

edit

The shuttle landing we see in the opening, I think it might have been from mission 51-A (Discovery's second landing) rather than 41-B. Challenger had at least one T-38 chase plane nearby during its fourth landing, but none were visible in the video. I don't know. Maybe it was off camera. And the shuttle doesn't have the characteristic additional black tiles on the tail that Challenger did, at least not that I see. Can anyone verify?

Have finally pinpointed where all of this confusion has stemmed from: the footage appears to be 51-A, but the audio is from 41-B. The radio calls are clearly Vance Brand and Hoot Gibson.Twoenginetal (talk) 11:45, 2 April 2016 (UTC)Reply

Flights

edit

By my reckoning, that's a total of 5 missions featured throughout the documentary.

The major sequences from STS-41-D and STS-41-C as well as the filler from STS-41-G. In addition, the initial landing from STS-51-A and the middle launch from STS-51-C. I believe the first launch is also from 51-C, but I don't have enough evidence to back that up as of just now. Twoenginetal (talk) 11:58, 2 April 2016 (UTC)Reply
