This was especially true during the Gemini mission. In fact, I thought it captured how horribly camped and dark the Gemini capsule was and how stressful even a "normal" mission would be, much less one that went sideways like this one did. The launches of the Apollo and Gemini missions and the X-15 mission that opens the film all managed (to me) to really capture the sheer violence of these events. These were NOT Star Trek or Star Wars flights, there were nasty, dirty, real and REALLY difficult to accomplish.
