Someone here at the University of Texas claims that during the part of
the movie when Glenn is orbiting the Earth and you see a shot of the 
moon behind the capsule that the shot of the moon shown is actually the
far side of the moon. I tried to watch for it when I saw the movie but 
was too buzy watching everything else to tell for sure. Anyone able to 
settle this? 

(then again maybe it was just an exteremely elliptical orbit)
