OK, here it goes:
So I remember this movie, I had gone to see it in the dollar theater, since I had missed its initial run. So I watched this movie, and whether or not you want me to here me say it was a good movie or not(I thought it was, and years later I watch it from time to time, and I still like it), I just remember sitting in that theater, like it was yesterday. I was with my wife, before she was my wife, and I remember that the movie had ended and I sat there a second. This was one of those movies that puts the title at the end, only a few movies has done this throughout the history of cinema, so this movie is unique in that way alone. So I was sitting there and waiting for the credits that had not come yet, but instead I saw the title, along with a crescendo of the score, which I thought was just fantastic. I sat there looking at the screen, and at that moment it hit me that I will never in my lifetime see actual live or delayed live video from deep space. We as a human species will not leave this planet in a way that is portrayed in this movie. Not in my lifetime, nor my daughters, or her grandchildren. This made me sad. I remember that my wife had gotten up leave already was asking me to 'come on, lets go'. I told her to sit down a minute, I was listening to the music.
There is a movie coming out soon, called 'Interstellar', by Chris Nolan. This movie seems like it will deal with what I would love to see, portrayed in a more realistic manner.
Well, for now I still have my Hubble HD photos of Interstellar magic to look at.....
