Were they gay?
I just watched this movie on the TV for the 100th time and I think I just noticed something that made me curious.
During the launch, just after the prayer, the two young "backups" were holding hands? I just briefly saw it for a fraction of a second and I'm not sure I saw correctly.
I'm just curious about it as this would, in fact, add a bit to the main plot. Also, through the years, I've checked this movie's forum some times (I like the "scientific" discussions about the physics involved and all the NASA stuff) and I don't remember any mention of this.
So, did anybody see this too?
