Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe Space Shuttle seen in this film is the Columbia in its STS-1 configuration --- the only one with a white external fuel tank. The spacecraft had arrived at Kennedy Space Center in March of 1979 and was scheduled to launch late in that year, but was delayed until April, 1981 due to engine and thermal protection system problems. Hence, the production was forced to use shots of the Shuttle on the launch pad, but an Apollo-era Saturn V rocket for the lift-off shots.
- GoofsWhen the space shuttle lifts off, it promptly turns into a Saturn V.
- Quotes
Prof. Jerry Milstein: It's a distinct possibility. We can make viruses now. An advanced civilization, they could make a perfect human.
David Susskind: A real, three-dimensional human? A human human? There's a dichotomy in this...
Prof. Jerry Milstein: If he's indistinguishable from you or me, what's the difference?
Hemling Grotowsky: Where is his soul? This is the basic question.
Rabbi Chaim Glassberg: How can he have a soul? His mother was a blender! The most he can have is a warranty.
Priest Babcock Beastly: I think that this event is clear proof that there is a God in the universe.
Hemling Grotowsky: This is clear proof that there is no God!
Rabbi Chaim Glassberg: You're both wrong. This is proof that there is a God but He doesn't know what the hell He is doing.
