Possible goof with hanks speech


Twice in the film this happens possibly. Once when hanks is explaining landing on the moon to his kid, and again when he is in the spacecraft talking to control he says what really sounds like "attitude" instead of "Altitude"

reply

No, attitude is a correct term. It refers to the spacecraft's relative position - is it leaning forward, leaning back, to one side, etc.

Well dont i feel like a jack ass. Thank you sir, just seems like a slip.
