Did anybody notice this discrepancy?
I just watched the movie last night and I noticed something a little off about the movie. Just before the squall hit. The radio was playing and the crew were listening to the launch of the first American in space, Alan Shepard, onboard Freedom 7. Now, that happened on May 5, 1961. After I watched the movie I was interested in the actual defininition of a squall. Myself not being a sailor or anything. When I looked it up it meantioned the sinking of the Albatross. In the artical it said that it sunk on May 2, 1961, three days before it was protrayed in the movie. I'm just curious why this was done and if anyone else had caught this.
