It does somewhat end in mid air,
but then again, it's a bit B movie-ish...
You have to remember it was made around the same time as such epics like the towering inferno... look at how cheap that looks today by modern film standards, but at the time I thought it was great,

Ahh, the Andromeda Strain, another classic I havent seen in years....

ok Andromeda Strain isn't a bad film.

So with all the scifi folks here do we need to add Octocon to the list of events? :)

very funny al, but why would nasa need to build a set today they could get dreamworks to do a better job if they were going to fake it. just shows there is one born every minute.

Can anyone remember the early scifi film where an astronaut took off from earth only to find a copy of the Earth directly on the far side of the sun ???
