Apollo 10 1/2 And Houston Nostalgia

Richard Linklater's (Houston native) Apollo 10 1/2 was released on Netflix last week. Lots of great Houston 'scenes' and references, half the movie is a historical timeline and what it was like to live around NASA and in Houston in the late 60's. Though I grew up in Clear Lake in a different decade, I definitely felt a huge nostalgia factor watching this. I was hoping for more NASA adventure aspects (for the fictional part of the movie), but it was still really interesting especially for Houston natives.

Hadn't seen it mentioned on HAIF, figure plenty of people here would be interested in the film and portrayal.

My husband and I both grew up in Houston in that era, and he said the movie perfectly depicted a young boy growing up in a large family in Houston at that time.  I had a completely different childhood, but I did remember watching the moon landing on TV with my parents.
