![]() ![]() if they were trying to show how safe space-travel is it doesn't make sense to destroy the capsule. ![]() 178.99.90.150 ( talk) 18:16, 3 March 2012 (UTC) Reply Dead astronauts would destroy the program much worse than if the launch had never happened. I'm guessing if they went a different way in the novelization, they explained the bad guys to have different motivations to in the movie. The whole conspiracy was about showing success so the budget didn't get pulled. Dead astronauts would destroy the program much worse than if the launch had never happened. What would be the point of the charade of putting them on a jet dong a U-turn and taking them back where they started to kill them? Further, the whole point of the conspiracy was to have a successful mission. Then the jet turns around and puts them back where they were a few minutes earlier - The next we see of them are in a briefing room that was established earlier to be right next to the film set. If you watch the scene where the heat shield is failing, the astronauts are on board the jet flying out. Betty Logan ( talk) 09:30, 19 October 2011 (UTC) Reply Having just watched the film, it seems that the bad guys were going to allow them to return home. the vessel burns up on re-entry implying the astronauts must have died. The motivations are unclear, so we should just stick to the events that are depicted i.e. It is not clear the accident was planned, nor is it clear it wasn't, so I suggest we simply remove the word "unexpectedly".

It is quite clear in the book (which, unusually, the movie follows very closely) that Kelloway and his conspirators had no intention of allowing the astronauts to return alive (think about it.
