The moon shown in the film for October 14, 1947 (Yeager's Bell X-1 flight) was three-quarters waning. The actual phase for that day was a new moon. The image shown would have been correct eight days earlier, on October 6, 1947. (The full moons shown on the dates of Ham's flight, January 31, 1961, and Glenn's flight, February 20, 1962, were correct.)
