Getting the Science Right

I've often mentioned how great it is when movies and books are backed by thorough research. I recently watched the bonus features for the movie Contact. They did an incredible job with their accuracy. The data on the computer screens, even the procedures that an organization would go through under similar circumstances. No normal person would know that these little details are legit. But I bet people in the know love it.

They did mention that they made a mistake. Cracker jacks stopped putting little toys in the boxes long before the film was set. So they joked that those cracker jack boxes had been sitting in storage for years.
