What's left behind the scenes

  • Dennis Quaid replaced Ken Wahl.
  • Ellen Barkin was considered for one of the roles.
  • When working on the astronauts' spacesuits, the costume designers used silver fabric and other materials left over from making clothes for the singer and actress Cher.
  • Stuntman-parachutist Joseph Swack died on set while performing a stunt. His helmet filled with smoke, causing him to suffocate and fail to deploy his parachute.
  • The film is based on the novel of the same name by Tom Wolfe (1979).
  • Actor Ed Harris auditioned for the role of Glenn twice: the first time, producers felt the actor's work in front of the camera was unremarkable.
  • The majority of the film was shot at Hamilton Air Force Base north of San Francisco.
  • Chuck Yeager was hired as a technical consultant during filming. He taught the actors how to fly, reviewed storyboards and special effects, and pointed out mistakes.
  • Kaufmann provided the actors playing the seven astronauts with an extensive collection of videotapes for study and role preparation.
  • Numerous scaled and full-size aircraft models were used during filming. The first special effects shot were too realistic, and the footage had to be artificially degraded to resemble the actual footage from NASA's early reports. Nevertheless, Kaufmann was dissatisfied with the result and dismissed almost the entire special effects team. In the end, special effects were almost restarted from scratch, using unconventional methods such as launching a model on a cord from a hill, or using smoke machines to simulate clouds, or launching an F-104 model from a large slingshot and filming the flight from 4 cameras simultaneously.
