Kelly Jones and Cole Davis from Fly Me to the Moon are in front of the lunar landing module.
Summary While Fly Me to the Moon is loosely based on the Apollo 11 moon landing, the movie takes many artistic liberties that change the story and characters. Apple Originals' movie Fly Me to the Moon focuses on a marketing specialist named Kelly Jones , who gets hired to sell the moon landing to the US public. She butts heads with the flight director, Cole Davis , who thinks the agency should prioritize science over public opinion.
According to the book NASA’s First 50 Years Historical Perspectives, the most significant monetary issues occurred with Project Gemini, not Project Apollo. Additionally, Apollo’s moon landing budget was increased from $19.5 billion in 1964 to $22.7 billion in 1966, which they didn’t exceed. The entire Apollo Project cost $21.3 billion. Based on this information, the Apollo 11 mission would have already had the necessary funds eight months before the mission when the movie starts.
6 NASA's Public Relations Team Was Made Up Of Reporters The PR Team Focused On Brand Journalism Instead Of Marketing Close Kelly Jones’ marketing job heavily connects to her background and willingness to lie in Fly Me to the Moon. She grew up helping her mom run scams, so it’s no surprise that she’d agree to fake a moon landing for NASA.
The change between Fly Me to the Moon and the real story is likely made to preserve the truth that Kranz expressed in the interview – he blamed himself for what happened. He felt the weight of responsibility because he could have stopped what happened if he’d spoken up about not being ready. Making Cole, Kranz’s counterpart, more involved in the action gives him a more substantial reason to harbor guilt.
