   	Plus, 'Marooned' is different from 'Space Travellers'.  The   
   'Space Travellers' cut is a lot shorter, at least in the version that   
   Best Brains got.  The 'Space Travellers' cut removes many things which   
   make the movie more interesting, like the President's phone call, or   
   the actual launch of the rescue vehicle (which is a quite good scene).   
   I can't give you a scene-by-scene rundown of what's cut, but the   
   original is better.   
      
   	Of course, I'm a space-history buff myself so I'll even try to   
   watch Robert Altman's _Countdown_, which crushed many in   
   sci.space.history with a five-minute shot of nothing but James Caan   
   flipping switches.  (I don't know if it actually is that long, since   
   whenever I do try to watch it, it's because I discovered it two-thirds   
   of the way through on Turner Classic Movies and Caan is getting close   
   to his lunar Gemini landing.)
