   They got all kinds of picky little details right, but then they show an   
   MMU providing 10,000 feet per second of delta-V (it actually has 80--for   
   10,000 you need an all up  Apollo including the S-IVB, nothing else that   
   has ever flown with a human aboard can do that unless the Russians did   
   an all up manned test of the Soyuz in the lunar configuration.  Then   
   they did the same thing again with the Soyuz, having it do 6000 feet per   
   second of delta-V using only the soft landing rockets that actually have   
   about 20.

   wanted to tell".
