I'd never noticed this before and I've watched this film countless times. Cheers for this.

One often unnoticed inaccuracy that Ron Howard could have fixed is that Gene Kranz said the average age of his mission controllers was 27 with many in their first jobs out of college, hardly anybody in their 30s. Gene himself was 36 during Apollo 11 and considered the OLD man, albeit the leader of the pack. It would have been great to portray the Apollo generation as it was in those days. Gene felt that this was an asset, because 20 year olds are to unaware to know what is impossible. I'd hate to think that Howard thought hiring 20 year old actors would have been unbelievable and as a result didn't do it, because that's how it actually was.
