"GOTCHA!"
I think the best Wally Schirra gotcha story is the urine sample. Take a 5 gallon beaker, fill it with water and tincture of green soap and voila. The moment Dee O'Hara touched her hand to the beaker to see if it was warm, there Wally was....

Well Dick rode in the MegaPig, Al Bean got to ride in the Wennie, and Wally got the patch. It was a GHOTCHA moment for Wally.

A POD - a, uh, capsule. Now, we would be in full control of zis pod. It vill go up like a cannonball, and come down like, uh, a cannonball, splashing down into ze water, the ocean, vith a parachute to spare the life of the specimen inside.

The movie isn't nearly as good in French. Some 'translators' haven't a clue what the movie is about and translate things totally wrong.
Hearing someone else's voice come out when Ed Harris speaks is so odd... Francophones must get so confused watching voice-over movies because Ed Harris in movie A has a different voice than Ed Harris in movie B.
It is even more funny to watch 'SpaceCamp' in French. (I cannot remember if it is voice-over, but the sub-title words are way off in parts.)
I have too much time on my hands...
