Cast Away Into Space A while back, Lain made a Forrest Gump reference regarding a story I posted about the ESA's Smart-1 lunar probe, launching in about half a month ("I am not a Smart-1 probe, but..."). Now, continuing the Tom Hanks-Smart-1 connection, is this story from The Guardian, which describes Smart-1 as a "space probe the size of a washing machine," clearly a reference to the comment in Apollo 13 about Lovell's piloting skills.
