"After peering into the void from a perch
outside the visitor center, young Henry, 9,
said he liked the rugged landscape.
'It’s a good place to film a space movie,' he said.
Funny he should mention that —
the crater was the setting for the climactic scenes
of the 1984 sci-fi film 'Starman,' with Jeff Bridges
and Karen Allen arriving for a rendezvous with
an alien mother ship."
