Corrected entry: The astronauts' communication with their loved ones was without delay, when in fact it should have been a couple of seconds.

Deep Impact (1998)
Correction: It was said that the delay was because of the distance from Earth. When they say goodbye to their loved ones, they are much closer to Earth (only a few hours before impact), so there no longer is any (noticeable) delay on the line.

Correction: Just like with the entry of the tidal wave taking 45 minutes to reach shore (with the correction being it would be too boring to wait the 45 minutes) it would be boring to have to sit through the seconds of delay as well.
