Modify newscast movies #895

Description

@peyre

We've modified the text of some of the newscasts. For instance:

THE PRIME CONTRACTOR FOR THE CAPSULE PROGRAM ANNOUNCED TODAY THAT THEY CANNOT DELIVER ANY CAPSULES OR 4-PERSON CAPSULE/MODULES FOR A YEAR

has been changed to simply
THE PRIME CONTRACTOR FOR THE CAPSULE PROGRAM ANNOUNCED TODAY THAT THEY CANNOT DELIVER ANY CAPSULES FOR A YEAR.

because "4-Person Capsule/Modules" was needlessly confusing. A new user would see that and think "what's he talking about?" Of course it refers to direct ascent capsules (highlighting that they also act as lunar landing modules), but the game calls them just "capsules" elsewhere, so calling them "4-person capsule/modules" in needlessly confusing.

It occurred to me today I could probably modify the audio files for those newscasts to match the current text. At least it should be possible to cut out bits like this. Adding or modifying would be another story, of course. I'll have to start keeping track of which ones need fixing.
