*** {{spoiler|Of course, the "Too Heavy" part may have been a cover, given the satellite's '''real''' purpose}}.
** Also: a tour guide states that in order to reach the Moon, you only have to get something (in this case, a hypothetical baseball) halfway there, since the Moon's gravity would take it the rest of the way. {{spoiler|This comes up again at the end, when there is not enough fuel available to get the satellite all the way to the Moon, but it's supposedly okay because there's enough, given a [[Heroic Sacrifice]], to make it halfway.}}. While it is true that you only need to get something partway to the Moon before the Moon's gravity will carry it the rest of the way in, the distance required is closer to 95%, not halfway.
* [[Younger Than They Look]]: [[Tommy Lee Jones]] is 11 years younger than Donald Sutherland, 17 than Clint Eastwood, and 19 than James Garner, yet is portrayed as being around the same age bracket as them (though he is the youngest member of Team Daedalus). Jones was 54 when starring in a film where there was a [[Running Gag]] of all the leads' old friends having passed away from age and the like.
