Mistake Factual error: In 1986 the only Space Camp was in Huntsville, Alabama. How did they get to Florida so fast?

Mistake Other: Max takes Jinx and puts him in his locker at Space Camp. Wouldn't NASA notice if a $27 million robot went missing?

Mistake Factual error: While in space, Max asks for Kevin's help to show him how to use the shuttle washroom. Kevin takes Max into the washroom and shows him how it works, then tells Max to close the door and turn the fan on. Only a second passes after the door shuts until we hear Max "moaning". He couldn't have taken his space suit off and the other preparations in under two seconds time.

Mistake Factual error: We are supposed to believe that an accidental shuttle launch put a bunch of kids into space. At any time during the launch, however, the mission can be aborted by separating the shuttle from the external fuel tank and solid rocket boosters. This is an abort procedure used by NASA. The shuttle can either turn around and return to Florida, depending on how close it is, or land in a backup facility in Europe or Africa. This procedure can be implemented before the throttle up procedure, which is depicted in the movie and indicates the pilots are committed to completing the flight into space.

Mistake Continuity: When Andie goes out to get the oxygen from Daedelus she cannot reach it because her helmet won't let her through the structure of the space station, so Max offers to go and help her because he is smaller, but the only suit they can find is an adult one. After a lot of struggling they manage to make the suit smaller and he fits through the structure to get the oxygen but his helmet is the same size as Andie's so although his suit was smaller, he should not have been able to fit. Also notice how long her belt is when Max emerges from the ship. She would have to have about 30 ft of belt to wrap that much around him.
