Mistakes

Kemp's Moon ferry is essentially a kind of cargo carrying truck for making quick sub-orbital hops between points on the lunar surface. In the story the ship's services are hired for the purpose of attaching rocket engines onto a passing asteroid. This entails accelerating to lunar escape velocity, entering a solar orbit which matches that of the asteroid, dropping out of that solar orbit to one matching the Moon's, and at last braking its fall to make a soft landing. This amounts to an enormous total velocity change for the spacecraft's large total mass. The visible hull section available for carrying the propellant cannot possibly be carrying enough reaction mass to accomplish the mission. See more...

Trivia

Moon Zero Two is one of only three movies (of which I'm aware) that portray the vacuum of space as being non-acoustical: there are no sound effects laid in for the "outdoor" scenes. The other two flicks are 2001: A Space Odyssey, and Destination Moon. See more...
