Corrected entry: At the point where they need to leave "Icarus 1" the sexy guy rips some foil apart to reveal the space suit. Shortly afterwards, one of the others blows dust from the suit, as if it has been out in the ship's atmosphere as long as everything else on board.

Correction: "The sexy guy" is ripping insulation off the walls, upon one of which the only remaining space suit hangs, in order to provide the other two with a degree of protection. The suit is not behind this insulation.

Corrected entry: A human body is mostly composed of water at the right atmospheric pressure. In a vacuum environment, the water will instantly evaporate. Making the astronaut's bodies explode when propelling themselves from Icarus 1 to 2. Otherwise astronauts wouldn't need pressurized suits.

Correction: It takes a much greater shift in atmospheric pressure to cause a human body to explode. Google the question and you'll find that most every expert agrees a human being could survive exposure to space for up to 30 seconds with no permanent injury.

Corrected entry: Capa escapes the Icarus II spacecraft using the spacesuit to reach the bomb payload. When the bomb payload begins to move away from Icarus II, the rocket thrusters damage the Icarus II spacecraft to the point of destruction. When you see the spaceship explode you can see that the front part of the craft where the shield dish is has no thrusters or engine in which to move away from the sun and the bomb payload. I assume that the craft designers orginally intended for the crew to be able to survive the mission and escape, but how is this possible if there is no engine or thrusters for the ship to move away from the sun? Turning the ship round is no option, as the sun would destroy the ship, hence the need for the dish which acts as a shield.

Correction: The ship has its own thrusters that rotate in whatever direction needed. The payload thrusters did not damage the ship to the point of destruction. The ship was destroyed by the sun.
