      <description>When the cabin temperature drops, an astronaut's breath is visible. His visible breath rises as he exhales. This is an effect of gravity - on earth the water vapor in breath, which is the component that becomes visible in the cold, rises because it is lighter than the surrounding air. Since the astronaut was in a &quot;weightless&quot; environment, his breath should have travelled in a straight path from his mouth into the surrounding atmosphere, rather than rising.</description>

      <description>During the launch sequence, all nine swingarms on the launch tower are seen retracting, one by one, as the Saturn V reaches full thrust. In real life, only five swingarms would still be attached to the rocket during this phase. These &quot;in-flight&quot; arms would swing away as the rocket lifted off and cleared the launcher.</description>
