Factual error: When the man takes a picture at the party, he holds the camera up to his face like a modern camera. The old style camera he is using would require you to hold it down at waist level and look down into the viewfinder.

Suggested correction: He doesn't hold the camera right up to his face. It is in front of and below his face. You didn't need to hold these cameras right down at waist level. His viewing angle is fine.

Character mistake: A TV news announcer describes Alan Shepard's first manned launch into space as him being lifted to "an altitude of 116 miles per hour." That's not an altitude, that's a speed. It should have just been "116 miles."
