Factual error: Motion is physically wrong when he jumps on to the rotating scanner while floating in space above Neptune. Firstly he matches its rotation before he's even grabbed hold of it properly. Centrifugal force would rip him off it unless he's got a really tight grip on it. He even perches on the end of it, moving around in a circle, while not holding on. Violates Newton's 1st Law.

Answer: On the way from the Moon to Mars, the Cepheus interplanetary vessel receives an automated distress signal from a Norwegian bio-medical space station (that studies and conducts experiments on Earth animals in the deep-space environment). Apparently, a couple of very powerful and temperamental adult baboons escaped from their cages and killed everyone aboard the space station, feeding on their bodies. When the Cepheus answers the distress signal and arrives at the space station, the baboons attack and try to eat Captain Tanner and Roy McBride, also.
