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.

Question: Tommy Lee Jones killed his crew 16 years ago, but the corpses are still inside the ship, some of them without signs of decomposition! Is not it stinky living with rotten bodies? Why are they still on board?
Answer: He also mentions that his last few loyal crew members recently attempted to return home. This is what damaged the reactor and caused the surges. It is likely that these are the crew Brad Pitt encounters.

Answer: He killed the crew by shutting down the life support. The vacuum would prevent them from decomposing. Since he was now a single person, he would not need to regain access to the entire ship.
But one corpse's head was deformed, presumably rotten, while the others were intact. Why is there a difference?
