Factual error: Draper consults a recorded video-lecture on survival tips while on Mars. Behind the lecturer is a chalkboard with two force laws from physics written. One is Newton's law of gravity, the other is Coulomb's law for electric charges. The constant of proportionality for Coulomb's law is given as e0, whereas this is really only one component in the whole expression for the constant, 1/e04pi.
Robinson Crusoe On Mars (1964)
1 factual error
Directed by: Byron Haskin
Starring: Adam West, Paul Mantee, The Woolly Monkey, Victor Lundin
Genres: Sci-fi
Continuity mistake: While avoiding the glowing meteoroid, they decide to fire their jets to push them into a higher orbit. In a couple of scenes they go up but a third one has them going back down.
