Corrected entry: Whenever we see all the pods moving underneath Thunderbird 2 as Virgil (or whoever) selects the appropriate one for the mission, there's not enough space between them to allow Thunderbird 2 (with its wings) to descend on the selected pod.

Correction: Once a pod is selected, the pods on either side move apart, hence allowing TB2 to fit.
