Corrected entry: Aurora walks into the reactor control room and burns her hand on the manual reactor vent handle. If the air temperature was hot enough to heat the handle up, she never would have been able to enter the room. (01:32:00)

Factual error: Exterior shots of the spaceship show the main thruster/engine running. In outer space, this would cause continuous acceleration meaning that, during the spacewalk, Jim would have been left behind as soon as he let go of the ship.

Suggested correction: Not entirely correct. He will feel two inertial forces: the first is the forward acceleration you mention, and the second is the radial acceleration outward from the center of the ship, as a result of the ship's rotation. So he will be pulled to a balance point between these two forces.

Other mistake: Aurora doesn't get an arm injection when she wakes up from hibernation. The device should have been seen retracting (as Jim's did) just before she got the shock to start her heart.

Suggested correction: We also don't see the finger clips going off her fingers. Her pod was cloudy; we see her from the other side of the injection, and it's possible this was just edited out. It could have happened, and we just didn't see it.

Correction: We don't know if it was heated from the air. Maybe the control panel was heated from the reactor behind the glass.
