Negative Return - S1-E2

Factual error: The communication delay for earth-moon communications is around 2.6 seconds. Yet Emma's daughter simply dials a cell phone and is connected to her Mom in space past the moon in less than that. The communication has no time lag. (00:18:45)

Negative Return - S1-E2

Factual error: While spacewalking all tools are tethered to prevent them from being lost. Yet Emma pulls out a hammer from a tool pouch, uses it, and it flies away. It was never tethered. (00:35:35)

Go - S1-E1

Factual error: The astronaut from the UK has what is supposed to be a British flag on his right arm. But it is not accurate. The red diagonal lines are in the wrong place. They are supposed to be 3/5 of the way counterclockwise of the white field, not in the center thereof. (00:04:40)

Negative Return - S1-E2

Question: While a spacewalk is going on, Mission Control has four camera feeds showing the action. Some of them seem to be taken from beyond the spacecraft. Where are these cameras? I can understand a TV show showing the action from various vantage points, but Mission Control having four camera feeds looks a little suspicious. (00:36:00)

Answer: I just answered my own question. Looking at the feeds, I see they have captions, such as Solar Array 3; Airlock forward, sleeping quarters, or similar tags. Therefore, they are legitimate feeds.
