Episode Two: The Series Has Landed - S1-E2
Corrected entry: The part of the Lunar Module that Fry and Leela go inside shouldn't be there, the astronauts would of used it to get back to the CSM orbiting the moon. The whole thing lands on the moon but the cabin, the bit where they go in, should actually be floating in space somewhere after they had jettisoned it.
Episode Two: The Series Has Landed - S1-E2
Corrected entry: As shown in other episodes, there are quite a few people who were cryogenically frozen for hundreds of years. If this is so, Then how is it possible they don't know what really happened in the lunar landing? Many more people besides Fry must have noticed something was amiss about the "fungineers" take on the moon landing.
Correction: And those people were probably ignored like Fry because they were from the "stupid ages".
Episode Two: The Series Has Landed - S1-E2
Corrected entry: When they launch to the moon, the ship takes off and arrives at the moon in about 1.5 seconds, at about twice the speed of light. As they are still in Earth's atmosphere, the ship would be, as a result, slamming into air molecules at twice the speed of light. Even at 90% the speed of light, something coming into contact with another molecule would fuse that molecule with the object and send out a huge burst of gamma radiation, tearing apart that molecule and filling the air with plasma. If such a takeoff was to happen in real life, the air molecules that the Planet Express Ship contacts would result in a plasma wall so huge that New York would be leveled, and the ship would just be dust.
Correction: As is specified in later episodes the Planet Express spaceship doesn't move anywhere - it bends space around it. Anyone trying to argue the physics of such a procedure is, quite frankly, wasting their time.
Correction: Given that there is centuries worth of technological advancement as well as tech from alien cultures, we cannot say that there aren't advances that make it safe.
Correction: This is explained in the episode. When Amy shows up with the Planet Express Ship, right after Fry says "It's Amy, we're saved", you can see a plaque inside the module with the text "Lander returned to this site by the Historical Sticklers Society". So no mistake here.
