Factual errors: Once in orbit, the ship continues to blast its engines, even though in orbit this would no longer be necessary until the ship was ready to return to Earth. Also, the engines are heard roaring even though in space, without any atmosphere, there is no sound. moreFAQ

Humankind's first trip into space is perverted to test a superbomb. The mission becomes jeopardized when the rocket motor fails on the bomb and the bomb becomes attached to the ship due to (now scientifically discredited) the gravitational attraction between the two objects. Though the movie is talky, it is also quite thought provoking. The production values (particularly the cinematography and spaceship models) are excellent.
