Goofs:

Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): When the NASA computers tell Jinx that there is no "Max" in the space program, the display lists real-life astronauts and their status at the time of filming. Mark N. Brown's status is misspelled as "canidate". Seconds later, Virgil "Gus" Grissom's first name is misspelled "Vergil".

Quotes:

Kevin: What's the worst thing that can happen? We'll all die, right?

Is this disney? :)

Feels like a silly disney movie... The movie stinks of americanizm.

Though the effect of floating in space are pretty cool, the movie is bad.

I remember Lea Thompson for her excellecnt part in "Back To The Future", and here she's ok... Maybe your 4 year old kids will like this one..
