A few of the rockets shown blasting off into space would never have made it into space because they are really short range military missiles.

The rocket is stated as travelling 28,000 kph at 2500 km altitude. The actual orbital speed at that height is 24,109 kph.

In the control room there is a large world map which is drawn very poorly. One would expect such a map to be very accurate, but South America and Africa are clearly distorted.
