Robert Carradine and Jeff Speakman in Scorpio One (1998)

Goofs

Scorpio One

Edit

Factual errors

The shuttle orbiter docks with the space station by connecting with its underside, but the underside of the orbiter has no hatchway. The orbiter has a hatch on the port side which is used to enter and exit the vehicle before and after flight, and an airlock that opens into the payload bay - which is on the opposite side to the underside of the orbiter.
When the shuttle orbiter docks with the space station, the payload bay doors should be opened so that the radiator panels can be deployed to get rid of waste heat.
The space station is supposed to have two Apollo Command Modules attached as emergency return vehicles. However the Command Module's fuel tanks are only for manoeuvering during re-entry. Its rockets do not have enough power to de-orbit; that would be done using the very large engine on the Service Module, which is not included in this case, making the Command Modules useless for returning to Earth.

Revealing mistakes

In the CIA office, the left-hand clock on the wall has its minute hand slightly behind all the other clocks in the array.

Errors in geography

When investigating the space station, a view out of a window shows the complete Earth. It's actually the famous photo taken on Apollo 17 known as the "Blue Marble". That couldn't be the view from a space station orbiting the Earth as it was taken from a distance of about 28,000 miles, which is around 10 times the altitude of a space station. In fact, astronauts on the ISS can only see a small portion of the Earth's surface at any one time.
