Goofs

The jumpsuits used in the movie, complete with the current Space Camp patch, didn't come around until much later. During the period the movie takes place (1989), the jumpsuits were sky blue, versus the darker blue used, and the Space Camp patch said "US Space Camp" rather than the current "Space Camp".

Great Great Movie!
13 February 2012 | by toappleway – See all my reviews

This film brought tears of Joy to my eyes as I watched it. Anyone who doesn't like this movie needs to have their emotions checked out!

There are so many great aspects of this film..The kid actors were fabulous and of course John Corbett does a great job as always.. The guy who played the owner of Big Dan's was really good and the voice of the Space Camp judge I loved. The judge really made me feel like he was also pulling for these kids.

This is one of the best TV movies I have seen in a long long time.. Way to go ABC and Hallmark!

I would highly recommend this movie! The best part is you can watch it with you kids, not many movies I can say that about.
