In the early scene showing some Chinese students launching some rockets, they bring up a huge solid-fuelled rocket. They would not be able to launch a rocket that size without passing various certifications, meaning that they would know they couldn't possibly attempt to launch it in a public park.
One of the students says that the multi-axis trainer is used to simulates an astronaut's re-entry from orbit. This is false. If a spacecraft really was tumbling in three axes as the trainer does then it would be out of control and about to burn up. The trainer is actually used to simulate an astronaut's disorientation during weightlessness and train them to respond correctly whilst spinning around and correct a tumbling spacecraft, like the real life incident of the Gemini 8 mission in 1966.
One of the students reports "Go in T minus 5, 4...". "T minus ..." indicates something is going to happen in a set time. He should have either said "We are at T Minus 5" or "We are Go in 5, 4 ..."
