Inducing hypercapnia as an interrogation method is patently ludicrous, as it is generally too slow to create any useful effect, or if induced quickly would cause a person to almost instantly lose consciousness and die as their the respiratory system would fail within as little as one minute.
Furthermore, the screen clearly shows oxygen levels maintaining 20.1 percent volume whilst the carbon dioxide partial pressure continues to rise. This mixture almost always causes immediate seizures, and loss of consciousness owing to central nervous system oxygen toxicity.

Aleida uploads a course correction to the asteroid ship near Mars with only 2 minutes left before the ship's burn time change cannot be made. However, radio signals from Earth to Mars take between 5 to 20 minutes, depending on the distance between the two planets in their respective orbits.
When the Mars security forces are preparing their weapons, a paintball gun is clearly visible around 59:48.
These are presumably the low velocity weapons which had been talked about: they presumably use an air charge to fire a projectile which will hurt a human but not penetrate the walls of the base.

It's already been establishes that the authorities are suspicious of Sam, to the point where they asked her supervisor to specifically watch her, and yet, inexplicably, they allow her to go alone to make mission critical adjustments in the final minutes of the burn.
The Russians would not have turned Dr Madison over to the US voluntarily, as she could obviously trade information about Roscosmos for lenient treatment in prison.
If the asteroid's velocity could be changed to a Mars orbit with even the surplus fuel in a hastily-assembled spacecraft, then (since there was no longer a deadline), reversing the velocity change and putting the asteroid on a trajectory for Earth could have been easily done later.
