Trivia

Throughout the film we see the teens carrying oranges with them. This is because the Space Camp outlawed them when a food fight erupted with oranges, but Raj, one of the teens, would bring in boxes of oranges for their enjoyment.

User Reviews

kids need inspiration

As one who was and is in the space program, it's great to see these kids motivated.

i'd be curious to see where they are now, 4 years later...

did they follow their dream or did politics of manned space crush or deflect their path...

if anyone gets to Mars, it will most likely be SpaceX...
