**After landing on Europa, the crew is told the ambient temperature is holding at Absolute Zero, far colder than the mean temperature of Europa. Odd, but no big deal. Until we are told the ice will continue to shift more and more violently as the temperature drops.

!!This film provides examples of:
* AnachronicOrder: The film begins 16 months into the mission, when contact with Europa One is lost. It then goes a bit back and forth.
* ArtisticLicensePhysics: Despite being hard scifi, a few examples.
** A hydrazine spill in vacuum would most likely crystallize or evaporate away harmlessly rather than stick to a surface.
** The rotating crew module is far too small and spinning too slowly to create the gravity depicted inside. The astronauts also move normally while landed on Europa, which has lower gravity than Earth’s Moon.
