1* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4YzRxLRYyUI main theme]] became RecycledTrailerMusic for years. If anyone is wondering how they got ''Music/JohnWilliams'' to do the music for this one, he had an opening in his schedule when Spielberg's musical of ''Peter Pan'' fell apart, and his friend then-Fox music head Lionel Newman (brother to [[Music/AlfredNewman Alfred]], and uncle of [[Music/RandyNewman Randy]], [[Music/ThomasNewman Thomas]] and [[Music/DavidNewman David]]) told him about this project. Lionel Newman receives "Special Thanks" in the end credits.
2* HarsherInHindsight:
3** It's bad enough this was released after the ''Challenger'' disaster.[[note]]In which the shuttle disintegrated just shortly after launch.[[/note]] One of the Blue Team's mission simulations ends with them burning up on re-entry. [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_Shuttle_Columbia_disaster Think about that for a second.]]
4--->'''Andie''': [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech You're all dead because you didn't work together as a team.]] ''(to Kevin)'' And you're responsible.\
5'''Kevin''': [[NeverMyFault Me?!]]\
6'''Andie''': That's right. You are shuttle commander, which means you are responsible for ''everything that happens on this ship!''\
7'''Kevin''': [[GotVolunteered I didn't ask to be responsible, remember?]]\
8'''Andie''': That's a pitiful excuse for killing six people.
9* RetroactiveRecognition:
10** Disney fans may recognize Tate Donovan (Kevin), who played the title character in ''WesternAnimation/{{Hercules}}''. Fans of ''Series/TheOC'' might recognize him as Jimmy Cooper.
11** Max is played by a young Creator/JoaquinPhoenix in his second ever film role. Yes. The adorable little space nerd would later become an [[Film/{{Gladiator}} insane emperor]], a [[Film/{{Napoleon2023}} sane emperor]] and an (arguably) [[Film/{{Joker2019}} even more insane supervillain-to-be]].
12* SpiritualSuccessor: 2013's ''Space Warriors'' is this to ''[=SpaceCamp=]'' (somewhat).
