* TwoDSpace: It's mentioned that the aliens "got through the defenses at Saturn," as if it was a mandatory prerequisite to attack Earth. One can easily assault any part of the Solar System without passing the rest, by travelling in a direction that's not in the planetary coplanar orbits. In a similar vein, there really wasn't a need to fly through the 1996 Mothership's debris field to reach the Moon. Could have gone "up and over" (or down and under) it, avoiding chances of a navigational mishap. (although that's Jake in a ship he didn't have permission to take bringing David rejecting orders, so Jake might be taking [[PathOfMostResistance the hard way]] to avert being discovered - or just taking the orbital equivalent of a straight line to save time).

* TourismDerailingEvent: Played with. While it's more about prestige then tourism money, President Lanford refusing to address the fact an alien ship appeared on the Moon and was shot down with no idea if it was hostile or not, solely to keep the Independence Day celebrations continue without interruption.
