* ArtisticLicenseSpace: One minor issue with the launch sequence: at external tank (ET) separation, the bottom of the external tank is depicted below the level of the orbiter's main engines. In the actual Space Shuttle stack, the external tank was entirely above. If it launched the way that one model set was built, the exhaust from the main engines would excessively heat the liquid hydrogen.

* SmallRoleBigImpact: In universe. Kevin, being Mission Commander, should be the one to answer the routine radio-check with the control room. He gives Katherine the opportunity, which to most people would seem very minor. However, Katherine, who has always wanted to go to space, is able to give the ''official'' response. You can seen the Mission Controllers getting a kick out of how excited she is about it.

* CouldHaveAvoidedThisPlot: the one linchpin to the entire plot is Kevin stealing someone else's badge to get on the Blue Team. If he wasn’t put back on the Yellow Team where he belonged, we don’t get him tearing into Max after he gets caught off-site with Kathryn, leading to Jinx becoming the LiteralGenie and launching the Blue Team into orbit.

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: So what exactly did happen to Hideo Takamini, the camper whose place on the Blue Team was usurped by Kevin? He's never seen again after Kevin swipes his badge and is never mentioned after the confusion at the first roll call.

* ActivationSequence: After hearing Max's wish to go into space, Jinx goes to the NASA main network, which he activates in a scene where the top of his main body lifts up with flashing lights coming out of it, while the computers activate one by one, their lights and screens coming on. He does it a second time later, but since we've already seen in by that point, this one only lasts about five seconds as opposed to more than thirty.

* LivingOutAChildhoodDream: Since Andie Bergstrom was a child, she dreamed of traveling into space. As an adult, she became an astronaut but she never was assigned to a shuttle space mission; instead, she became the instructor of a group of teenagers at the space camp. Her dream unexpectedly comes true when launch control is forced to launch the shuttle with Andie and the kids inside. Of course, she's not happy because they have little oxygen and no supplies when she has to keep everybody alive as they figure out a way of returning to Earth.

* AccidentalAstronaut: A group of children is attending the titular space camp to learn about the NASA space program and experience astronaut training. When a malfunctioning robot hears one of them wish to go into space, it hacks the NASA computers and launches them into orbit while they're aboard a space shuttle.
