* 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.

* FailureIsTheOnlyOption: A meta example when Kathryn is strapped into the multi-axis trainer and instructed to stop its spinning. The machine is real; Space Campers are actually subjected to it at some point during their time at camp. However, the joystick she uses to try and counteract the rotation is a Hollywood prop, added for the film, that controls nothing. Neither Kathryn nor anyone else placed in the simulator would have any chance of "recovering from the spin".

* ArtisticLicensePhysics: A Space Shuttle launch was never 3 ''g''[[note]]''g'' is the measure of acceleration that matches the normal gravitational force of Earth at sea level, or 9.8 meters/second squared. In layman's terms, it's how much heavier a person feels during acceleration.[[/note]] of acceleration during the entire launch. Forces during the SRB portion would typically be no higher than 2.5 ''g'' prior to their burnout, falling back to normal acceleration at SRB separation. Forces would gradually increase during the main engine burn, only peaking at 3 ''g'' just past T+7 minutes, at which point the orbiter's main engines would begin to throttle down to keep acceleration from going any higher to prevent injury to the crew. Still, the sudden jolt of SRB ignition would've definitely thrown an unrestrained Kathryn back in the flight deck as depicted.
