** It's the typical Hollywood "You can only be a ''Star Wars'' nerd or ''Star Trek'' nerd" stereotype. It's something that so few Hollywood creators still get wrong, as you barely see any characters mentioning being fans of other Sci-Fi shows like Farscape or ''Series/BlakesSeven'', or ''Series/Space1999'', or some other sci-fi series or franchise in modern works (the only exclusion to this was ''Series/TheBigBangTheory'', but it sometimes played this stereotype straight just as much as it averted it a few times). In the time that the film was made, it was either ''Star Wars'' or ''Star Trek'', and couldn't be anything else outside of those two. And for this film, considering that the film was distributed by 20th Century Fox, it's easier for them to use quotes and references to ''Star Wars'' since they owned the rights to the film and wouldn't have to worry about paying rights to Paramount, a rival studio, for quotes and references to ''Star Trek'' and other tie-in works to that franchise.

** RTLS was considered an extremely hazardous maneuver, even the best shuttle pilots didn't look forward to attempting it if they didn't have to. Transatlantic Abort or Abort Once Around would have been more viable. . .but then there wouldn't have been as much of a movie. The kids weren't trained on the emergency egress, and rushing to get panicking kids, completely untrained and unexperienced in the technique, to basically zipline away from a shuttle that's moments from explosion would have been as hard as performing the RTLS maneuver.
