Factual error: Between Earth and the Moon the crew of the spacecraft have an EVA in which they walk on the ship's metal hull with magnetic boots. At one point an astronaut inadvertently slips both boots off the hull and drifts off into space, helpless. There is a long shot of him drifting away in which his body spontaneously spins around 180 degrees and then stops rotating, which is all a violation of conserved angular momentum.

The entire crew of rocketship Luna make it back to Earth by their wits & the skin of their teeth, even though earlier they were drawing straws to determine who'd have to stay behind due to a severe propellant shortage.
