Stupidity: The ship crashes at the end after the reverse polarity from the shuttle causes an explosion. This could have been avoided by a) doing a spacewalk with a multimeter and checking the connections or b) not connecting the shuttle to the mothership. And it is hard to believe that there were no circuit breakers or fuses that would blow and protect the ship.

Factual error: If 2 spacecraft are travelling towards each other's planets, at the same speed, it would still take 6 weeks to get to each other's planet. They kept saying they must've turned back cause only 3 weeks elapsed.

Suggested correction: Where do you get it would take 6 weeks to travel to the other planet? Throughout the film they're constantly saying it's a 3-week trip to the planet and a 3-week trip back home, for a 6-week round trip.
