Factual error: Several times in the movie, you can see the airbase control centre communicate with aircraft using a VRC-46 radio. This radio, which transmits in the VHF frequency range, is not capable of communicating with combat aircraft due to the Doppler effect resulting from their high speed. Jet aircraft would use a UHF radio to communicate.

Factual error: Throughout the movie, we see soldiers at the air base control center communicate with the aircrafts using an RT-524 radio transmitter. This radio operates in the VHF range, which is not suitable for communication with fast jets due to the Doppler effect. To communicate with jets, you need a UHF range radio.

Factual error: When Raban meets the Baron Harkonnen in Harkonnen's bath, the water reaches nearly the top of the bath. As Harkonnen's large body descends into the liquid, the level of the liquid does not rise, in contradiction to Archimedes' principle. (00:46:37)

We Weren't Supposed to Be Awake - S1-E4

Factual error: Angus rushes to the bridge to tell the officers that the crystal that contaminated the glove was made from an unknown element, that's not on the periodic table. This means the element is heavier than the heaviest known element, Oganesson. In other words, it's a superheavy element. The problem is superheavy elements have an extremely short half-life time, usually measured by the milliseconds. Anything made from this element will dissipate before or shortly after it hits the ship. (00:40:00)

Get Out and Push - S1-E3

Factual error: When asked how the shuttle will move the large space ship, Alicia says, "We're in space. There's no gravity, resistance, or friction. Size doesn't matter, just force." However, Newton's second law still applies in space. F=m×a, or a=F/m. The acceleration is in direct ratio to the force and opposite ratio with the mass. In other words, given the force the shuttle's engines can apply, and the very large mass of the space ship, the acceleration the shuttle can produce is relatively small. (00:25:56)

Get Out and Push - S1-E3

Factual error: Alicia realizes that the asteroid is actually a comet by its tail. However, earlier in the episode we are told we are far from any star (so no point in opening the solar sails). The thing is, comets only develop a tail when they are near a star, which blows gases off the comet with the solar wind (the same wind that could operate solar sails). So in reality, there would be no tail to this comet.
