Everyone Wanted to Be on This Ship - S1-E1

Other mistake: The Ark has two rotating sections. The rotation is to make simulated gravity. We see that when rotation stops, and everyone is weightless. But there is no need to rotate. The ship has artificial gravity. The bridge does not rotate, but everyone walks around just fine.

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

Other mistake: Alicia puts the vials with the protein in a centrifuge, supposedly in order to mix them. When she's done, she takes a vial and shakes it to make sure it's mixed evenly. However, a centrifuge separates solutions into their ingredients, not mixes them. (00:34:00)

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

Other mistake: Alicia puts a square tray with vials into a device that looks like a small cabin. Then we see a supposedly top shot of the device, which is a centrifuge. But in the centrifuge, the vials are held in a circle, not in a square. (00:34:00)

Hoping for Forever - S1-E10

Factual error: Trust called Proxima B an "eyeball" planet, meaning according to him a planet that does not spin on its own axis and always has one side facing the sun. That is incorrect. If only one side faces the sun it means the rotation on its axis and its revolution around the sun are the same.Otherwise, the planet would seasonally have all of its surface facing the sun once every solar year.
