 * Several scenes involving the Russian space station Mir were inaccurate: For one thing, the sturgeon that was implied to be their dinner would have burned in the atmosphere by the time it entered reentry, and even if some part of it managed to survive re-entry, the damage to the car would have been much more than just landing on the hood. Also, the cosmonauts had their helmets off when it was discovered that they accidentally left the hatch open, which would have actually resulted in their deaths due to decompressation. Lastly, by the time this episode aired, Mir was not only already decommissioned for about four years, but in fact was also deorbited and burned in the atmosphere a few months prior.
