How ironic.
The "space plane" rendezvousing with the orbiting space station in the opening section is a
Pan Am ship. Pan Am went out of business in 1991, ten years before the events of the film.
Ironic that.

"He's dead."
where is the irony?
shareMovie producers used Pan Am as an example of future corporations in 2001:A Space Odyssey and Blade Runner, thinking the airline to be strong and stable, yet it was one of the first large airlines to go under.
It is informal irony: a contradiction between circumstances and expectations.
Thank you. I get it now. Yes that is ironic. I got the sense that the difference of exactly 10 years made it ironic, this I cannot see - may very well be, I just cannot see it.

Bingo!
