There's so much bad science and such a lack of common sense in this film that it simply turns into a Bugs Bunny plot that's pretending to be a real movie.
Almost every scene had me scratching my head wondering how people could actually watch this without noticing how utterly wrong everything was.
Why not just have him build his rocket out of leftover wood the 2nd time around, and launch it by attaching a thousand bottle rockets to the base? It would make just as factual.
You're right, that doesn't make much sense.
Put it on the list of things that get destroyed by common sense. Just like about a hundred other things in this film...
Well I just watched it for the first time and got so angry about it that I went to IMDB message boards to rant - something I do every once in a while when I love or hate a movie.
Then I found out IMDB has scrapped their message boards. So I'm still so hacked off about it that I eventually end up registering here, only to find that BigJohnPilgrim has said almost word-for-word what I was going to say.
Look, suspension of belief is great. I've loved films where ghost armies tackle huge mythological elephants, where replicant human beings return to earth and get hunted down by bounty hunters, and where a suicidal banker is saved by an angel trying to earn wings. But you've still got to make it believable enough that anyone with a shred of common sense can still buy it. But the amount of bad science and sheer ignorance of the reality of space travel put this film out of orbit.
