I've heard that one of the entry requirements for getting a job at NASA is (or was) to watch Armageddon and identify as many scientific inaccuracies as you can. If I recall correctly there's more than 240 of these error. Anyone know where I can find the complete list?

Thanks, I've seen that episode of Everything Wrong With before. However, your link contained a Reddit link which itself had the following link: http://www.badastronomy.com/bad/movies/armpitageddon.html. That's precisely the sort of thing I'm looking for. But it's incomplete. It has maybe 30 scientific inaccuracies. I'd like a more complete list.
shareWell, since NASA uses it as a teaching lesson you may not find it. Otherwise any of the students can look it up which would defeat the purpose of the assignment.
In any case, I hope you do find what you're looking for😊
This is just Bad. During the X-71 launch sequence, they used real Space Shuttle footage, and used computer graphics to stitch the image of the X-71 onto a shuttle rocket stack. However, at least once during the sequence, you could see they forgot or didn't bother to change the Shuttle to the X-71. They just left the video as it was, and you could clearly see that it was a real Shuttle, and not the X-71. This reminded me of the old TV show "I Dream of Jeannie", when they would show footage from two or three different rockets whenever Captain Nelson went into space. You'd see an Mercury rocket miraculously change in to a Saturn. I laughed out loud in the theater when I saw that scene!
Well the problems start with Aerosmith
shareSo are you saying there is more than 240 plot holes in this movie? That might be a record
shareIt's not a documentary. They took creative license with "facts".
shareThey weren't going on a jet plane. They were going on a rocket propelled space ship (the X-71, in fact).
