- Awesome Music: The main theme
became Recycled Trailer Music for years. If anyone is wondering how they got John Williams to do the music for this one, he had an opening in his schedule when Spielberg's musical of Peter Pan fell apart, and his friend then-Fox music head Lionel Newman (brother to Alfred, and uncle of Randy, Thomas and David) told him about this project. Lionel Newman receives "Special Thanks" in the end credits. - Harsher in Hindsight:
- It's bad enough this was released after the Challenger disaster.note One of the Blue Team's mission simulations ends with them burning up on re-entry. Think about that for a second.Andie: You're all dead because you didn't work together as a team. (to Kevin) And you're responsible.
Kevin: Me?!
Andie: That's right. You are shuttle commander, which means you are responsible for everything that happens on this ship!
Kevin: I didn't ask to be responsible, remember?
Andie: That's a pitiful excuse for killing six people.

- Retroactive Recognition:
- Disney fans may recognize Tate Donovan (Kevin), who played the title character in Hercules. Fans of The O.C. might recognize him as Jimmy Cooper.
- Max is played by a young Joaquin Phoenix in his second ever film role. Yes. The adorable little space nerd would later become an insane emperor, a sane emperor and an (arguably) even more insane supervillain-to-be.
- Spiritual Successor: 2013's Space Warriors is this to SpaceCamp (somewhat).
