The meteoroid is approaching Earth at approximately 35,000 miles per hour, and the film states that it will collide with Earth in a week. In reality, it would take at least six months to cover the distance from the asteroid belt to Earth's orbit.
Negotiations with Challenger 2 are being conducted in real time at mission control. In reality, it would take several minutes for signals to travel such a vast distance.
The spacecraft with astronauts that we see in the film is an actual model of NASA's first fully equipped space station, 'Skylab'.
The footage of the avalanche (skier in red) was taken from the 1978 film 'Avalanche'.
Some of the communication between mission control and 'Hercules' in the background is taken from recordings of actual conversations made during the 'Apollo' missions.
