The OGT launch rail has the control building directly in front of it. Thats silly, thinks I (who is a bear of very little brain). If there's another malfunction, the OGT will most likely crash into the launch control building. Oh well. The OGT launch goes wrong, and the emergency clamps swing into position to block the plane. These emergency clamps are two tiny satellite dishes.Thats silly, thinks I (who is a bear of very little brain). Those 'emergency clamps' couldn't hold back a dead frog. And, sure enough, the OGT crashes over the emergency clamps, swings down to the ground and lands on the launch control building. Who knew THAT was going to happen?
Yet another "Uncle" pops up for Joe--Uncle Brad Johnson, head of the OGT project.
They show three men operating the console in addition to Dr. Slade, but only two of them were visible in the escape capsule.
Why was Shane Weston talking about the impossibility of finding one man with the two necessary skills? It wouldn't have been the first time that Joe was given two separate brain patterns at the same time.
They've really improved the remote brain pattern recorder--much more unobtrusive.
It sounded rather odd that, while Sam Loover addressed Brad Johnson in formal terms, Johnson addressed Sam by his first name. Seemed overly familiar to me.
Perhaps someday it will occur to Joe to leave his radio transmitter on, so that Sam and Mac can be aware of the situation.
Why didn't Dr. Slade destroy the computer readouts immediately?
How did a nine-year-old boy manage to drag an unconcious man into the escape capsule, let alone lift him up and fasten him into the restraints?

It was circular, he was probably in there out of shot.
I watched this one again last night. If you look closely at the curve of the floor in the capsule, it's clear that there is no hidden space--the walls come right to the edges of the door. In fact, it looks like a very shallow semi-circle, which is a nit. The long shots of the capsule show it as cylindrical.
Whoever designed those so-called "emergency clamps" should be fired. The nose of the vehicle knocked them back before they could even try to get a grip on anything.
I liked the shots of Sam and Mac outside, with their hair being tossed by the wind.
I also liked where Sam said, "Come on, let's go," but Mac remained still, staring at his son's potential crematorium.
