bullet::::- while working at the space suit company, jj pryor meets gus grissom, and they discuss the apollo 1 mission. grissom later says, "get me back to cape canaveral." in reality, the apollo 1 mission was not designated by that number or name until after the accident that claimed the lives of grissom and two other astronauts (at the time the mission was known as apollo/saturn 204), and the reference to cape canaveral would have been wrong, as the area where the space center was located had been renamed "cape kennedy" during the 1960s. while the town was officially renamed back to cape canaveral in 1973, the space center was (and still is) known as the kennedy space center, and at least three years had passed since the town was renamed from cape canaveral to cape kennedy; so although it is not impossible that in a casual conversation grissom would have used the traditional name, it is still unlikely that this would happen.
