The launch on May 15, 1963 of "Gordo" Cooper, is portrayed in the film by what looks like a Mercury Redstone launch vehicle, when this was only used for the first 2 (non-orbital) Mercury missions (and some non-manned tests). This mission actually used the Atlas LV-3B launch vehicle which looks quite different. However, the footage used shows indeed the Atlas rocket. The confusing white color of the rocket is not paint though but ice, formed on the rocket's surface once it was filled with an extremely cold liquid oxygen shortly before take off.
