* [[Eagle Land]]: Unapologetically.

* [[Embarrassing Middle Name]]: Virgil Ivan "Gus" Grissom. Not only was his first name ''personally'' [[Do Not Call Me Paul|embarrassing]], but his middle name would have been a propaganda embarrassment. This IS the Cold War Space Race, after all.

* [[Fauxlosophic Narration]]: The beginning narration, which poetically describes the sound barrier as a "demon that lives in the air."

* [[Fee Fi Faux Pas]]: "I bet you're gonna hang our picture on your wall."

* [[Insistent Terminology]]: That... is a ''spacecraft''. We do not refer to it as a "capsule." It's a ''spacecraft''. Similarly, the astronauts are not "occupants" of the spacecraft, but ''pilots''.

* [[Lethally Expensive]]: While the two White House staffers are showing the film of the Soviet space program.

'''White House Staffer #2:''' ''Very'' great.<br />

'''White House Staffer #1:''' We're fortunate this material didn't perish... with a couple of men. }}
