    Quite badly made, really dated and incredibly cheesy. A childhood favourite. I want a Jinx!

    A bunch of kids on a tour of a space centre are accidentally shot into space. Happens all the time apparently; you can't launch a rocket without having to plough through all the floating toddlers. The result is a teeny bop version of Apollo 13. But rather less pompous and boring.

    Pure Science Fiction Cheese. But one of the better family night cheese space films out there. Cheesily humorous and exceptionally family oriented, i would recommend this for any family who enjoys looking at the stars on a clear night.

    I watched this movie on VHS when I first seen it. Today I have seen it on DVD.I still like this movie. It reminds me of a time when all I could dream about was going into space..
    A favorite of mine. In a way it is a bit cheese with the no gravity effect. But still its a good wat...( read more)ch ..even if you never got to fly the space shuttle..

    I never saw it in the 80's. It actually held up quite well. Light and suitable for the whole family. See a very young Joauin (Leaf) Phoenix, a much younger Kelly Preston and of course a staple in 80's movies, Lea Thompson.
