Explosions can happen in space, even though it's a fairly accepted thing that it's not possible, but do you know what there's not in space? Water. And weather.

So quite how Storm manages to freeze the holes in the side of the shuttle at the start of the mission to make it safer for Quicksilver and Nightcrawler to rescue the astronauts is anyone's guess. Clearly, you're just not supposed to ask.

33. A DUCT-TAPE SPACE SUIT?!

By this point in the mission, you shouldn't be questioning anything as impossible, because of the disregard for science, but it's still remarkable that to rescue the last stranded astronaut, Quicksilver literally constructs a spacesuit for Nightcrawler out of duct tape and a helmet.

Talk about your botch jobs. He would be dead. But just don't think about it, because duct tape is funny, isn't it? Right? RIGHT?
