Everything that involved space travel.
The description of the spaceship leaving a rotating dock. The idea that the US has a region of space it claims as its own and must 'patrol' to maintain sovereignty. The idea that a spaceship could hide optically by having a load of cameras and emitters. The idea that a spaceship could hide in the infra-red by careful management of heat (it's hard for a spaceship to not be warmer than background of 3K.) The idea that you can recover energy from waste heat. Innumerable bits of zero gravity and/or acceleration rubbish, e.g. the idea that there was no problem while getting 'gravity' from being on a ship attached to a rotating spacestation, but that being on a steadily accelerating ship under way might cause motion sickness.
So many, many things. It was just all too much.
