  1. That is actually the part of the movie that (sort of) makes sense. It is not enough to get where the asteroid is at the right time. You need to match speeds with it to land. The lowest delta-v way to do that is to do something similar to an Apollo 13 style free return hyperbola around the Moon so you're going the same direction as the asteroid, THEN match speeds (provided you have enough time and the Moon is in the right place). Also, obviously the US shuttle and the Russian space station were obviously more advanced (then-near-future) models than the ones actually orbiting above the theaters.
