We're talking about a movie in which a space agency builds an enormous rocket entirely in secret and without any suppliers; then enrolls the astronaut at the head of the mission on the same day of the departure; and finally launches the rocket from inside its office halls. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

They obviously used the same contractors that Bond villains use to build super bases inside volcanoes without anyone noticing.
