Independence Day - Moonquake
In the beginning of the film the giant mother-ship passes closely to the moon. The tremendous noise and vibration of the ship makes the ground shake on the moon. (This is illustrated by a close-up on the moon-surface where we can se an astronauts footprint being erased by the moonquake). This is a Slip-Up since neither sound nor vibration can travel through the vacuum of empty space.

Sound waves can't travel through a vacuum, but who says that the moonquake is caused by sound waves?? It is possible that the giant alien ship is generating gravity waves (maybe as part of its propulsion system???) which will cause the moon to vibrate. Gravity waves CAN travel through a vacuum. This is NOT a valid slip-up.
