Kowalski mentions landing at Edwards, a reference to Edwards Air Force Base in California. It was the primary landing site for all shuttle missions until 1991, then a reserve landing site until the Space Shuttle program ended in 2011.

At the end of the movie when Ryan blows the hatch of the Chinese capsule the hatch opening can be seen to be well above the water line. But as soon as it blows the capsule starts filling with water.

When Stone removes her spacesuit it is missing two parts, one of them being the Liquid Cooling & Ventilation Garment. The LCVG is what keeps astronauts from overheating and cannot be left out. It also deals with sweat. Without it Stone would risk a heat stroke. She'd also be soaking wet considering her extreme exertion earlier in the movie. We see none of that.

Q
How did the filmmakers do the scene where Stone sheds her suit in the airlock?
A
Sandra Bullock sat on a rig with a bicycle seat and had her right leg strapped into a two-part brace inside a specially-made chamber. She then mimed movements that were carefully choreographed and a camera rig was rotated slowly to create the illusion of her's and the ISS's rotation. Lights were also placed in strategic spots to capture the shining of the sun in the window. In post-production, Bullock's right leg and the braces were erased completely and her bare leg was recreated with CGI. In the special features of the DVD and blu-ray editions of the movie there's a short documentary showing how this effect was created. Director Alfonso Cuaron himself says that the image was specifically designed this way to make Stone look like an in-utero child, hence her body's position & the positioning of the hoses in the background suggesting umbilical cords.
Q
Does the machine Kowalski uses for spacewalking really exist?
A
The MMU (Manned Maneuvering Unit) was used by American astronauts during the mid 1980's, but it is not currently being used. Dialogue in the film indicates that Kowalski is using a fictional, new, presumably more fuel-efficient version of the MMU. It's also possible that it's more technologically advanced in a fictional sense.
