Default One very strange graphic

How many things can you find wrong in this picture?:

1) The "hypothetical 3-man Vostok" wasn't hypothetical.
It was called "Voskhod" and was the same size as the
Vostok spacecraft.

2) The Soyuz 19 was crewed with two cosmonauts only

3) Soyuz cosmonauts should sit in the descent module,
not in the orbital module
(maybe no mistake, but poor drawing?)

4) The thrust of the Soyuz rocket wasn't 223500 kN,
but 223500 lbs = 994 kN

5) The thrust of the Saturn V wasn't 34.000.000 MN,
but "only" 34 MN

6) ASTP wasn't launched by Saturn V, but by Saturn-IB
(maybe no fault, just ASTP and Saturn V given as
unrelated examples?)

7) The Soyuz descent module isn't spherical
and does no ballistic re-entry
(only in case of malfunction)

Anything else?
