Remember, this movie came out before the moon landing. You have to pretend that the most advanced technologies you have ever interacted with are a television that gets 6 channels and a land line telephone. You have never seen a computer in person or known anyone who has used one. You know we're going to the moon, but have only seen rockets in photos or 10 second clips on TV. You don't know anything about satellites, space stations or orbital mechanics. The only math and physics you know are the bare minimum necessary to do your job. The music you listen too is either classical, jazz or rock'n'roll.
Then, you see this movie. It has to go slow for you to be able to follow it. Not because you're stupid, but because you have zero experience of any of the things going on in it.
