I hate how ships "fly" in space. They glide and turn just like planes would in air and that's just not even close to accurate. I also hate how they seem to have to continue to burn their thrusters to go in a certain direction rather than a burst and then continue to float in that direction at a constant speed. Great example of this is the same scene from "Mission to Mars" where he pulls his helmet off and freezes. Just before that, his wife is trying to get to him with her jetpack but can't because "she won't have enough fuel to get back". She literally needs just enough fuel to go faster than he is (a quick burst will do). Then she will eventually catch up to him, can attach to him, then another quick burst back to the ship. That scene always annoyed me.

"I also hate how they seem to have to continue to burn their thrusters to go in a certain direction rather than a burst and then continue to float in that direction at a constant speed." Sometimes, this actually makes sense. "The Expanse" dealt with this correctly, when they made a 1G burn to the halfway point, performed a "flip and burn" to follow up with a 1G thrust in the opposite direction, thereby giving the ship occupants a 1G artificial gravity the entire trip. (Note: 1G would be about 9.8 meters per second square.)

My favorite Hollywood space trope is when the space habitat seal is broken, the air goes rushing out with the force of a category 5 hurricane. In reality it would drift out with all the force of a light summer breeze. The Expanse got this right, along with so much else.

Since there is no sound in space, I always kinda assumed the sounds we hear were from onboard the ship. When fired at or engaging engines and such were audio cues made by the ship to give the crew something to go by other than on screen info.

Great point! There’s no sound in space because there’s no air to carry it. The sounds in movies are added to help viewers understand what’s happening, like when ships fire or engines roar.

@@InsaneCuriosity For "Star Trek," Gene Roddenberry once admitted that they had once tried to portray the Enterprise's flight thru space realistically, with no sound effects. But he said the resulting scene was visually and emotionally dead; the audience would lose interest rapidly. So they had to "cheat" by creating artificial sound effects. He was right. The next time you watch a famous space battle from "Star Wars" or "Star Trek" or some other space production, turn off the sound on your TV or other device and see how boring the result is.

True, but I consider that "artistic license" rather than an inadvertent error. The producers know that most ordinary folks are familiar with airplanes dogfighting, so they try to create a battle scene that looks like that.

So when i hear boosters adjusting space capsules to dock with the iss in space, what I’m I hearing? is it the vibrations of the capsule itself?
@InsaneCuriosity

Yes. There's no air to carry sound in space, but the vibrations travel through the metal of the capsule, which is why you can hear them inside.

The scene in 2001 a Space Odyssey where the astronaut is in the space pod without his space helmet and position the space pod just outside the space ships entry port then opens the ships pod door and blows the space pod's door launching his non suited body into the space ship where he instantly hits the pressurize and close switch is said to be possible. There is total silence as the space pod's door blows and the astronaut is launched into the space ship. Then when he hits the pressurize switch there is instant loud noise as the space port is rapidly pressurized. I didn't think it was possible to be survivable and the person would function enough to make it work. I thought it meant sure death. I'd have to believe you wouldn't have much cognitive function and would have had to program yourself making use of the bare minimum of possible cognitive function to focus on hitting the pressurize switch no matter what was happening to your body and nervous system.

Yes but it's probably highly incorrect and I'm not wasting time for a google comment but a bod could do a good job in 40 minutes. The masses & inertia/momentum are almost-certainly wildly inaccurate. The air filling pod at STP maybe 20 kg and his body with suit maybe 90 kg. The large majority of air will go around his body & some is in front. If he was science educated he would have stood sideways towards the back. So as the air pushing him expanded into space it would have dropped from maybe 5 kg-force (50 newtons) accelerating his 90 kg down to zero. No point working it out because you need to study the movie scene details to get the actual force that I gave as 25 newtons average accelerating his 90 kg mass. Somebody study the film and calculate it for fun one day. I have to go, I'm busy.

4:52 Sound is an ideation produced in some semblance of a brain. Without an organism that has some neurons dedicated to receiving input signals that are translated by those neurons into an ideation we've come to call "sound," there is no sound. If a tree falls in a forest and no organism is there to feel it, does it produce tactile sensations? No, it requires a brain of some sort to create tactile sensations. There's matter and energy moving, but there is no tactile sensation because feeling the falling of a tree requires neurons to translate input signals into an ideation of tactile sensations.
