NASA Astronaut Breaks Down Space Scenes From Film & TV

Rating: 4.0; Vote: 1
NASA astronaut Nicole Stott examines scenes depicting space from movies and television and breaks down how accurate they really are. What actually happens when your helmet cracks in space like in Total Recall? Are the spacewalks in Gravity realistic? Could there really be AI on a space station like in 2001: A Space Odyssey?

Love how she says -this is me in space! - I mean. if everyone that goes on a trip won't just shut up about their experiences in Bangladesh for months on end, who would expect astronauts to not say every once in a while -yeah, I was up there mate-?
Alsoooo.
The incident with depressurization that she mentioned was. I believe, something that happened in 1965 in a vacuum chamber. Dunno if it has happened again in space -- which would be arguably more dangerous due to other conditions. but he seemed to stay awake for about 15 minutes before passing out. They managed to repressurize him in about 27 seconds, and he lost the sense of taste for about 4 days. Other than that, he was okay as far as I've read. Again, he was not exactly exposed to everything harmful in space, so this doesn't take into account any kind of radiation, extreme cold, etc.

Some idiot opens up a restaurant by luck in a good spot and think they are geniuses to be revered. Then there are these actual geniuses who help create cures for diseases, help develop technology that saves lives, prevents or reverts heart's pollution, flight into space, command space crews, and are the most humble people you meet. What a world.

I could just imagine Gen Z in space taking orders on command.
-I don't appreciate microagressions commander! -
-Did you just misgender me! -
-It's ma'am, thank you very much! -
Forget space that type of interaction sounds ridiculous in any circumstance much less high pressure situations.

Why is it (in most movies) when astronauts are walking on the moon or another planet, they seem to be moving in slow motion? If a moon has no atmosphere and less gravity, isn't it safe to say there's less resistance against movement? Shouldn't people be able to move faster?

0: 23 helmet glass breaks
Me: waiting to hear logical explanation on helmet's glass rigidity flexiblity ratio or how the zero pressure environment would do to our face in reality
Nicole: suits and helmets are very durable.
Me: writing the comment & closing the tab gently

I thought Gravity was visually stunning, but many tech points which she didn't mention bothered me. It seemed like all the spacecraft (and debris clouds) were moving in the same orbit. And if the debris was also in orbit, why was it moving so much faster than the spacecraft?

-My issue with real astronaut missions is that we get this choppy VHS-quality video. When movies portray realistic scenes I can't accept it because it's displaying in a high resolution and higher frame rate. -

The man they show training the crew at the 11: 55 mark is Harry Humphreys. He was a SEAL who helped get SEAL Team 6 going. Now, he's a technical Advisor in Hollywood (think -Black Hawk Down' and '13 Hours')

I think it takes a special kind of person to find positive things in so obviously flawed film snippets and just disregard all the nonsencical stuf that she clearly sees and could talk about so much more.
reply

In gravity wouldn-t the space junk go to higher orbits after the first incident since it was traveling much faster than the astronauts? And then it would fall behind. Wouldn-t that happen?
