I know it's a few weeks fashionably late but I just came across this article from PopularScience were Neil DeGrasse Tyson (pictured above looking stlyin') went on Twitter after seeing the "movie" and proceeded to rip it a new one.......only to wrap up with the ever so shifty "I still enjoyed it" or some BS (I paraphrased that quote BTW). Continue reading for NERDY information on EXACTLY how inaccurate (scientifically) a movie is....who woulda thought that works of fiction were fake?
Disclaimer:
I'm sure that most of this is taken wayyyy out of context, however it is still fun to pretend...
"Mysteries of : Why Bullock, a medical Doctor, is servicing the Hubble Space Telescope." <-----PLOT HOLE like a Mo-FO
"Mysteries of : Nearly all satellites orbit Earth west to east yet all satellite debris portrayed orbited east to west"
"The film should be renamed "Zero Gravity"."
"Mysteries of : Why Bullock's hair, in otherwise convincing zero-G scenes, did not float freely on her head."
"Mysteries of : Satellite communications were disrupted at 230 mi up, but communications satellites orbit 100x higher."
"Mysteries of : Why we enjoy a SciFi film set in make-believe space more than we enjoy actual people set in real space" ( A sad realization.....)
"Mysteries of : How Hubble (350mi up) ISS (230mi up) & a Chinese Space Station are all in sight lines of one another."
and..... to Wrap it up, the ever so classy butt-cover tactic:
"My Tweets hardly ever convey opinion. Mostly perspectives on the world. But if you must know, I enjoyed very much."
