NASA Astronaut Breaks Down Space Scenes From Film & TV | WIRED
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? Also,…

I’m sorry but she’s a really attractive gilf. I’d definitely smash.

I hated her character (Bullock’s). She shouldn’t have been 3 feet off the ground.

What about all the pebbles moving through space and thousands of miles per hour.Do they worry about that, that never comes up.there’s so much junk floating in space it’s hard to believe they’re even doing anything up there.

Oh, wow. Another expert to tell me that what I see in movies is not real. Really? Why not get a pilot to tell everyone Superman cannot fly? Or police to say Batman would go to prison for some of the things he did.

Yeah obviously they’re reviewing fictional movies but they can still describe which aspect is close to reality or which is fictitious.

Actually, they did some tests of water in a vaccum before. The water will boil out rapidly, which will cause cooling. So, about 20% of the water boils off in about 30 seconds, the rest of the water has lost enough energy to freeze at that point. Hands have skin to keep it in and slow it… your head has giant wet holes. So, it might actually happen quickly.

on the multiaxis trainer, would it be completely different in space since there’s no significant source of gravity that’ll keep shifting the fluid in your eardrums towards the ground while you spin around 360? would the only influence then be the outward centrifugal force? would it be more or less disorienting without the influence of gravity? i dry-heaved for about 10 minutes after doing that simulator at Vancouver’s Expo ’86 while i have absolutely no problems with a centripetal ride like Gravitron or freefalling during skydrives, and i don’t get as easily disoriented when being spun on a chair or with my forehead to a baseball bat… my assumptions would be that it’s actually less disorienting spinning randomly in space because there’s no gravity, so there’s no additional chaotic force pulling you everywhich way.

One thing I wish she would have said in reference to the hull breach thing, is that while it totally is true that things will get sucked towards the hole, and sure, if it were big enough it could suck a person out of the ship or the station, but it would be NOTHING like what happens in Aliens III. The difference between normal atmospheric pressure and the vacuum of space is only 14.7 PSI (1 atmosphere of pressure). The tires on your car are probably pressurized at more than double that. Great movie and great scene, but not anywhere near accurate.

I’m surprised she didn’t say anything about getting sucked out into space through a tiny hole… if it was small enough you could temporarily plug it with your hand and be totally fine

I looked up her history and she flew on both STS-128 and STS-129 which were only a few months apart. Considering how long astronauts wait for a space mission i assume she didnt get 2 in a row, does this mean she flew up on one and down on another?

Did she really just talk about the helmet’s visor breaking? And NOT the effect of a vacuum on the individual?…seriously?

Your field of view does increase as you reach closer and closer to the speed of light. That’s what the “stretch” is supposed to imitate.

When Sandra went spinning away in Gravity, it sent my anxiety through the roof.
Like, on the verge of a panic attack, levels of through the roof.

She’s a brilliant career and also she is just the sweetest woman alive! You chose just the right expert to break down those scenes.

The thing she said at 16:25 is actually really interesting, because I’ve noticed that even with cars(to a WAYYYY lesser extent) when someone is driving you feel the stops/movements of the car more than if you’re the one driving it.
Escalate that +200 to a spacecraft/ship XD

I like how they never included “The Martian”. Neil Degrass Tysone said that was one of the most realistic movies out there.

ah Gravity. where to even begin with all the inaccuracies in that movie. best fan theory i ever heard was that all of the events portrayed after the first few minutes is fantasy playing out in the main character’s head as she suffocates.
