[@MIchael-li7mq]

Lot of respect to the Pilots for staying where they were despite the dangers that were coming at them head on while trying to give everyone else enough time to get to safety. The look of sheer terror moments before that asteroid collided with the ship breaking the windows and seeing them get sucked out was terrifying seeing them fly past the other ship.

[@Celestial_Wing]

What did they do wrong?

[@WaveForceful]

They got sucked out like it was a plane. I'm sure that wouldnt actually happen in space because they are not flying through any matter really plus it's a 45psi difference and our bodies experience that every single day. i think the resosn why they would get sucked out if it was a plane because the speed of the plane through the air creates like a sucking vaccume effect on the planes hull, something that would not be present in space. Sure they would die but it would likely be from the space dust that rips them up.

[@Nocturnal85]

Actually it has to do with the release of the pressure inside the spaceship. It's one of the few things they got right in this movie. Once the windows are gone all of the pressure inside the spaceship drops to the same level of pressure as space which in outer space or near an asteroid like them would be basically zero. Once that happens the pressure change will cause the air to be sucked out into space.

[@WaveForceful]

@@Nocturnal85 But it's 45 psi. The Expanse does a better job at showing it. You could literally cover a hole with your hand. The space shuttle would have instantly shattered if it hit a rock at that speed.

[@pseudonymsarehard7189]

I think I read somewhere that NASA actually makes their employees watch Armageddon as an aptitude test to see how many instances of bad physics their employees can spot For a movie that tries to take itself seriously, Armageddon has some horrendously bad science.

I was 15 when this movie came out and remember seeing it at the cinema one weekend. It was great to see on the big screen that summer with the sound and everything. People mock me for liking the film but I think it's a great sci-fi action film you can sit back and just enjoy.

[@aileenmceleney]

My worse fear is being sucked out into space because it is so strong the vacuum of space

[@WaveForceful]

I dont think that woudl happen, there is no outside force or mass like air acting against the shuttle so they wouldnt get sucked out like it was a hull breach on a plane.

[@Nocturnal85]

The vacuum relates to the fact that space has no pressure and no atmosphere to speak of if your in a spaceship your like being in a coke can that is at the same pressure and air quality as at sea level on planet Earth so you can live inside your spaceship. We take our conditions with us. If a breach occurs like opening up that coke can I mentioned then all that pressure gets released taking the air with it. Once all of the air and pressure was released it would become calm again as the conditions of the ship would now be the same as outer space which is 0 pressure and 0 atmosphere. Hence why the pilot told the other guys to put there helmets on in the event they survive everything so they can breath. One of the few things they got right in this movie.

They fall to the ground, truth. But not "fast enough" (slowly). Remember with the gravity "on", they are very heavy, but when the gravity is "off" (zero gravity), the heavy objects "fall" (very slowly) while the light objects "float" in the zero gravity.

[@NatureismyHome-cu6zs]

And not one heat tile was damaged on the surviving shuttle...

[@scarecrow108productions7]

Keep in mind, these Special Ops USAF X-71 Shuttles are built entirely different than the IRL Rockwell STS Orbiters, that at least in my theory. My guess is that the X-71's Thermal Protection System isn't relying on "tiles" that are just glued onto the surface, but rather has heat-resistant materials built into the airframe like the bottom section, nose, and every leading edges of the wings and vertical stabilizers. So the X-71s can take a beating even in the smallest FODs in space, and its TPS structure would be still intact, good enough for reentry. As for X-71 Independence...the crew were unlucky, due to saturated detection readings of so many asteroid fragments in their radar that were too many to evade, and one fragment critically damaged the starboard OMS and rear RCS pod of the shuttle, which caused to do an uncommanded roll sinc they've lost control of the RCS in the aft starboard. I'd say, luck wasn't on their side all the time.

[@nopcshere6097]

The force of the decompression was stronger than their seat restraints. If you look closely you can see the straps on 1 seat break, and another pilot is sucked out while still in his chair. As for suits the pilots weren't using them because they were too bulky for the precision flying that would be needed to avoid debris, and would restrict the pilots' freedom of movement. You'll notice the Freedom pilots, Sharp & Watts, weren't suited up either.

[@charleshondonero2840]

What happened to independence? Did they overspeed acceleration and lost control?

[@nopcshere6097]

Their thrusters, used to control direction, were crippled by a piece of debris. The pilots could no longer control the shuttle's direction and being close enough to the asteroid surface, the gravity probably brought the shuttle down.

[@amcadam26]

Typical Ryanair landing!

[@GenScottMitchell]

Yea this scene is very touching but i really have to say and i hate it to say but they did a mistake because the pipes at 2:00 just fall on the ground but they are in a "room" with zero gravity so the pipes should not fall down like rocks that you throw on the ground...

[@Celyuz]

well... if you consider the Spin that the shuttle is haveing while "falling in to the asteroid" it's reasonable to think that some artificial grativy is been generated by the spin inside the cargo bay... thats why pipes and shit is "falling" inside the craft... not shure about the pattern of the "falling" pipes and shit but you know... science! and yes im actually watching this and replaing to you 4 years later :D

They did, watch the scene a couple times and you can see the straps break and one guy was pulled out with his seat

[@nopcshere6097]

They were strapped in. Like GhostJager says, you can see the straps break & the pilots are ripped from their seats and ejected through the windows. A fate worse than death. As for suits, my guess is that they weren't using them because they were too bulky for the precision flying that would be needed to dodge that debris, and suits would have impeded the pilots' freedom of movement.

[@jmc790]

@Bilal Khalid they would still be dead even if they wore suits. The straps the had ripped and they were sucked out anyways. Even someone else was sucked out with his suit on and strapped, and still died. The suits are too bulky for the pilots. Even Sharp and Watts didn't wear suits. You don't expect to crash, just think about it.

[@jmc790]

They were strapped but the straps broke due to the vacuum of space. Even one of the oils drillers (split second scene) with his suit on and strapped gets sucked out, and he was sitting behind the pilots. This is a scenario where you're lucky to survive. Only Bear, AJ and Lev survived. Bear got lucky, and AJ & Lev went into the cargo bay in time.
