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?

@@werrkowalski2985 Yeah, that's kinda true. But let's also remember how many years of dedication they put their individual efforts leading to that time in space, whether health-wise, fitness and accumulating knowledge of problem solving everything about anything in space.

​@S Anderson I disagree here because being balanced and working well under pressure is among the reasons that make most people proud and give them a feeling of deep pleasure or satisfaction as a result of their own achievements. The fact that this lady does not show this despite her over achievements is extremely rare and very commendable. Almost an impossibility for many with such skills.

MisterWealth you clearly didn’t listen to everything she said then. 1) she said the helmet likely wouldn’t crack like that, which is a fair assessment of the movie. So that’s what she decided to focus on because it was funny. 2) she noted that they had jet packs but that astronauts wouldn’t be using them to just fly around. They only used them in dire situations. The jet pack situation was about space walks and she took note of the situations in that movie that would be highly unlikely, like using the jet packs like that.

Not only that but the visual representation of a black hole is now the most scientifically accurate visualization of a black hole.

I love how she was able to enjoy the crazier representation of some of these and have a laugh. She looked at the possibilities and also talked about how they did it in such a way to for the viewer to understand even if it won't realistically happen (such as the passing the gas scene). In other videos like this, some just kinda took it a bit too seriously.

Not exactly. She said someone in mission control could do it. So it's not technically a SELF-destruct button. It's more of a "Quick, Destroy our Employees" button.

[@canyonblue737-8]

absolutely, and its been used several times on unmanned missions when the rocket goes out of control. the one time it was used on a manned mission is when the Space Shuttle Challenger blew up the solid rocket boosters (the long white ones) on each side of the external tank survived and flew out of control (you can see this in the explosion videos and the two arc away) and after about 30-45 seconds they became a threat so they were commanded to self destruct.

The guy she mentioned was exposed to vacuum for a significant amount of time- longer than the people you see in movies that instantly die. There's also been a similar event during testing where the suit tore and a large portion of his hand was exposed and ultimately ended up fine.

3:05 I think that big jetpack George Clooney was using was a reference to the Manned Maneuvering Unit (MMU), a large propulsion unit developed in 1984 for EVAs in the early days of the space shuttle. But it was discontinued after Challenger disaster as it was felt unnecessary with the development of better tether systems and cancellation of satellite contracts. That system was a really big jetpack like assembly, weighing more than 300 pounds (on earth), using enough nitrogen gas as propellant to support a 6 hour long untethered EVA, with a speed of 25m/s (55 miles per hour). That assembly was used probably for about 3 missions before it was retired, so it probably isn't much known.
