    Here’s a true color photo of the milky way, boosted only in brightness by a long exposure.

    There’s some evidence that a pressurized air tank and a space suit providing only mechanical body compression with some kind of elastic could keep you alive and conscious in the vacuum of outer space for a while.

    The biggest questions when it comes to this issue are:

    How many monkeys have we thrown out airlocks to see what actually happens? And if it's less then a lot, for the love of god why?

    This shit is important, let's space some simians.

    Yeah like, you aren't going to get that beautiful pink and green horsehead nebula, but shit is still striking, with a trillion points of light all glowing in a giant spiral with wispy clouds of matter forming spindly details. It's all still very pretty.

    The universe is pretty full of colours, though it is also very vast and light is dim.

    An unaided human in space would see just about what you see in the desert, with a bit more resolution in the milky way and less twinkling (which is predominately an atmospheric effect)

    You need to get close to see anything without a telescope.

    Stars are pretty much coloured by their heat (hotter is bluer)

    nebulae would be pretty much invisible up close

    It's considerate of the thousand years old rags she's wearing to show a bunch of skin but manage to hold together enough to avoid the movie having an R rating

    This reminded me of the most recent NOVA episode that aired last week about black holes: https://www.pbs.org/video/black-hole-apocalypse-yj34qi/

    In part of the episode they went over some of the methods used to get these better images, and why those methods were important to eventually finding black holes.

    this is absolutely one of the kinds of movies where listing the good things takes very little time and the griveous flaws take very very long

    tom cruise's pal as a zombie was kind of neat actually, like as a character.

    oh none


    ...you used pressure tanks. And more dogs than chimps! Chimps are expensive.

    The answer is "a lot".

    What happened was retching, defecation, violent decompression sickness, often death

    Considering how microgravity causes blood to concentrate on your core/head, sex in space seems tricky for men

    is it possible to get far enough away from any massive body where there are zero gravitational forces, as opposed to them just being negligible? like, something a thousandth of a gram wouldn't be attracted in any particular direction

    Once you ejaculate in space, it keeps going until it hits something. That can be a ship, or the planet behind that ship. It might go off into deep space and hit somebody else in ten thousand years.

    IIRC gravity doesn't have a limit, it just gets smaller and smaller the father away you are.

    So with a sufficiently accurate sensor you'll always detect gravity.

    fuck up once and you break your thumb / if you're happy at all then you're god damn dumb

    If your butt was full of farts all the farts would come out.

    If the cramps you get when ascending while scuba diving are any indication, I cannot even imagine the fart expansion.

    One time I ate a huge amount of mexican food and went for a 45 minute dive, going as deep as 30 meters, right as I was digesting. The farts. My god the farts. Talk about explosive decompression. I had to completely empty my buoyancy vest to stay underwater.

    I just said "oh no" out loud to myself as I read that

    i did this all the time on the cozumel vacation, didn't have the same issues, fortunately.

    ‘Just call me first thing in the morning to make sure it’s still ok’

    So I’m on Imodium and tiny little slivers of bread and Powerade zero

    If I get fucked when I call in tomorrow I am gonna be sad
