“Ad Astra” started off rather promising, but I quickly realized it was all for show with no basis in real physics. Why would you put the massive antenna array at the top of a multi-mile high tower (assuming you want to be out of Earth’s atmosphere?) when you could just as easily locate it on the Moon or Mars, both of which are inhabited. But it makes for a great visual shot.
Many times rockets are shown with with engines under power while the passengers seem to be experiencing zero G.
Why astronauts are carrying ballistic guns during liftoff.
Why a spaceship is designed with a canister of highly toxic gas under pressure present in the living space.
Why the crew decided this launch to forgo wearing their helmets, which left them vulnerable to the aforementioned highly toxic gas.
Is driving thousands of miles (heck, even hundreds of miles would be nuts) in moon buggies really the best way to get from the near side to the far side of the moon?
Your moon buggy goes flying over the edge of a crater and you manage to stay upright and land like a drop of hundreds of meters is no big deal, because the Moon’s gravity is less than Earth. Okay.
I need to stop now. I wonder what Neil deGrasse Tyson thought of it?
