I love these types of videos from Insider and Wired. Nicole Stott did another one for wired and it was fantastic. I could listen to her talk all day. You need more of her.
@@chuckh4077Both, but Event Horizon's first scenes were already questionable. I was hoping The Expanse was on here. Especially after mentioning high G's in space and how they deal with that in The Expanse series.
My wife and kids met her at a local event a couple of months ago while I was out of town. They bought her book for me and she signed it. I haven’t read it yet though. My wife says she was super cool and nice to the kids.
For the ones who haven't seen Guardians of the Galaxy. The only reason why he didn't die when his face froze up is because (Peter Quill) is only half human. The other part is "Celestial" (super human abilities/almost god like)
IMO; probably the best “How Real is It?” video that Insider has done. Some of the experts they bring in mix in their opinions while making it seem like facts and although they are mostly right, there is room for other experts to contradict those experts (and sometimes they do,) this is the most accurate expert they have ever had. She’s all facts and it coincides with all of the other astronauts experience as well. MORE ASTRONAUTS PLEASE!!! 🚀
I watched "Apollo 13" in the theatre when it first came out. When I came out of the theatre, I thought, "Hang on, that wasn't a real space mission - that was a movie! I wonder how they did it?" I found out later that they used the Vomit Comet for a lot of the zero gravity scenes. I enjoyed the movie so much that I went back that evening to see it again in the evening showing, and a couple of days later, I took my young nephew to see it. It remains one of my top favourite movies to this day.
The First Man footage… Using the real footage was incredible - and made possible because NASA put *AMAZINGLY* high quality cameras and film on/in the Saturn V to record every possible (with the technology of the day) angle for study later. Notably, the footage of the ring dropping away - the film canister for that camera was then dropped away a few moments later, and made to survive reentry, to be caught by a waiting ship in the ocean. There was no live video downlink like SpaceX has with their modern systems.
Fun fact: NASA's own research (on dogs, chimps and one unfortunate technician named Jim Le Blanc) tells us that even a normal human would _probably_ recover mostly unharmed after 1-2 minutes in vacuum, albeit _not_ immediately. And of course Peter Quill is :). (great video though, fun to hear about this stuff from someone that actually did it)
I don’t know much about space, but I AM an experienced water and sewage treatment engineer. I’ve rated scenes in 3 films. In “Batman Begins”, if they poked a hole in a water main, there would have been a geyser that flooded the basement, drowning all the bad guys. In “Shawshank Redemption”, the opposite would have been true. When he poked a hole in a non pressurized sewage line, there would NOT have been a geyser. Finally, “Finding Nemo”. Nemo would have been shredded going through the treatment plant.
My memory of it needs to be refreshed some myself, but how do you feel about how things were in The Dark Knight Rises? Bane was sorta in the sewers in some fashion, and you had things like the "follow him" scene where Commissioner Gordon got washed down the pipes so to speak. I was also a little confused by the area that Bane and Batman fight in, why it looked like that, the purpose of it and such. Was it some kind of cistern that just wasn't (remotely) full?
Part of the Multi-Axis test was for if a thruster bank malfunctioned (as it did on early Apollo missions) or the system went haywire and begun spinning you in all directions, you'd be able to function and hopefully properly assess your problem and trouble-shoot.
23:18 "Don't open that! It's an alien planet! Is there AIR!? YOU DON'T KNOW!!" ... still is, hands down, one of the best - and scientifically accurate - lines in the history of all sci-fi media.
I read an article where a reporter got to use the simulator for the MMU. They first put him, I think, 300 yards from the shuttle, but with no orbital mechanics. Just flat free fall. That wasn't too difficult. Then they turned on orbital mechanics. Of course, he ended up nowhere near the shuttle. Even a few hundred yards, it make a huge difference.
Awesome, she mentioned rocketman. Love that movie, I was hoping she'd review it. Even though she didn't review it, it's even better that she said she loved it, and galaxy quest
About interstellar as "experience Kerbal pilot" I can say, the likelyhood the stations spins exactly with the center of the airlock in the center of the rotation is basically zero.. if you cant bring the other vehicle to stop spinning by itself, its basically lost.
“If you go outside without your helmet on it’s going to be a pretty quick transition to….. not being in a great condition.” The most eloquent way to say “you’re dead”, ever.
What amazed me the most about Interstellar is the inclusion of time dilation. It's a very real thing when you're dealing with immense gravitational forces, usually associated with black holes. Depending on how close you get to it time for you will go by much slower than it does for someone who's farther away from it. Black holes are so strong time just break downs the closer you get to it. It's so bad that to an outside body once you reach the event horizon it'll look like you're standing still. In reality you're already long gone. As far as we know they are the most extreme force in the universe.
i think that's the biggest problem with that movie, the main character seems completely oblivious to very basic principles (of course that's because the audience is ignorant of them) then again maybe it simply depicts a near future NASA budget where basic training isnt affordable.
12:00 On thing I noticed is that they used dust clouds coming off the tires in atmosphere (not sure how much of it was IRL vs CGI). Since the moon has no atmosphere, the dust coming off the tires doesn't billow, spread as much, or slow down like it does in the clip.
First Man is a frightening bit of a story. It basically paints that mission as a broken man signing up for a low chance of survival mission because of his personal grief. Would love to get some psych on that.
5:50 a very small amount of damage to the Shuttle Columbia heat shield on the wing is why it fell apart during re entry.. despite nasa knowing foam from the fuel tank had damaged it during take off.. my friend lost his father bc of their negligence
I expected a 9/10 because of the over-the-top acting and at times unprofessional behavior by the astronauts. But for technical details it's 10/10 obviously, as this literally happened.
I love how in the 1st guardians they just have him freeze alittle & then scientists were criticizing it so in the 3rd one they added some swelling & discoloration (like radiation poisoning)
The one detail missed with Star Lord is him being half Celestial, which is obviously a departure from reality but also a big factor in his physiology and recovery.
So disappointing that the guest did not debunk the whole freezing in the vacuum of space thing, all of the fluids on the surface of your body would actually boil away, because boiling doesn't have to be from temperature, it can also be from lack of pressure. And vacuum is actually a great insulator, which means that your body would cool extremely slowly, only by radiating heat away, there is nothing to conduct or convect heat away. It would have been really great to have the Guardians 3 clip be followed by the scene in the expanse where a person intentionally does a hard vacuum Transit from one spacecraft to another and barely manages to survive, because it portrays everything extremely accurately
Man, that editing at 20:18 was no bueno. That wasn't the 3rd stage lighting, it was the 2nd S-II stage, after the first stage (S-IC) was jettisoned. The ring coming off was the skirt that protected the 5 J2 engines from staging. The 3rd stage would have been the S-IVB, after they were already going horizontal
In episode 2F09 when Itchy plays Scratchy’s skeleton like a xylophone, he strikes the same rib twice in succession, yet he produces two clearly different tones. I mean, what are we to believe, that this is some sort of a magic xylophone or something? Boy, I really hope somebody got fired for that blunder.
If you do another of these I'd love to see an astronaut react to Marooned (1969) Moonraker (1979) Starflight: The Plane That Couldn't Land (1983) Capricorn One (1977) Apollo 18 (2011) Moontrap (1988) Space Cowboys (2000) For All Mankind (TV Series 2019-) 2010: The Year We Make Contact (1984) Space Brothers (TV Series 2012-2014) Outland (1981) Journey to the Far Side of the Sun (1969) Moon Zero Two (1969) Life (2017)
In the case of Galaxy Quest, its not the interaction of astronauts that we see on screen. Its the interaction of actors forced to be astronauts that we see.
She forgot to point out that in Passengers, even if the ship lost power, it will continue spinning. A ship that size would take a great amount of reverse thrust to stop it from moving.
@@Moonlight-rz6tv Well, in this case, we are not wrong. It's Newtons' first law of motion. Among the most widely known and basic laws of physics there is. If you went to school at all, you should know it. I'm quite sure this astronaut knows it, she just overlooked to comment on it.
There's one important aspect they miss out in space movies (except for Apollo 13): the use of checklists before starting a procedure. Digital or paper checklists are very-very necessary to prevent forgetting a step, and to alert to you cautions and warnings "before" starting-up, shutting-down, taking-off, landing, operating or manipulating any system. Airline pilots use checklists during every flight... so do astronauts.
16:03 Isn't that Scott Glenn? 16:30 Isn't that Dennis Quaid? 16:36 Isn't that Lance Henriksen? And so on... a lot of famous actors in a movie I haven't heard about 😁
22:45 wouldn’t the water hammer effect injure or kill her instantly in this case? If smacking the top of a glass bottle can blow the bottom out, then what would realistically happen to her in this situation?
I guess it depends on where exactly she is located in the event and the exact acceleration. If she were near the pools floor, then the water would likely squish her. But I think she is floating in the middle of the bubble of water in this scene, so she might not hit any hard surface and get hurt that way. Then again, the water could probably get up to really high pressure for a short moment, no? Might not be deadly, but could certainly hurt any soft tissue like eyes, eardrums and such. Best analogy: imagine swimming in a pool, then suddenly a truckload of water is being dropped on top your head. Fun? But hey, weightless diving sounds cool. Swimming is probably less fun, because the water would always stick to your face and try to suffocate you.
HEere are some more underrated space movies which often gets overlooked like; 2010 THE YEAR WE MADE CONTACT. CAPRICORN ONE. CONTACT. EVENT HORIZON. LIFE. LIFEFORCE. LOST IN SPACE. MAROONED. THE MARTIAN. MISSION TO MARS. RED PLANET. SOLARIS. SUNSHINE. WALL-E.
2010 did a good job depicting hard space science, within the tech limitations of an 80s movie. Like the aerobraking scene being quite plausible. And the spacewalk sequence is an all-time classic.
The pressure inside of that spacecraft was 1 atmosphere and as it has been experimentally proven, there is absolutely no way 1ATM pressure would destroy that airlock
Regarding that rover. After playing ungodly amounts of Mass effect, I'm very confident I have mastered the skills to drive one of those. I was very good at flipping them over :P
AFAIK spaceships do not have special engines or engine controls for rotating the ship around arbitray axes. Although it its possible to use the engines to exert a torque it would be nearly impossible to rotate the ship around one specific axis (the docking system) manually and even harder to do these kind of corrections shown in the movie as each thrust of an single engine would change everything: translation speed, rotation speed and axis. And most axis of rotation are simply unstable: Even if your ship rotates around the right axis for a moment it starts to tumble by itself. So I think docking to a fast rotating station is just possible with a computer controlled, fully automatic docking system. But these days also modern jets are aerodynamic unstable and need constant computer thrust corrections to not fall from the sky. So this might be possible, but not in a makeshift way as shown in "Interstellar", it would take engineers years to work it out.
My favorite was Armageddon when they said "get the halon!" As the station burned. Halo works by removing the O2 from the area killing the fire... why would you have that on a space craft
Heavy on the brains and beauty. She’s simply divine. I’ve met her on a couple occasions over the past few years. Definitely an astronaut I’d recommend meeting.
I hate how a lot of media portrays how humans exposed to the vacuum of space are affected and how long till death. Generally they don’t take into consideration pressure changes and thermodynamics. In fact if you were exposed to the vacuum you would actually start heating up fast instead of cooling down. The chemical processes in the body are still happening which creates heat energy but since the body is in a vacuum the heat has no where to go essentially making your body one big heat insulator. Freezing only sets in after a couple of hours/ days after death and after the body’s chemical processes have slowed down or completely stopped. On top of that the bloating and expansion of the body is dependent on the change in pressure. You can absolutely buy time for an individual in the vacuum of space if you slowly lowered the pressure in the airlock to a suitable level and then exposed them to a vacuum.
What she says about the heatshield and friction is ok, but there is more to it. The heat is not an unavoidable danger, it's an asset. If you want to land an orbiting object, you just have to decelerate it. On the moon, with no atmosphere, you would use rocket fuel which is very expensive to transport from the Earth up. But on the Earth we have a free way to decelerate : the atmosphere. What the capsule does is it maximizes the way it uses air to decelerate without having to consume precious fuel. It's not really friction that makes the capsule heating : at these enormous speed, the pressure of the air on the heatshield makes the air heating : not the friction, the pressure (when you compress a gaz, it's getting hotter : ideal gas law PV=nRT). The air gets so hot that it becomes a plasma : the air never touches the heatshield. The trick is : you exchange kinetic energy with heat energy that you dump into the atmosphere. For this to happen, you have to have a heatshield which stops the heat energy to go into your spacecraft, wasting this p^recious decelerating energy. And it has a nice side effect : it protects the astronauts !
After years of watching these videos, to get two 10/10 comments is awesome. She was fun to listen to, get this lady more often!
3. Apollo 13, The Right Stuff and First Man
An astronaut that lists Galaxy Quest as a favorite movie? Completely unexpected. And Awesome!
I mean, I heard one astronaut interview (forget who it was) where they went with Talladega Nights. Astronauts like comedy too!
Its like when military submariners love the comedy Down Periscope.

No. Flash Gordon
I don’t know much about space, but I AM an experienced water and sewage treatment engineer. I’ve rated scenes in 3 films. In “Batman Begins”, if they poked a hole in a water main, there would have been a geyser that flooded the basement, drowning all the bad guys. In “Shawshank Redemption”, the opposite would have been true. When he poked a hole in a non pressurized sewage line, there would NOT have been a geyser. Finally, “Finding Nemo”. Nemo would have been shredded going through the treatment plant.
My memory of it needs to be refreshed some myself, but how do you feel about how things were in The Dark Knight Rises? Bane was sorta in the sewers in some fashion, and you had things like the "follow him" scene where Commissioner Gordon got washed down the pipes so to speak.

22:45 wouldn’t the water hammer effect injure or kill her instantly in this case? If smacking the top of a glass bottle can blow the bottom out, then what would realistically happen to her in this situation?
I guess it depends on where exactly she is located in the event and the exact acceleration. If she were near the pools floor, then the water would likely squish her. But I think she is floating in the middle of the bubble of water in this scene, so she might not hit any hard surface and get hurt that way. Then again, the water could probably get up to really high pressure for a short moment, no? Might not be deadly, but could certainly hurt any soft tissue like eyes, eardrums and such.
Best analogy: imagine swimming in a pool, then suddenly a truckload of water is being dropped on top your head. Fun?
But hey, weightless diving sounds cool. Swimming is probably less fun, because the water would always stick to your face and try to suffocate you.
HEere are some more underrated space movies which often gets overlooked like;
2010 THE YEAR WE MADE CONTACT.
CAPRICORN ONE.
CONTACT.
EVENT HORIZON.
LIFE.
LIFEFORCE.
LOST IN SPACE.
MAROONED.
THE MARTIAN.
MISSION TO MARS.
RED PLANET.
SOLARIS.
SUNSHINE.
WALL-E.
THE EXPANSE. Best space sci fi show ever.
Expanse
2010 did a good job depicting hard space science, within the tech limitations of an 80s movie. Like the aerobraking scene being quite plausible. And the spacewalk sequence is an all-time classic.
WALLE? The Martian? I wouldn't call some f the movies in your list as underrated .
Moon (2009) Sam Rockwell.
giving interstellar docking scene 7/10 is a crime.
It's according to realism
The pressure inside of that spacecraft was 1 atmosphere and as it has been experimentally proven, there is absolutely no way 1ATM pressure would destroy that airlock
What an interesting lady. I could listen to her expounding on the tribulations of working in space all day long.
As a RUclips commentary, ill rate all the comments on how entertaining they are.
Regarding that rover. After playing ungodly amounts of Mass effect, I'm very confident I have mastered the skills to drive one of those. I was very good at flipping them over :P
AFAIK spaceships do not have special engines or engine controls for rotating the ship around arbitray axes. Although it its possible to use the engines to exert a torque it would be nearly impossible to rotate the ship around one specific axis (the docking system) manually and even harder to do these kind of corrections shown in the movie as each thrust of an single engine would change everything: translation speed, rotation speed and axis. And most axis of rotation are simply unstable: Even if your ship rotates around the right axis for a moment it starts to tumble by itself.
So I think docking to a fast rotating station is just possible with a computer controlled, fully automatic docking system. But these days also modern jets are aerodynamic unstable and need constant computer thrust corrections to not fall from the sky. So this might be possible, but not in a makeshift way as shown in "Interstellar", it would take engineers years to work it out.
My favorite was Armageddon when they said "get the halon!" As the station burned. Halo works by removing the O2 from the area killing the fire... why would you have that on a space craft
Halon works by stopping the chemical reaction. CO2 is used to displace oxygen.
May the force be with you
What an amazing woman. Great insights.
THE RIGHT STUFF is one of the best astronaut-based movies ever made.
Gonna watch Sunshine tomorrow, would love to see if they got anything accurate.
Im surprised she didn't mention Gemini 8, when talking about recovering from a spin. That was an actual near fatal incident involving exactly that.
She has always been so smart and pretty too.
Heavy on the brains and beauty. She’s simply divine. I’ve met her on a couple occasions over the past few years. Definitely an astronaut I’d recommend meeting.
I hate how a lot of media portrays how humans exposed to the vacuum of space are affected and how long till death. Generally they don’t take into consideration pressure changes and thermodynamics.
In fact if you were exposed to the vacuum you would actually start heating up fast instead of cooling down.
The chemical processes in the body are still happening which creates heat energy but since the body is in a vacuum the heat has no where to go essentially making your body one big heat insulator.
Freezing only sets in after a couple of hours/ days after death and after the body’s chemical processes have slowed down or completely stopped.
On top of that the bloating and expansion of the body is dependent on the change in pressure. You can absolutely buy time for an individual in the vacuum of space if you slowly lowered the pressure in the airlock to a suitable level and then exposed them to a vacuum.
Friction?
Always thought it was more the compression (like your thumb over a bike pump). You learn something everyday.
It is compression.
What she says about the heatshield and friction is ok, but there is more to it. The heat is not an unavoidable danger, it's an asset. If you want to land an orbiting object, you just have to decelerate it. On the moon, with no atmosphere, you would use rocket fuel which is very expensive to transport from the Earth up. But on the Earth we have a free way to decelerate : the atmosphere. What the capsule does is it maximizes the way it uses air to decelerate without having to consume precious fuel. It's not really friction that makes the capsule heating : at these enormous speed, the pressure of the air on the heatshield makes the air heating : not the friction, the pressure (when you compress a gaz, it's getting hotter : ideal gas law PV=nRT). The air gets so hot that it becomes a plasma : the air never touches the heatshield. The trick is : you exchange kinetic energy with heat energy that you dump into the atmosphere. For this to happen, you have to have a heatshield which stops the heat energy to go into your spacecraft, wasting this p^recious decelerating energy. And it has a nice side effect : it protects the astronauts !
4:45 Remember that Quill is basically a demi-god, so I think your score was a bit low.
Love that she acknowledges Armageddon isn't very "real", but gives it a 10/10 for "excitement"! lol
It's important to note that Star-Lord is literally a demi-god(small g), so he's more resilient and durable than a normal human.
From a realism standpoint, it's not important to note at all.
