Gabe Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 (edited) I just saw this trailer and thought a few things:http://youtu.be/ufsrgE0BYf01) Been there, done that.2) Must have left on the ASAS & RCS.3) Oh yeah, I still need to go recover Bill who is currently a satellite in orbit.

BrainDeZa Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 LOL. I agree. The whole time I am watching it, I am thingking "Esc, End Flight, End Flight, Restart Flight" and "Oops there goes another one". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morokth Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 Wow. And in the same line as the OP was think my first thought was for all the radical vectors and how much of a PITA it would be just to get back under control and back aboard the shuttle. Pure utter wow-ness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scotius Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 My first thought after watching this trainer? Gravity kills. Second: Inertia is a b***. Third: In space no one can hear you scream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pyre Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 Explosions in space don't make fireballs. The fact that they seem to be trying to be reasonably accurate just makes their mistakes worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SecondGuessing Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 Explosions in space don't make fireballs. The fact that they seem to be trying to be reasonably accurate just makes their mistakes worse.Depends. There's oxygen within the capsule, and possibly some liquid oxygen within the fuel tanks; they can certainly catch fire.Anyway, this film shows why astronauts should where SAFERs when doing EVA.

Nikolai Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 Anyway, this film shows why astronauts should where SAFERs when doing EVA.Just having a SAFER doesn't automatically make it safer. On STS-121, for example, Piers Sellers' SAFER came unlatched during a test of Shuttle repair techniques.They're redesigning the latches with hard covers to prevent this from happening again. In the meantime, remember that assessing risk is hard -- especially in an inherently hazardous environment like space. The risk of something bad happening on EVA needs to be balanced against the odds of the extra equipment causing something bad to happen on EVA.

Qumefox Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 Explosions in space don't make fireballs. The fact that they seem to be trying to be reasonably accurate just makes their mistakes worse.All combustion needs is an oxidiser and something to burn mixed at the right ratio, and an ignition source.. If you had say, a propellant leak, say LOX and hydrogen, and something ignited it near the source before the gasses had time to disperse. It'd be quite possible to get a fireball in space... However the event would be extremely short lived as the burning mixture would expand spherically VERY rapidly and quickly lose sufficient fuel density and mixture ratio continue to support the combustion.
