So what you and airsoft are saying is that real space isn't like the movies with shit flying around all over the place?? Well that just destroys my faith in Hollywood's credibility.

That's nothin. Yesterday my 86 GMC Jimmy started and I drove it to town after it sat unused for 5 months.

Space is rather, uh, spacious. Not a whole lot to bonk into out there.

Depending on how accurate a visual is that I saw on Wikipedia, I guess Voyager is in the clear for about another 300 years until it reaches the (theoretical) Oort cloud.

Great job by all involved!

They would fuck it all up, they couldnt help themselves but to "tweak" it and by the time the committee and bureaucracy were done it wouldnt even resemble the original
