Gravity, t3h movie! Imax 3d.

So do you have any interest at all in seeing the film...?

Maybe. I've heard it is good, but that one must suspend a bit of reality to accept the proposed science. I guess they need to do that to create the drama -- things in space fly around at the speed of bullets. You wouldn't see it coming, and also, the engineers know about it and plan for it, shield for it, etc. Hubble, the ISS, and the Chinese space station are not in the same orbits, or even the same shaped orbit.

So beyond the shaky science and physics stuff. I'm a bit worried its another "towering inferno" in space -- or in other words, drama for drama's sake. Let's set up some suspenseful scenes where our good actors can get all dramatic.

And... also, I was writing above about Alram's note about procurement, which was messed up at a non-government corporation.
