Hell yeah. I wanted to love both those movies, but man, they were crap. I'm so glad I didn't pay for either of them.

Nifty! I'll have to read up on that.

On the bright side, it's a good reminder to listen to some Church, because their music is still great.

The skydiver wasn't in orbit. Duh.

NO IT ISN'T!!!

That's less wrong, but still wrong. I say again, you can't 'fall' out of orbit, for the simple reason that something in orbit is, by definition, already falling. As I said in another part of the thread, it's like saying that something is falling out of falling. One pithy description I've heard for what an object…

Sheesh. I made one mild comment on a classic space-opera physics-fail, & a bunch of cluebies picked a fight with me. Go complain to them, not me.

Ah! That's the system I was trying to remember. The one that's like a box with a buttload of barrels on an insanely fast 2-axis turret. Danké!

I made the same assumption about the poison too, but what @hobhob:disqus said.

Isn't "Battlestar" its own class?

Adam Savage did a series of YouTube videos on the costuming in The Expanse, & there's an amusing moment when he's looking at her outfits & says that they make him sad to be a guy, because he'd like to wear them himself.

"Daniel: Amos & Prax could have a buddy cop show, but "just about when Prax is about to explain what the crime was, Amos is already punching the guy.""
LOL. That is perfect.

Easy to do. Go to your local plant nursery / garden centre, then say something stupid & wrong to one of the staff. When they correct you…

Ah. I stand corrected. Any idea what kind of guns they are?

Sorry, but it's not a grammatical argument, it's a science argument. Again, an object in a stable orbit is already falling* - that's why people in the ISS experience microgravity. Talking about something "falling out of orbit" on this context is like saying that "it's fallen out of falling", which is as exactly wrong…

I seriously doubt that anyone in any kind of technical role at NASA would make such a clichéd error.

Except that it wasn't a grammar rant, of course.

Sorry, but you complaining about a 'rant' to the person who wrote it counts as arguing - especially when it continues over multiple comments.

He doesn't need to ask, he's obviously got a habit, & while inconvenient at the time, I doubt he's going to complain about a freebie.

You certainly seemed to me to be complaining about arguments when you wrote this:
