The whole "sound in space thing" is raised here:

"Yeah, well, you know, no sounds in space and all that. Silly."
here:

"In the movie, we hear sounds in space. Every movie except "2001" makes this mistake. Without air, there is no way for sound to travel."
here:

"Then there is the matter of the seismic charges. In space, as it is said, no one can hear you scream."
and, I'm sure, in a few other pages besides. (I got fed up cutting and pasting).
Anyway, many apologies. |
Not at all
badantheugly -- the apology is
mine.
We see many new posts in
Bad Astronomy Stories which, rather than addressing something specifically from Phil's site, offer general commentary about new instances of bad astronomy in media coverage, movies, and television. In the absence of specific references to the articles you've now provided, I'd incorrectly inferred you were interested in a similar, general discussion -- and thought you might receive more participation from our sci-fi buffs in
Small Media at Large.
My bad! Sorry for the confusion.
Moved back to
