This week everyones talking about Gravity and its realistic depiction of survival in space. However, the movie is not even close to reality. In fact, here are 10 glaring inaccuracies. 1. NASA analysts would be able to predict a deadly debris field long before it hit their spacecraft. 2. When Ryan cries, her tears float away. However, even in space, surface tension would cause them to remain on her face. 3. Kowalskis subsequent claim that space tears contain mystical properties are unfounded. 4. You cant lift up your helmet and drink from a can of Sprite while in a vacuum. 5. Earth is approximately 90 million miles away from the sun. As such, Kowalskis suggestion that they swim on over there and get our bearings is reckless. 6. Second star to the right, and straight on til morning is NOT how to locate the moon when adrift in deep space. 7. NASA-issued Emergency Escape Pods do not have external engines, much less one large enough for a goose to fly into upon re-entry. 8. At 1:07:54, a boom mic can be seen clearly in the reflection of Bullocks helmet, as can the boom operator, Sandy, who is not wearing a spacesuit. 9. Bucky, the hyper-intelligent NASA chimpanzee who attacks and kills George Clooney in the final scene, is referred to several times as a monkey. She is in fact an ape. 10. Everyone didnt immediately die at the start of the movie.
