Can spaceships turn around?
Can spaceships turn around?
There is no reason a spacecraft “cannot” do this, but the reason it is entirely impractical is because of the propellant required to change the spacecraft trajectory.
Is there gravity in space station?
Q; Are astronauts in free fall? Yes, astronauts are in free fall on space stations. There is gravity on space stations, and that’s the only force acting on astronauts. Since the only force working on the space station itself is also gravity, both the astronauts and the space station are in free fall together.
Do spaceships gravity?
Yes, there is a gravitational force acting on everything—but there is also that air drag force that will make the spacecraft slow down as it moves down. If the human is going to stay inside the spacecraft, there must also be an extra force on that human (from the floor).
Does spaceships have artificial gravity?
In science fiction, artificial gravity (or cancellation of gravity) or “paragravity” is sometimes present in spacecraft that are neither rotating nor accelerating. At present, there is no confirmed technique that can simulate gravity other than actual mass or acceleration.
Is there Science in sci-fi movies?
This post is part of Science of Sci-Fi, Mashable’s ongoing series dissecting the science (or lack of science) in our favorite sci-fi movies, TV shows, and books. At more than 60 years into the Space Age, fictional spaceships appear on our screens at a far greater frequency than the real things launch in real life.
Do you have a idea of what a spaceship should look like?
Yes, as long as there’s been science fiction on the silver screen, spaceships have captured our imagination, from the matinee serials of the 30s to the sci-fi blockbusters of the present. We all have our own idea of what a great spaceship should look like.
What are some of the most unusual spaceships in movies?
For some, it’s Han Solo’s fastest hunk of junk in the galaxy, the Millennium Falcon. For others, it’s the more graceful USS Enterprise, or maybe the utilitarian craft of 2001: A Space Odyssey. But what about cinema’s more unusual, outlandish spaceships? The ramshackle ones, the anachronistic ones, the ones that look a bit rude, or just plain scary?
Is Fritz Lang’s Space Rocket an example of Art Deco sci-fi?
Not only is the rocket in Fritz Lang’s precocious space outing a beautiful example of Art Deco sci-fi before the bulbous curves of Flash Gordon took over, but it’s also an amazing foreshadowing of the ‘staged’ separation that would ultimately take man into space (you can see a video clip of that sequence here ).
