"With seven Academy Awards, Gravity represents a unique opportunity for NASA PR. However, they have to balance 'a broad public interest in space and space exploration' with the many 'scientific errors made in the name of artistic license.' Wired examines the choices made by the filmmakers, and have supplemented their article with a respectful collection of tweets under the hashtag #RealGravity, including some stunning images."

    The magic MMU fuel reserve wasn't the problem for me as much as the cavalier way it was being used as a toy in the opening sequences. Astronauts do not fuck around and go for a joyride ever, much less on a spacewalk.
