Tyson continues, remarking on another central part of the film’s plot which, without wishing to spoil the story, depends on the proximity and accessibility of Hubble, the International Space Station and the Chinese Space Station Tiangong: Tyson goes on to question whether Bullock’s character, a medical doctor, would have the necessary qualifications and experience to take part in the space mission, specifically to service the Hubble Space Telescope and perform highly skillful and dangerous space walks. In the video below, an amusing feature about “Everything Wrong With Gravity – With Neil deGrasse Tyson,” by CinemSins. This will be crucial for the safety of future space exploration. As Gravity suggests, the space debris issue is getting alarming, and engage in mitigation and remediation measures to solve the issue. If mankind is to learn the lessons of polluting our own planet, we should be extremely careful about leaving waste in the Earth’s orbit and deep space.
There have been incidents that in some ways echo the storyline of Gravity including an event in 2006 when a the space shuttle Atlantis collided with a fragment of microchip – the tiny piece of debris blew a hole in the shuttle’s cargo bay radiator panels – and another in June 2012 when a micrometeoroid hit International Space Station’s Cupola. NASA’s Orbital Debris Program Office researches, collects data and records orbital debris – more than 500,000 pieces items of space junk are currently being tracked, from nuts, bolts and chips of paint to boosters, rockets and entire dead spacecraft. In the few decades that humans have been sending spacecraft, satellites and manned missions into space a huge collection of manmade objects have been left in orbit. Tyson notes that, despite technical errors in details, one of the central aspects of Gravity highlights a very real danger for space travel – that of collision with the existent and ever-growing amount of space junk orbiting the Earth. Low Earth orbit spacecraft can travel twice as fast (Credits: ESA). This crater resulted from firing a small aluminum sphere at 6.8 km/s at an aluminum block. He started by noting that Gravity is possibly an inaccurate title and suggested names which better reflect the forces that the characters experience during the film, either Zero Gravity or Angular Momentum. In his original stream of Twitter posts, Tyson highlighted some faults with the film and also raised some interesting issues around extraterrestrial travel and the safety of human beings exploring outer space. Tyson himself was shocked at the fuss created around the handful of tweets he had sent over the course of an evening and was moved to write an open letter on 9 th October explaining his motivations and offering praise for the many accurate details of space and space travel depicted in Gravity we shall return to this message later. His tweets created an enormous response including television reports on Inside Edition, The Today Show and NBC Nightly News, along with many other news stories, blog posts and online discussions.

On 6th October 2013, Tyson posted a remarkable series of Twitter tweets highlighting technical blunders in Gravity (while also confessing that he thoroughly enjoyed the film). One expert who offered a notable online critique of Gravity is the astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson, the well-respected head of the Hayden Planetarium in New York’s American Museum of Natural History.
