Bad Astronomy

A)  1.
I saw the ship fall apart and shut down as it entered Mars' atmosphere.  I did not catch the line that atributed this disterbance to a gamma  ray.
2.  I thought it was odd that radiation entered/ of was formed within the space shuttle so easily.
3. The astronomer on Bad Astronomy says that the ship would have bee guarded from radiation.

B)  1.  I saw the escape pod hitting Mars's surface and bouncing down a cliff.
2.  I do not believe the astronauts would have been able to survive the impact and continued bouncing.
3. The astronomer compares this to a car crash and says their survival would be unlikely, at least they shouldn't have been able to walk away.

C) 1.  Bowman flipped a switch and the gravity turned back on in the space ship, causing her to fall to its floor.
2.  I thought it was plausible that the gravity would turn on in such a manner.
3. The astronomer says it would have taken longer for the system to slowly boot up and turn the gravity on.

D)  1. Chantilas has a ruptured spleen and internal bleeding so he has the others leave him behind.
2. They should have taken his oxygen if he was going  to die anyway.  Why make him wait, and risk their own lives more without it.
3. The astronomer says the same, and thinks Chantilas would have offered it up.

E) 1. Gallagher is dying from not having enough oxygen.
2. First, I thought he should have opened his helmet.  I called that there would vbe oxygen, and I thought it would have been better than suffocating in the helmet.
3. The astronomer says the astronauts should have known about the return of oxygen.
