Anyone notice that the Vipers use control thrusters?
REB — (archived)

BTW, I love how the Vipers have lateral and horizontal control thrusters much like the Space Shuttle does. I remember watching the Original show with my Uncle, who had been in the Air Force. He would complain that the Vipers could not fly like a jet airplane in space, as there is no air. Hollywood is bad about having spaceships just fly around like an airplane.

The new show correctly shows that when a spaceship needs to go up, it fires control thruster down.

I also like how they Vipers have more conventional weapons instead of lasers.

I don't think they are showing 'sound in space'. Not much anyway. I'll keep an ear out for it next time I watch.

And when they crash on a planet, it is not an 'M' class with breathable air.

This show is doing well with the Science side.
