Fun Fact:

If someone smokes a joint in a zero-G environment, all the smoke just hangs there.

So, I decided to try the Vocaloid software, got an editor and Vocaloid Tonio to try it out. I'm doing a Skyfall cover XD using an already existing vsqx as reference for tone and word placing... it's turning out good.

Retro SciFi Film of the Week…

Woman in the Moon (1929)

This was Fritz Lang’s last silent film, which was released just three years before the Nazis took power in Germany. Lang, whose mother was Jewish, opposed the Nazis, and the main villain in this film has a remarkable visual resemblance to Hitler.

One of the striking features of this film is the attention to technical detail. Hermann Oberth (one of the founding fathers of rocketry along with Goddard and others) was the technical consultant for the film. There are long segments in the film that go into fine detail about the acceleration, speed and trajectory of the rocket complete with diagrams of orbital mechanics. The passengers in the spaceship are shown experiencing high G-forces during acceleration, followed by zero-G conditions. Many scifi films, even to this day, don’t bother to show zero-G conditions in spacecraft and just show the astronauts walking around; this film was way ahead of it’s time on scientific accuracy.

In science, there was a lot going on when this film was made with the Solvay Conference in 1927 just two years before the making of the film, and the first manned rocket-powered plane demonstrated a couple of months before the film’s release.

video description:
clips from the film, video only, no sound, all the writing within the images of the film are in German, however the intertitles have been translated to English for this version of the film – video shows the rocket being rolled out to the launch pad and partially submerged in water, because “it is too light to stand freely”. Meanwhile, in the spaceship the astronauts are walking around dressed in ordinary street clothes. One of them explains to the others that “until the necessary speed of 11,200 meters per second is reached… there will be eight critical minutes in the battle with increase in velocity, the pressure of which is fatal for humans when it surpasses forty meters per second.” Closeups of analog dial gauges are shown for speed and acceleration. (the dial for acceleration correctly shows the units as “m./sec.^2”) Intertitle says, “After these eight minutes during which we feel as if tons of weight pull us back to Earth, we will be victorious in the battle with pressure, or...”. Another man (who plays the coward) covers his ears and appears upset. There is a dramatic countdown… “6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, NOW!” Then the rocket takes off at a very quick speed. The leader tells the coward to dump the first rocket stage when it is empty. Other astronauts appear distressed by the high G-forces, their acting style is exaggerated. The cots that they are lying in are suspended by springs, and the springs begin to stretch to show the G-force. It shows the second stage separating from the rocket and the upper stage engine firing. Later it shows the astronauts looking out a window at the Earth with the Sun appearing from behind it. Intertitle says, “On our Earth, the sun is just rising.” Later it shows a woman and a man – the woman is trying to pour out wine from a bottle but it won’t pour out because they are in zero-G. The man shakes out some of the wine and it floats in spherical bubbles, the woman laughs and the man scoops up the droplets into a wine glass and quickly covers the glass to prevent the wine from escaping, then carefully sips some out from the side of the glass while his hand partially covers the glass. Later someone writes in a logbook, “Have entered the gravitational field of the moon. Are within 9000 km of the moon.”

Although not related to his research, one of my PhD students got the opportunity to make a flight. In this case, he was one of the "test subjects". Check out the two videos he made during the parabolic flight.

Retro SciFi Film of the Week…

Mission to Mars (2000)

This film got great reviews in Europe but lousy reviews in the US. I suspect the lousy reviews were due to something other than the quality of the film because this is a well-made film. The sets and props are about the best I’ve seen, and the CG (computer graphics) are also well done.

The writing is a little weak, especially the dialogue, but these seasoned actors were able to bring those words to life. The plot is nothing special and the narrative is just a straight, linear story throughout – no flashbacks or flash-forwards. It’s a very easy film to watch and doesn’t demand much from the audience, but it’s still entertaining and realistic for the most part. There are a lot of lines of exposition in this film, but I think the filmmakers wanted to make sure anyone could watch this one and easily follow the plot.

Gary Sinise (Lt. Dan from Forrest Gump) gets the most screen time of the main characters, while Don Cheadle (Hotel Rwanda) got the least, and Cheadle was also given the majority of the clumsy exposition lines. (I wonder why?) The women were also slighted in this film, but sadly that’s typical for 20th century Hollywood.

Visually the film was fantastic with realistic scenes on Mars and in space which was somewhat reminiscent of 2001: A Space Odyssey. They didn’t get the science right all the time, and some of the situations and problems they faced were kind of unrealistic, but that’s par for Hollywood.

This is a great film for a family, or a group of people that may include those who might struggle with a more complex plot line or who prefer a temporally linear presentation but it’s entertaining for science geeks, too.
