In space I doubt he was able to get enough momentum to kick through a space suit to do much. Which makes the last panel a WTF look.
The silence of agony.
from where in frictionless space did the port astronaut get the momentum to move forward for the kick? how did this person then return to their original position (their airhose has folded back over in panel 3)
and why hasn’t the starboard astronaut floated out through stage left with the momentum of that kick?
I was waiting for this useless observation. The comic isn’t reality, its a comic.
suction cups
I think he just had the space to move around in.
There’s a theory that astronauts may be able to communicate in space without their radios by touching helmets together. Don’t know if it’s ever been tried.
And speaking of touching helmets, I can imagine another version of this comic where Bob is making a sexy scream, instead.
touching helmets together.
What if you’re not into that?
Hey, get on board, man. It’s for science.
Searched a bit and surprisingly couldn’t find any agency communication about this. I found that they use some gestures though.
I saw somebody do the math and say that this method would dampen the voice so much that it might as well be said not to work. But I don’t know much about this topic, and I can’t say whether the math is correct, either.
I mostly brought it up because it was interesting and let me make a joke about “touching helmets”.
It is essentially the same concept as trying to listen in on a conversation in another room by putting your ear up to the wall.
It technically works, but making out what is being said is not easy unless the other party is being exceptionally loud.
That’s how you do it beltalowda!
You can’t hear the scream, but apparently you can hear the “Bam!” of a nut kick.
