Have you noticed that scientific organisations participating in the ISS project are promoting a game in which sounds in audible in vacuum? Apparently the heritage of Star Wars et al. is still preventing the industry from marketing space-based games not making physicists laugh. Surely, it won't change soon.


Yes, let's care about sound in space. Because the rest of Star Wars et al is completely true to the laws of physics.


For the purists, allow me to recommend adjusting the volume controls on your phone.

I don't hear anyone laughing.

:-D


I hope this is a joke. A silent space game would not be fun.


I think that we can bow to the needs of dramatic effect. Even in "in space, nobody can hear you scream" Alien they had space ship sounds.
