Space Is Noisy: Difference between revisions

== Anime & Manga ==

* ''[[Melody of Oblivion]]'' does a bit of [[Lampshade Hanging]] when the characters are fighting in space:

'''Flying Bunny''': "Echo, my Melos"? How can we hear that? We're in space, right? }}

* ''[[Sailor Moon]] R the Movie''. Just... the whole thing after they teleport into space.

** In [[Starship Operators]], the sound effects are added at the insistence of the reality TV producers who sponsor the ship - with the claim that it's what their viewers expect - much to the annoyance of some crew members.

** ''Against All Enemies'' by [[John Hemry]] used this, too:

* ''[[Animorphs]]'' attempt to justify this in ''The Andalite Chronicles'', by saying that energy from shredder or dracon beam blasts are translated into sound to lessen the impact of the weapons, and so we get the stereotypical noises in space. And since the [[The Puppeteers|other]] main space-faring race in the series basically reverse-engineered all their technology from the Andalites, they'd have this technology too.

* Double subverted in Anne McCaffrey's novel ''Pegasus In Flight''. Rhyssa, the protagonist, has been trying to negotiate better working conditions for the psychics working a space station. The manager repeatedly says that their requests are ridiculous, especially the special shielding for noise- she says that there is no noise in space. Later, another main character tapes the noise heard by the psychics (described as squeaks and metallic groans) and plays it to the manager's assistant, who is only too happy to accede to their demands.

* Invoked in ''[[Battle Fleet Mars]]'' [http://www.projectrho.com/rocket/rocket3t.html#misc intro] by Redmond Simonsen:

 

 

 

== Films -- Live-Action ==

** Its sequel, ''2010'', plays this trope straight.

* The 1972 film, ''Silent Running'' is completely faithful to silent space - even in the case of a nuclear explosion.
