* Even mighty NASA, it seems, [https://web.archive.org/web/20130214210938/http://lcross.arc.nasa.gov/audio/MissionOverview-HQversions.web.mov falls victim to this trope]. Rocket noise and separation charges and so forth. They even seem to have launched up a record player along with it. There's air ''inside'' the ship, obviously.
Line 127:
* Although it is true that no sound could travel in an absolute vacuum, space is not a true vacuum, but is actually filled with an ''extremely'' thin gas. This means that [http://www.space.com/scienceastronomy/mystery_monday_030922.html sound CAN travel in space] - although it takes a very loud sound and a very sensitive ear to hear it. As a notable example, the chaotic gas surrounding a particular black hole about 250 million light-years away produces a sound (detected by observing the ripples it causes with the Chandra X-ray Observatory satellite) - a [http://www.space.com/scienceastronomy/blackhole_note_030909.html B-flat], to be precise.
** It's a [[The Rolling Stones|gas, gas]], [http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0091306/ gas].
* From the [[NASA|Apollo Program]], we have an example of [https://web.archive.org/web/20110726133706/http://blogs.zooniverse.org/moonzoo/2011/07/18/sounds-on-the-moon/ hammer sounds on the Moon].

Line 218:
* ''[[Bob the Angry Flower]]'': When Lovebot is saving the day in space even the narrator has trouble following events without sound.
* In ''[[The Inexplicable Adventures of Bob]]'' there is [http://bobadventures.comicgenesis.com/d/20060812.html a silent pop followed by a silent kaboom].
* Averted and lampshaded in ''[[Narbonic]]'', as seen in the opening quote and [https://web.archive.org/web/20140118024043/http://www.webcomicsnation.com/users/narbonic/012403despots.jpg this strip].
* Possibly by accident in ''[[Get Medieval]]''. [http://get-medieval.livejournal.com/226663.html A near-miss fired at the heroes while they were preparing for takeoff from the moon] is accompanied by a KABOOM! -- which makes perfect sense, since the shot ''hit'' the moon and the sound can be conveyed through the regolith. (This does not stop people in the [[LiveJournal|comments section]] from hypothesizing some kind of glancing blow to explain the noise.)
