Shouldn't Vector be dead from Asphyxiation?


I know that it's just a movie and that I shouldn't think about it, but eventually, he'd suffocate when all he has is a plastic helmit with no oxygen tank.

Math class is like the movie "Inception": Convoluted, long, & boring.

He also has a flight suit, which could bring him back to Earth before the oxygen runs out. Could this be the premise of Despicable Me 2?

Vector's revenge?

reply

The temperatures on the Moon vary from about 225°F in the light and -244°F in the dark so I think Vector running out of air is the least of his problems.




For those who fight for it, life has a flavor the sheltered will never know!

Cartoon physics.

"that I shouldn't think about it"

There you answered your won question.

Did you also wonder about how someone could shrink the moon...without total devestation to the earth? Surely that crossed your mind, too.

Well, he DID shrink the moon.

He then stuck it in an inside pocket,

and rolled it around in an aircraft.

Not sure if shrinking it had any effect on its mass,

maybe it was compressed,

and thus its gravational influences may still have somehow applied.

Of course, how he would be able to carry around

81,100,000,000,000,000,000 tons of weight in his pocket,

or how the flying machine could maintain yaw, pitch and roll stability

with this massive thing rolling around,

are valid questions.

But...regardless of all this pondering,

there was NO reference to any ill effects whatsoever.

No earthquaking, no clip of that TV news guy

squawking about cataclysmic things going down.

sooo, I guess in this cartoon world,

removing the moon from orbit doesnt do any spontanious damage.

Maybe in the short term, you can pull this off 'here'.

How precise you need to stick it back into orbit,

without future issues, is another question.

On the other hand,

I have not seen Vector escape his predicament,

so unless the moon has retained a cartoon envelope of oxygen,

from its visit into the Earths atmosphere,

I am going to assume he dies sucking for air.

And I bet its not pretty ;)

To be fair, they did show a scene of surfers having the tide disappear from underneath them as a result of the moon disappearing...

He should... but unfortunately, he's not.
