Coming from an engineering background, it is actually physically painful watching the scientific inaccuracies in this show. You either go proper sci-fi a la Stargate, Star Trek etc and maintain a level of consistency and limitations on how the sci-fi elements you introduce work, or you go grounded in reality like The Expanse or The Martian. You don't try and use realistic science then proceed to butcher it up to come up with idiotic and nonsensical macguffins like a magical pressure suit that allows a wearer to wake up and move immediately from cryosleep, or showing a spinning spaceship that magically has artificial gravity everywhere - even where it doesn't spin, or magically coming across comets, asteroids, and f**king entire planetary systems and stars?? for the exact resources they need in the middle of the empty void between Sol and Alpha Centauri which also happens to be the closest star system to Earth by literally several light years.
Exactly what was to be expected from a constantly failing upwards clown like Dean Devlin though to be fair. So don't know why I even bothered watching it.
