Science just keeps screwing up the best science fiction. First they told me that laser-guns and explosions in space wouldn't make any noise.

Niven's Law number 2:

Never fire a laser at a mirror.

And if you thought that laser-guns and explosions in space would make a noise then you haven't been paying attention to science fiction for about 30 years.

Remember the tag line to the first Alien movie (1979)?

You know - when I was, like, 5 years old :)

Of course. That's what burst the bubble for me. "They CAN'T?" ;-)
