I wonder why they showed the main engines firing rather than the actual OMS ones?
And they're burning hydrogen with oxygen, yet showing yellow flames rather than blue. Tsk, tsk. ^_^
Of course, the fact that the only complaints I can make about the show's big climactic sequence are these kind of utterly pointless and minimally relevant nitpicks says a lot about both the dramatic quality of the show and its degree of attention to detail.
I think I might've come up with an alternate method of resolving the final crisis, though. If Orpheus has the delta-v to make it to Pluto, it should also have the gas to put itself in a stable low parking orbit... even with Mangosteen tied onto the front with ripped out wiring. True, this'd be an awful desecration to pull on something that costly, but it should be possible to limit the damage to the easily repairable sections, and with the probe not going anywhere, refueling it should be relatively simple.
...overall conclusion: This series rocks like it owns the place. I hope they make a second season. Grab it, watch it, love it.
