Armageddon

[r3vange]

I am watching Armageddon for the 100th time. The scene where the 2 shuttles fly towards the comet and one is destroyed. There is a body flying in space and hits the second shuttle cockpit windows.

The quetion:
Would the frozen body actually shatter instead of "gently bumping off" of the shuttle? When we freeze objects in liquid nitrogen, they're easily shattered.

movie mistake, i guess...

Do i get a cookie for being observant?

[color=#FFFFFF]It would shatter, but the whole scene with the shuttles is riddiculous when you put physics behind it, an object has to travel with 7.5 km per second to be in low Earth orbit. So at that speed 70kg frozen block will pretty much destroy the shuttle too.

That crater was made by a fleck of paint...
