I probably would. But where does it all come from? Just what generates
the gravity?
And I think the crew were mostly traveling asleep/frozen. And they were
revived for docking and such, I think.

Is that a Star Wars movie? I can't really tell them apart (except for
the latest), but nowadays I generally dislike them. When I was a child,
Star Wars was, like, the best thing in this world. Then I made the
mistake of viewing one of them as an adult. Of course, it ruined all my
childhood memories.
My comments on "Alien" were, BTW, meant as geekish/silly comments, and
not intended to raise a .debate. I did watch "Alien" with some of my
even more geekish friends, who annoyed my by raising unbelievably
geekish comments during the movie, like "just what is `molecular acid'?"
and "what kind of metabolism do the creatures have since they generate
that much slime _all_ the time?"
