I agree, "to HollyWood". Plus I thought "explosions" couldn't happen in the vacum of space???

Yes, "Hollywood" is definitely the appropriate term. Those are shots/caps taken from a movie. I recognize the scene, but I can't quite recall the flick (theatrical? TV?) from which they were cribbed. I'm sure someone else will recognize the footage and chime in.

You're right, I remember Apollo 13 now. I guess I was refering to the big flames and such.
