The trivia of "2001" omits that Kubrick asked permision to NASA technics for that scene. They said man can suport the vacuum presion for some seconds. In the movie, the presure of the capsule and the explosion can act too as softeners.

Even in the main text is a link [1] that explains something similar. I sugest to erase that trivia.

I agree. Having read a bit on the subject, I think it may be possible to survive such a situation, so I removed the trivia section. Philbert^2.71828 03:25, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Origin of the name?

The article doesn't explain why this is called the Armstrong limit. Is it related to Neil Armstrong ? Probably not for his astronaut career, but when he was a X-15 pilot... fr:user:case 11:51, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

Nine months later, the questions is answered - nothing to do with Neil. - DavidWBrooks 20:09, 11 November 2007 (UTC)
