The Truth About Explosions in Space

TLDRContrary to popular belief, explosions in space are not as dramatic as they are portrayed in movies. Without oxygen, spaceships can only explode if they have a nuclear power plant installed. The absence of oxygen also means there is no sound in space. Additionally, space is not as crowded and eventful as it is shown in movies, and communication between spaceships and planets is not instantaneous.
