Two Articles form Star Wars

1. Star Wars in the Rocket City: Inside the science of Episode VI with artificial gravity and Leia's slave costume


- This article talks mostly about a NASA enginner and his thoughts towards the death star. He explains that the gravity of an object this big not being natural is like imaginary or imposible because of the 100 mile diameter of the object. He gives his opinions of how the directors managed this fact and explained he would have enjoyed very much if out of no where the gravity disappeared and everybody started floating. The second part of the article, was about princess Leia´s slave costume. It explained why the teenagers in 1983 liked it so much because it showed as if Leia was a lave at Jabba´s palace. 


2. Aerodinamics in Star Wars


- The great part of the articles talks about the aerodainamics and space fighters in the movie. A NASA expert doubts and questions why rebel fighters have wings, when wings are used to push air, when space doesn´t have air. It is also very unlike the way that the motors power the aircraft, since in real life, it takes a much bigger and powerful thing to mpove in space; the beam used in star war fighters is the technology used in present day military jets.
