re: Sunshine (2007) - I've been on a bit of a sci-fi kick lately...

I watched this movie last night.

I was curious as to how they slingshotted around Mercury without exposing the rear of the ship, thus burning it to smithereens.

The most ridiculous part is that Captain America survives exposure to -273 degrees celsius, then shortly afterwards is jumping into the coolant that previously was too cold to put his hand in for a moment.
