I'll post a retort that destroys everything those two say

Buzz Aldrin was the second man to walk on the Moon and spent quite a bit of time outside the spacecraft on Gemini XII.

Tom Jones is one of the most traveled men in the history of spaceflight and has been outside the spacecraft many, many times. I'm pretty sure what they have to say is very difficult to refute.

Not to mention the fact Cuaron had a current NASA astronaut ADVISING him in pre-production.

The movie's physics aren't perfect and they can't be because you wouldn't be able to tell a story at all. But to say Gravity is on par with Armageddon in terms of its realism is incredibly asinine.
