one thing that i cant get my mind over is...

that planet that had the super waves... my understanding is because it's near the super big black hole, the gravity from the blackhole constantly has the waves/water pulled up high like mountains, thats why they can stand on the seabed all the time... and it's not the waves that are travelling around the planet, but the planet spinning around, and the wave is stationary or something rather... but what bogglies my mind is that... the planet has 130% gravity... 1.3g right?

so they needed a rocket booster like some crazy big ass saturn V type booster rocket to LEAVE earth and get the shuttle up to the bigger engine/docking station... 1g, but on a 1.3g planet they can somehow escape the planets gravity with the little shuttle craft... wut... lol

Yeah the giant waves were basically an interpretation of "super tide"... As in the tiny little moon we have can have such an impact on our surface, imagine what a black hole can do

I don't think it's absurd to think that a space craft that can take off in 1.0 G will be able to do it at 1.3. That's like saying cars shouldn't be able to start moving on a hill.

Of course all this stuff exists in a time where we have some energy source that we haven't found yet. Just one of those things in sci-fi you have to accept... It's not as insane as warp drive though, which I find pretty cool.
