Does anyone else notice how zero sci-fi movies where small spacecraft engage in dogfights don't move anywhere close to how they would really move in a vacuum? They always move like conventional aircraft in atmosphere. In a vacuum, things don't work like that. Craft can't just bank and turn. They have to negate their current momentum to turn. Banking is irrelevant in vacuum. There is no lift. Doesn't that bother anyone else?
