   I was sort of wondering about the physics of traveling between the various   
   space platforms too, but did notice that each trip involved a movement   
   downward toward the Earth.  The Hubble is close to 400 miles up there, which I   
   think the movie noted at the    
   very beginning, then the ISS is about 200 and the Chinese station was scraping   
   the upper atmosphere. They just needed enough momentum to get headed in the   
   right direction.  In a sense, Kawalski and Ryan, then just Ryan, were actually   
   being assisted by    
   gravity, heading ever downward into the gravity well and not moving against   
   it.
