        @neiltyson @john72carter what I thought was weird were massive breaking waves in a waist-deep sea in roughly 1g gravity...

        @neiltyson @john72carter Also I'm guessing they'd never b able to lift-off from it with that little ship. Gravity > earths = more fuel/power

        @neiltyson @john72carter Who's to say that there wasn't tons of volcanic activity on the planet? Could have been fleshed out more though.

        @neiltyson @john72carter I thought the tidal waves were caused by the inconsistency of time dilation due to the proximity to the black hole.
