Crappity : Punching Holes in Theory

The moving Gravity is founded on utter crap. Don't watch it - save your money. In fact, very few Hollywood movies are worth watching anymore.. Go for the old ones.

Here's the BS they're feeding us in Crappity :

Objects in the same orbit are traveling at different speeds - who can fall for such crap. "90 minutes - that's how much time we have" the idiot hoary Cloony croons. Really? First, if there's an explosion, and you're getting material coming at you, if it's at a faster pace than you're orbiting at, it's going to move into a different orbit!! Duh!! Then, what about the material that went the opposite way? If your theory is good, and a 50 year old woman can have legs like that without touching up the video, then the debris that went the other way should be coming at your in less than 90 minutes if you just took a hit from stuff that came at you 5 minutes after the collision.
