So, he...As I mentioned in the review, Matt lets go. So, he says he has to because he's pulling her away from the ISS. She's held there only by a rope caught loosely around her foot. She's holding his tether and he unhooks it, supposedly to save her. Now, he's the veteran astronaut and I don't see how he has enough momentum to keep her pulled away. Seems to me she could have kept her foot rigid, so as not to let the rope slack and pulled him in. Or he could have come in hand over hand. She didn't have enough slack to reach her foot with him hanging on, but she could have stayed hooked till he reached her, then he could have grabbed the rope for her while still attached with the tether. <br /><br />She needed his expertise and experience. He basically abandoned her for no good reason. Two heads are better than one, and he had more oxygen than she did, which could have saved her life later. Maybe I'm just missing something.
