This is a film I saw once on television about 40 years ago. It was one of those 2:00 am “Sci-Fi Saturday Night” features. I think the film had one big name star (Basil Rathbone I think - but wouldn’t bet on it). I have searched the IMDB for this with no luck.
Basically, a space ship (with crew) is launched and then they release a satellite bomb. (I have NO idea why they are doing this). Then comes a HUGE error in physics. The space ship pulls away from the satellite bomb but they can’t get away from it. Why? They say that the gravitational attraction between the 2 although negligible on Earth is sufficient enough in space to keep the ship and the satellite attracted to each other. So, one of the crew members volunteers to go outside the ship, grab onto the satellite and activate his jet pack while the ship and crew make a retreat in the other direction. Needless to say, the volunteer gets blown up with the bomb but the space ship and crew are saved !! YAY !!
Obscure huh? But I bet some Message Board “Dopers” can figure this one out.
