I do, however, have significant problems with much of the story, the set-up, Clooney zooming around in his MMU like an Indy car, the massive amount of license taken in such matters as putting the Hubble and the ISS and the (fictional) Chinese station in identical orbits and as next-door neighbors, etc., etc. All very annoying.
