The actual dialog is
to:
The actual dialog is \"he\'s at 1000 feet altitude and has reached escape velocity\".
Escape velocity on something as small as the comet in question is less than 10m/s. Traveling 1000 feet (300 meters) in a couple of seconds (the time shown in the movie) requires an acceleration of only equivalent to a couple of \"g\". The section also severely over-estimates the amount of force applied to the astronaut\'s suit by the gas pulse.
The depiction is close enough to how it would actually happen to be reasonable. The primary error is the \"1000 feet\" one, which would more properly be 100m or so. But it\'s no so off of reality that this trope applies (since only a very, very technical reading would possibly consider this somewhat incorrect).
Also deleted the Imperial Stormtrooper Marksmanship Academy entry. The missiles didn\'t miss. They were simply stated to not succeed, which in this context, means that while at least some of them hit, the effects of surface-detonations of nukes on the comet wasn\'t enough to make any difference.
If anything, this would be No Sell.
