I was watching this last night an realized something.
In the scene where Tim Robbins is floating in space and his wife is trying to rescume him I realized that it was quite possible for his wife to do so.
OK so in the movie she is half out of fuel and shoots the grapping hook to him but it can't reach. If she goes the extra few metres to get him she won't have enough fuel to get back. My question is this, why not go the extra few metres, shoot the hook, rescue your husband, fly back towards the ship until you're out of fuel, shoot the grappling hook at the ship to pull yourself back in. Since the grappling hook is extending her reach more then the extra few metres she had to fly to get her husband she would be able to get back to the ship with any problems. Or am I just overthinking this?
