Nice find and good movie! Always wondered why Good guys lasers for ships is red but Sith light Sabers are red?

 

That has always been the case in Star Wars, not sure why. Maybe it's done to avoid a "red is only for villains" trope?

 

Note that the 1980s GI Joe cartoon had COBRA shooting blue lasers, while the Joes used red lasers. But since COBRA troops had blue uniforms, having matching laser colors made sense for the cartoon.

The Basics of Space Flight

 

Used to be this was a free download at the right place on the NASA complex of pages, but I have lost track of the exact link.  The same information is still available in the NASA domain, but as a large complex of linked pages, a format I find approximately worthless.  This is a 300-page book PDF, and the content is in the public domain, the PDF states on page ii.

 

Nyrath's pages used and restated a lot of this stuff (hope you're still with us, but if not, godspeed).
