To some extent, it's understandable that space adventures play fast and loose with physics. After all, who wants to watch Han Solo spend years on the journey to Alderaan, only to find that the planet has twice Earth gravity and he can barely stand up, much less swagger?

The categories of mistakes in our report card should be pretty self-explanatory, but just in case, I'll expand on them a little bit:

• There's no sound in space
• Not all planets have Earth gravity
• Planets should have diverse climates, instead of one unified climate across a "desert planet" or "forest planet."
• It shouldn't be too easy to communicate with alien creatures, without some kind of high-technology "translator" explanation.
• And it definitely shouldn't be too easy for humans to interbreed with aliens.
• Humans exposed to vacuum without a spacesuit shouldn't explode or shatter. And a "hull breach" where the ship's crew is exposed to vacuum should kill everyone instantly.
• You can't have fires in space, unless there's oxygen leaking out somehow.
• Asteroids or other objects shouldn't be able to float close together without falling into each other's gravity
• People shouldn't be able to dodge lasers and other speed-of-light weapons
• And there's no reason why someone would move in slow-motion in zero gravity.
• Faster-than-light travel is probably not ever going to be possible.

The actual plot of Moonraker is surprisingly boring. There are some fancy orchids, and this beardy Nazi guy wants to use them to make a toxin that kills humans so he can breed cute blond people in miniskirts, and Zzzzzzz... But the effects work is pretty great, especially this sequence. The dozens of people floating between the space shuttle and the space station look totally boss. It's the only scene that lives up to my childhood memories.

Other great moments in James Bond's science fiction movie career:

You Only Live Twice (1967). A giant spacecraft is gobbling up U.S. and Soviet space capsules from Earth orbit. Bond discovers that Blofeld, operating out of Japan, is capturing spacecraft to try and provoke World War III. Also, this movie features miniature rocket launcher guns.

Diamonds Are Forever (1971). Blofeld again, this time trying to collect a bunch of diamonds so he can build a giant laser satellite to hold the world to ransom.

The Man With The Golden Gun (1974). Count Dooku has three nipples and he wants to steal a new solar power gadget that could revolutionize energy technology. We're not sure why. We got stuck on "Dooku has three nipples."

The Spy Who Loved Me (1977). The villain, Stromberg, has a massive undersea base and he wants to start a new underwater civilization by nuking the Earth's surface.

Goldeneye (1995). Bond's former spy colleague wants to take control over a huge satellite-based weapons system and use it to destroy the Bank of England.

Die Another Day (2002). Another satellite-based weapons system, the Icarus. This time it's trying to detonate a section of the minefield between North and South Korea, allowing the North Koreans to invade.

Crash another planet into Earth. In an episode of the Transformers cartoon, the villain Megatron tried to bring his home planet, Cybertron, into Earth's atmosphere. The Cybermen also brought their home planet Mondas close to Earth in Doctor Who, and tried to suck the life-force out of our planet, which is sort of similar.

Freeze it to death. In Kurt Vonnegut's novel Cat's Cradle, a substance called ice-nine freezes all water on Earth, causing the extinction of most creatures, including humans, within a few days.

Poison it. In the James Bond classic Moonraker, Hugo Drax distills the poison from a rare orchid and puts it inside globes, which he plans to launch from a space station to points all over Earth. The result: total obliteration.

Cause the sun to go nova. Evil Star, a Green Lantern villain, wanted to plant a device in the Earth's sun that would make it go nova, so he could feast on the stellar energy. The NOVA bomb in Halo: First Strike would do the same thing.

Materialize another planet around it. In the Doctor Who story "The Pirate Planet," a giant hollow planet materializes around smaller planets and crushes the life out of them, then strips them for all their mineral wealth.

Bombard it with garbage. In the Futurama episode "A Big Piece of Garbage," New York launches a giant ball of its trash into space in 2052 — only to have it crash back towards Earth, threatening destruction, years later.

Set up giant mirrors in space. This aspiring mad scientist has a plan to create a giant balloon in space, then cut it in half and coat each half with a reflective surface. If positioned the right way, they could reflect a ton of sunlight on a specific point on Earth.

Biological warfare. In the latest season of Heroes, the Company created a nasty virus that would kill almost the entire human race. And that white Samurai guy was so mad that Hiro kissed his GF that he decided to unleash it.

Killer robot army. In the classic video game Robotron 2084, a swarm of killer robots succeeds in wiping out the entire human race. Only one humanoid mutant remains to fight them off.

Knock it off its perch. Doctor Impossible plots to throw the Earth out of its orbit around the sun in Austin Grossman's novel Soon I Will Be Invincible. "As the Earth grows colder, my power becomes apparent, and the nations submit," he says. And the eponymous monsters in Zombies of the Stratosphere plot to send the Earth off course so Mars can take its place.
