So, logically, spacecraft in the frictionless environment of outer

No, it takes a few minutes. Don't you watch star trek?

It actually depends on the volume and pitch of the 'rrorrr-rrOORRR'
sound and angle at which Mr. Scott finds himself clinging to the fence
in front of the engines.
Smoke escaping out of various panels on the bridge seems to help as
well.
You sure this isn't a GM product we're talking about here?
Bwwahwhahwhahw!
