The only sounds you really ever heard were directly from Serenity herself, never any of the ships outside (as though the mic was in Serenity). There might have been sound when they were on a planet but I think that's all. Just a fact check ^_^ I don’t remember any sound in space in Serenity.

Here goes... at the risk of becoming the laughing stock of this blog.... I understand how there is no sound in space... sorta. But space isn't a complete vacuum. So... if an asteroid hits a moon of some random planet - there will be sound would there not? There are molecules in space for this event to transmit the sounds from the impact that occurred. I was also reading about a blackhole that is emitting a sound - albeit one that humans can not hear. So, if there is sound in space - is it in the (i apologize in advance for this) ear of the beholder? That is, it depends on the sensitivity of the equipment? Thanks to anyone who can shed some light on this - I do want to learn how this would/does work. edit: I think I just found an answer, bu would appreciate any insights/recommended sources people would be interested in sharing.
