Is real life Space Travel and Space Combat visually boring?

Like if we can in some form or another travel in speeds of light or even faster than it or now we have wormholes or hyperspace while we are in a space ship to we really can see the beautiful nebulas, countless stars and galaxies if we look at the windows and cockpits of our space ship?

Or is it just never ending blackness?

I'm asking since yeah in the movies, video games etc. we can see spaceships fighting and and traveling while the backgrounds are visually beautiful with things like a star, a dying planet, nebula, galaxies etc.

We can't know OP and I don't think we can even make a reasnoble guess right now with current knowledge.

Actually I kind of gotten the idea from looking at the lunar landing photos of Apollo 11.

The background is pitch black and no stars except the earth is being seen.

If you're close enough to admire how beautiful they are, odds are you're close enough to have a problem.

You already know what space looks like. It looks like the night sky, just less twinkly.

>Space Combat

If there is ever "combat" in space, it will be long beyond visual range and over in an instant.

Oh here we go

Related to this how would we actually see nebulae and space in general, color wise? Because I'm pretty sure we wouldn't see it like in all the pretty pictures.

That's because they are in bright sunlight. A lot brighter than it ever is on Earth, in fact. An exposure long enough to see stars would be totally washed out.

The light there is coming from the spaceship and cameras themselves. If it is in direct sunlight, the surface of the moon will be hot.

The moon, dunce. The moon is lit up by the sun.

Even if the earth had no atmosphere you wouldnt be able to see stars during the day.

And yes, the moon wouldve been hot.

Hotter than the boiling point of water on earth.

If that's the case then why didn't the astronauts get burned?

>> No.6945763

>6945654
there's no atmosphere to actually transfer surface heat to the astronauts.

They weren't barefoot.
