Trivia
Contrary to popular belief, brief exposure to a vacuum does not result in you instantly exploding. Any water exposed to the vacuum would begin to boil due to the drop in pressure (and subsequent lowering of the boiling point of water to a point where your body temperature is hot enough to boil it). However, your tissue (skin, blood vessels) is elastic and porous enough to swell and accommodate the expansion from evaporation and some fluids would remain liquid. The miner could survive his brief exposure, especially since his suit would likely be pressurized enough to avoid full body exposure, and with a less than rapid depressurization of the face mask.

Goofs
Incorrectly Regarded as Goof - Opening the visor of an EV suit while out in space, even for a second, would be fatal. All the air in the suit would be vented in less then a second, this is known as explosive decompression. The sudden pressure drop would cause all the capillaries on your face to burst, and your skin and eyes would flash freeze. - There are recorded instances of a person being exposed to high vacuum without serious injury, a person would not instantly freeze on exposure, as the vacuum of space is a poor conductor of heat. Opening a visor for a few seconds would not cause instant death.

Quotes
Naomi Nagata: Holden, tell the Butcher to call off his men, or I'll have Alex vent his bloody station.
[the Roci's point defense cannons deploy and lock onto the station]

Intriguing

Greetings from Lithuania.

6th episode "Rock Bottom" of "The Expanse" moved story forward and did it in involving and intriguing way. I liked this episode much, this is a very good episode in the series. Performances were pretty good, but the standout performances in this show overall so far are by the most known names (no wonder) - Thomas Jane and Jared Harris - interactions between these two always entertaining in this show.

Overall, "Rock Bottom" is a very involving entry into "The Expanse" series. The mood, setting, deep sci-fi story - those are the highlights of this episode and the whole show so far which isn't very great or amazing, but it is pretty damn good one so far.
