Science Consultant Advice: Vibrations from Spaceship Explosion

In summary, a science consultant is a professional who provides expert advice and guidance in the field of science. They use their knowledge and expertise to help solve problems, make decisions, and improve processes related to science. In the case of a spaceship explosion, a science consultant would analyze the vibrations and determine the cause, as well as provide recommendations for preventing similar incidents in the future. They approach the problem by gathering data, conducting experiments, and using their knowledge of physics and engineering. A science consultant should have a strong background in physics and engineering, with experience in analyzing vibrations and working with complex systems. Their advice can help prevent future spaceship explosions by identifying and addressing potential issues and weaknesses in the design and operation of the spaceship. They can also recommend regular

Stupid question, not sure waht to say...

In a science fiction movie, when a spaceship explodes, the vibrations form the sound nearly destroy a nearby spaceship. If you were the science consultant for the movie, what would your advice be for the producer?

Anyhelp would be greatfully accepted!

Space is pretty much a vacuum... can sound waves propagate in a vacuum? If not why not? Also I suspect the debris hurtling from the spaceship would damage the ship if it were close enough. =)
