Golly gee, really, thanks.... I had no idea.
My post was intended to expand on Edge10's joke that the ground crew left the FOD cover in the intake as an explanation for the blanked of intake by implying that the ground crew didn't remove the cover as it isn't necessary due to the fact that the scene was a flight entirely in the vacuum of space. You see, in the vacuum of space there is neither sufficient quantities of any specific gas to act as an oxidizer for the propellant fuel, nor resistance to forward movement thus requiring the removal of the cover.
Just in case you missed it, Edge10's joke was meant to explain why the full sized cockpit used in the filming of the close-up scenes with an actor has a blanking plate in the intake. Essentially a set, not an actually air or space worthy craft, the construction crew put a piece of wood, sheet metal or fiberglass just inside the intake to aid in the illusion of a real spacecraft. Through a poorly framed camera angle, the plate is visible to the viewer, essentially ruining the illusion.
I felt I needed to add the explanation, as it seems that subtlety was ineffective. If you need a map, let me know and I'll post one.
Wow, I guess I can be a condescending know-it-all too.
