Yea I was thinking about that, say a straw. A cylinder to us in the 3d world but in the 2d world one would just see themselves stuck in a circle for awhile. So to up a dimension a 4d whole in a 3d world would I guess appear to us to be a stuck in a sphere? Maybe that is what the movie tried to show, but it still looked like they were travelling in a tube.

The wormhole was perfect, except the travel bit bugged me. They use the 2d analog with paper. The second you pass through the hole in one location you emerge from the hole in the other location. In the third dimension, as they touch the sphere near Saturn they would be leaving the surface of the sphere on the other side. From their point of view they should be about to hit the 'ball' then all of a suddenly then are travelling away from the surface of another ball. Instead they had this tunnel thingy.

It seems like their operation would fall in the exact same legal situation as Angel flights, or Pilot's for Paws, or Lighthawk. None of which seem to have common-purpose. Now these organizations seem to ignore compensation issues, but there are cases where logging hours alone was deemed compensation so it is arguable that compensation does occur irregardless of monetary transactions. I can't help but notice though that these organizations often require 500 or 1000 hours of their volunteer pilots, which could likely make many of them CPL holders already.
