 * 1: Missiles

When Gru tried to break into Vector's fortress, Vector fired his missiles, which created a mushroom cloud and a hole on the road, but never harmed their target and his phone.

That was the easy one, now prepare for...


 * 2: Vector's airship

First let's look at the four forces acting on an aircraft:

Weight: That's gravity pulling the flying thingy downward.

Drag: That's air resistance. You can google it if you want to learn more about it.

Thrust: That's the force which the engine provides to move the plane forward.

Lift: That's more complicated! It's the force which lifts the aircraft. You can create it by adding a pair of wings or aiming a rocket booster downwards.

However, Vector's aircraft is only a toilet seat attached to a pump (well, that's what is looks like!) so it doesn't provide lift. That machine won't be able even to lift itself off the ground!

Also, the aircraft has a curved base and a high center of mass (You can google it if you don't understand) so it has trouble landing.


 * 3: The moon

Well, shrinking the moon is scientifically possible, but tides don't disappear after that. Shinking an object doesn't reduce its mass; it concentrates its mass and the moon would have a stronger gravititional pull, so the tides actually gets higher!

Also, when the moon gets shrunk to the size of a bapple, it will have so much gravity that it will have the mass of a neutron star and Gru would stick onto it. If Gru had shrunk it to the size of a marble, the moon would become a black hole and destroy the Earth!

But then, if it's all science there would be no creativity, right?
