DON'T watch it!. Even the script is written by one who doesn't understand basic navigation concepts

DON'T watch it!. Even the script is written by one who doesn't understand basic navigation (neither space nor aircraft navigation) I stopped watching at the very beginning after the ship they find on radar (or whatever they call that device) is announced to be located at 30 thousand klicks _SOUTH_EAST_ of their position.. WTF?! Didn't they catch on the basic fact that there are no 2D surface directions in space? East, West, South, North are all references to magnetic poles on a planet and are meaningless in space.
In space you would have azimuth, elevation and distance, as relative references to their current position and heading or in relation to a nearby planet / star / major body.
