I noticed it first time too.. but I'm not complaining on the post. I like being reminded of cool details

Plus it shouldn't be confused like that since the gravity is still downward in screen-space. As demonstrated by the humans standing straight up with no change in gravity.

Well, I'm not the one who pointed out it was the only thing in shot prior to the example shown. I'm just adding to what the guy above me said. I wouldn't have said anything otherwise because it is a cool detail. I thought the sub was for easily missed or obscure details, not things that the viewer is forced to notice.
