space ships/stations and planets all have Earth normal gravity.

Consider the two cases of landing a space ship:

   1) Airport-control (control tower, etc).
   2) Independent pilot.

Them first of these is characterised by the film "Airport"
during final approach, as well as the film "Alien IV: Resurrection"
during then inital approach.

The second is characterised by "Star Wars IV: A New Hope"
when the Millenium Falcon takes off from Moss Eisley.

The two contrasting (extreme) cases indicate the following:

  1) A civilisation. A managed port facility. Rules, regulations.

  2) Emergencies, breaking the rules, an un-tamed region or
     situation.
