[Detail] The PDCs have counter-thrusters when they're firing (dubvee.org)

Just noticing this for the first time. When the PDCs fire, there is a counter-thruster to keep the recoil from affecting the ship's attitude / maneuverability. I love little attentions to detail like that.

I'm not sure about that. Seems like escaping gas. Thought that they use water for thrusters?
