If those two Gundams can go on their own, why all the fuss? They can casually fly behind Kusanagi and provide support rear-fire. But, nooo ...they show us how Kira/Freedom desperately reaching for Athrun/Justice while still grabbing the Kusanagi like their lives depends on it  .
So, again, if Freedom (and to some extend, Justice) can go to space on its own, that “panic aspect” of ORB escape event shouldn’t happen, but it did. Then the writer in Destiny messed-up by making Freedom look like possessing space-rocket ability (assuming you chose to believe it) considering no amount of inner-upgrade can make a thin humanoid MS go to space in CE (you have to attach appropriate boosters like already shown by Strike Rouge). Hell, if you wanna go extreme-crazy in CE-verse, look no further than Astray mangas. Yet, no MS in Astray can go to space on its own without additional boosters or other ouside equipments which Freedom clearly didn’t have in that shuttle scene in Destiny. So, no matter what you believe (whether or not Freedom can go on its own), it is bad writing on both ends on Destiny’s part. |
Well, if they can mess with Mu's death, this is nothing by comparison.
That said, as I said before, just because the Freedom (and Justice) can do it, doesn't mean they have to. If the Freedom and Justice can get a free ride from a mass driver-accelerated Kusanagi, then why not? And as shown, they can then focus on firing back at the Biological CPUs chasing them.
Of course, the other possibility is an upgrade. And as far as them messing up in the technology department as compared to the real world, I have no problem with people choosing to interpret it that way. But the implication in the story still stands, though, that Kira intended to follow Lacus with the Freedom to space. No amount of real-world science is going to change that.
