What I love about this scene is the proper portrayal of relative velocities in orbit.

You see a slow-moving ship. You then watch a slowly-drifting screw. Then, at the moment they're shown together, you realize their relative velocity is like that of a bullet.

(Also, I love the anime. It tries to handle space with as much scientific realism as possible. Also, even though it frequently shows the worst aspects of humanity, it also shows the best, and overall is pretty hopeful about space.)
