Yes.

Spaceships "whoosh!"

And when they whoosh you can see the stars zip by them in a near 3D effect. 
Despite the fact that in reality the nearest star is light years away and the 
stars would appear far away and not moving through the sky, just as we see them 
from earth (which is in fact whooshing through the cosmos as we speak - at 
least it better be!).

cheers,
frank

The job of the foley artists is to provide the sound the audience
expects - or whatever will emphasize the action on screen - not
provide *real* sounds. That's why we get spaceships making whooshing
sounds in the vacuum of space and handguns making the sounds of field
artillery.
