Scuttling is an old naval term, it's when you sink or irreparably damage your ship so it can't be used by your enemy.

DING DING DING Tori said it: Focus. The little bead-pills are 'focus-drugs'. IDK if any other name for them is used so you can just call them that. I also don't know if they are unique to Mars or if every planet in the system can get them. I've only seen Martians use them. Holden's little maneuver on the catwalk with Naomi was pretty consistent with real physics. His boots were turned off, so he kicked Naomi upward, causing himself to drift down so he could contact the catwalk and turn his boots back on, then he pulls her down and she turns hers on and they somehow finish their run without getting hit. This show did an even better job getting real physics correct than Babylon 5 did (THAT is one hell of a show too - don't let anyone tell you it's 'dated'!) You live on an Earth with about 8.3 billion people living on it. Jump ahead 325 years now to Jim Holden's Earth and we now have over 30 billion people here. About half of these people are on Basic Assistance; which is what Lopez and some other Martians talked about, calling Holden a 'Taker' who gets free food and drugs (he wasn't one - he lived in Montana with six parents). There are also lots shanty-towns sprouting up in major cities because there are too many people living in them. Yet there are still rural areas and wide-open spaces like we have today. Many people have skills that go to waste simply because there aren't enough jobs to fill. You got a quick introduction to Fred Johnson here too. Not a spoiler now to say he runs Tycho Station. He is also helping to construct the generation-ship, the LDSS (Latter-Day-Saints Ship) Nauvoo, which the Mormons plan to fly to a new planet around a new sun; supposedly a century (or more)-long voyage.
