Not sure why he attacks religion so much rather than focus on science. Maybe it’s the attention he gets from making these statements.

prevailing on bad old NASA to spend untold billions of dollars to rescue Matt Damon who is running out of crap to grow stuff with.

Oh, it has been calculated down to the penny, how much we have spent rescuing Matt Damon over the years.

Costs of rescuing Matt Damon (2015 currency):

Courage Under Fire (Gulf War 1 helicopter rescue): $300k
Saving Private Ryan (WW2 Europe search party): $100k
Titan AE (Earth evacuation spaceship): $200B
Syriana (Middle East private security return flight): $50k
Green Zone (US Army transport from Middle East): $50k
Elysium (Space station security deployment and damages): $100m
Interstellar (Interstellar spaceship): $500B The Martian (Mars mission): $200B

You know they had to have the supply ship blow up just so the Chinese could save the day with a spare rocket convieniently on hand.

R C Bray killed it on Audible. Half of the pleasure of this wonderful book was his narration

Any amount listed is too much in his case.

I was generally unimpressed with the film adaptation. Especially the ending.

They had to do the Ironman thing. It was just too cool.

I just know it was some studio guy (maybe even Ridley Scott?) who said, “our hero hasn’t done anything heroic yet, so let’s have him do the Iron Man thing!” And a collective groan was heard ‘round the theater...

This is one where I was glad to have seen it before I read it. Therefore, I liked it.

Sometimes it works out that way :)

He did the same thing for Gravity a few years back.

I'm not going to give him a hard time. The guy's gotta eat. And keep up the payments on that mustache and haircut.

I was certainly surprised to learn that the Hubble space telescope and international space station were within fire extinguisher distance of each other.
