And apparently this movie, depending on who you listen to, just savages Steve Jobs, just makes him out to be the biggest reprobate that may have ever lived, just a horrible human being, inhumane, mean, heartless, no compassion, just the most rotten, vile guy you can imagine.

Would the movie be interesting if it made him out to have a pleasant, inoffensive personality?

It has frustrated me to no end that the space program was sidelined because that money could be better spent on social programs. When we walked on the moon, I believed by the time I was in my forties we’d be on Mars. Instead, I’m in my sixties and we can’t even get back to the moon.

If it takes a Hollywood movie to get people excited about Mars again, I’m all for it. We should have been there 10 years ago.

Why? The people who control space travel will control the next century, and they’re the people our grandkids will be working for. I hope they aren’t Chinese.

They showed Mark Zuckerberg to be quite awful in The Social Network, yet somehow the film wasn't anti-Zuckerberg in the end.

In the movie, Zuckerberg was sort of a rascal king or sacred monster -- somebody who wasn't admirable, but was in his own way remarkable -- and maybe they'll show Jobs in that light.

I would be worried about what one reviewer called "the screenwriter's signature verbal-diarrhetic dialogue," though.

We could go to Mars. What would happen there if we did ?
