Overrated movie. I’ll take real science and progress any day over imaginary nonsense that’ll never happen.

A world with only “real” science and progress but without any entertainment would be quite boring.

And fiction has been key to inspiring the next generation of scientists/engineers. So many NASA people have claimed to be inspired by Star Trek just to pick one.

The black hole simulation for interstellar resulted in 3 highly regarded scientific papers.

Why is this even a comparison? India only went to the moon, interstellar had to go to other freaking solar systems and a black hole to make their documentary!

Some houses cost less than Indian space agency spent on getting to the Moon? That must be a typo right?

Yes and it’s incredibly annoying to me. More. Some houses cost more than Indian space agency spent on getting to the moon.

I mean, it’s still a valid sentence. Some houses do cost less. We’re just defining the word some so loosely it’s almost insulting.
