Neil deGrasse Tyson Calls Out Some Fuzzy Math in Prometheus

[JMH]

Everyone knows that sci-fi movies are going to fudge their science a bit, otherwise they wouldn’t be sci-fi.
That said, some fudges are just mistakes and they can be glaring if you know your stuff.
Acclaimed astrophysicist and meme Neil deGrasse Tyson — the man who called out Titanic for having “the wrong sky” — is still out there doing what he does best: Busting chops.
This time, he’s got Prometheus in the sights.

Thanks. NDGT is one of my favorite Astronomers and avid Scifi fan.

I was thoroughly disappointed with Prometheus. I saw it last night with a good friend and there was just something that didn't sit right with me.
