For me it’s more about the spirit of the
people who do it.
Who do this type of thing.
That is why I wanted to make the movie.
I think that’s what’s so great about the
book is underneath all of it is the characters
great since of humor, and the way he handles
all these situations and how he’s pretty
unflappable.
Like that concept of self-sacrifice and that
willingness to put everything you know sojourn
everything in your life put the mission ahead
of everything.
And it’s all about pushing that envelope
to see, to further our kind of human experience.
And the survival of this species is dependent
on one day getting off this planet and going
out and we’re in the you know infancy of
that but in many ways it’s so dangerous
and it that explorer mentality that these
folks have it’s just awesome.
Hopefully the message in a movie like this
is one that really galvanizes participation
in stuff like this and makes people excited
about science.
I mean the writer of the movie when I first
met with him said I see this as a love letter
to science and that’s really what I want
to make and that’s a cool thing to put out
into the world right now.
I have four little kids and love it if they,
if something like this could be part of the
rest of their experience kind of push them
towards life in this type of world, that’d
be great.
Thank you for what you’ve done and what
you’re doing.
And those of us that aren’t brave or smart
enough to be doing this kind of work are extremely
grateful for the work that they’re doing
and we know how important it is.
