Just finished the book. Really enjoyed it, I hope they keep a lot of the science in, that's what made it for me. Especially the fact that it was "realistic". There's no deus ex machina, just "This thing has broken/is a problem, I have the following things at my disposal, but if I use them in this particular way I have a solution". Leaves me thinking "yeah that's smart, I think that could work".
As an engineer myself, it's good to see things like that - not [this isn't a spoiler] Oh, what about food? Don't worry, the hyperfandandical discombobulator is just going to magic cheeseburgers out of thin f
king air.

Digging up the potatoes from the garden last week was somehow different to other years.
Still can't eat a baked potato without thinking about the book.He also didn't visit the film sets and didn't meet Matt Damon despite being invited as he has a really bad fear of flying.

"In your face Neil Armstrong" - Well that put me right off. Have a go at Dave Scott (did a naughty thing with stamps) or Al Shephard (Jumped the queue) or Scott Carpenter (Worst of the original 7 by a mile) but not Neil. No way, not Neil.
And then... Up pops Sean Bean. THE worst big (ish) name actor in all of history. I cannot think of a more famous actor or actress who is worse than Bean.
And... I really don't like Matt Damon/Mark Wahlberg (whichever this is). Spaceships look good though and a bit of Hendrix always goes down well.
It's going to be another Prometheus/Interstellar though. Visually impressive, but falling woefully short of being any good. To paraphrase Martin Sheen in Wall Street "I hope I'm wrong about this film, I really do".
