What if the world's farthest and most dangerous space mission to save Earth had to be led by a school teacher? — I can't even moonwalk. — It's one of my favorite science fiction books, and now it's a movie with Ryan Goslin. But one of my favorite parts about it is the science in it is often very real. In real life, when we send humans to Mars, NASA estimates that it will take 7 to 9 months one way, and we're going to be traveling at 0. 004% the speed of light. But in the movie, Ryan Gosling's character has to go to another solar system. And his ship is traveling at way closer to the speed of light than we ever have. So for him, it only feels like 4 years when it actually takes 13. So how does he survive for 13 years? He doesn't use the classic sci-fi cryosleep thing. Instead, he's in a medicallyinduced coma being cared for by robots. That's plausible based on our current tech. We already keep patients alive in comas in ICUs. The sci-fi leap here is just the automation, but when he wakes up, he's alone. And the isolation is a problem. It's a problem in real life, too. In fact, NASA uses Antarctic expeditions to study this. This study found that after just 14 months of isolation, a specific part of the crew's brain needed for memory actually shrank by 7%. That makes solving mission critical problems harder. Which is why my favorite thing about this whole story is that he's not alone. So now he's solving how to save all of humanity plus an alien planet with the world's coolest alien. It's a huge adventure, but what I've always loved most about it is that it's a reminder that we can do hard things together. Go see it. It's amazing. only in theaters and IMAX on March 20th, 2026.
