This world's a treasure, Donald. But she's been telling us to leave for a while now. Mankind was born on Earth. It was never meant to die here."Keyes does a great job of putting readers in the mindset of the characters and manages to create vibrant visuals and tense moments of action that play out in a very movie-esque fashion.”– Comics Online I wonder what you are doing right now. I hope you have found Amelia and you two are on another adventure into the depths of the space, with a little more honesty on your part, isn't that right Cooper, 90 percent? The nearest star (other than our Sun) thought to have a habitable planet is Tau Ceti, 11.9 light-years from Earth, so traveling at light speed you would need 11.9 years to reach it. If there are any habitable planets closer than that, they can’t be much closer. So, let's put things clear from now: If you haven't watched the movie, go do it before you read the book. I mean it.

But why this extreme reaction by a species that was not frightened even by Frankenstein’s monster? Presumably science/progress had something to do with unleashing the blight? My guess would be too much monoculture. I really dont usually go for novelizations , i dont even do this movie-book sequence because as books pave the way for the movies , on the contrary movies literally ruin books for me . Now, you may have small amounts of money—tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars—spent on this, but nothing is wrong with that. Peer-review, at least in the United States and in Europe, is too strong for there to be any danger of millions or billions of dollars being spent on these things. The technology required for wormholes is so far removed from our current and plausible near-future capabilities that to throw lots of money at it would almost certainly be a total boondoggle. We used to look up and wonder at our place in the stars,” he said. “Now we just look down and worry about our place in the dirt.”And whoever They are, They appear to be looking out for us. That wormhole lets us travel to other stars. It came along right as we needed it.” So why focus on wormholes at all if they’re so out of reach? What should someone do if they’re really inspired by the film and want to personally contribute to bringing something as wild as interstellar travel closer to reality?
