Neil Degrasse Tyson already covered the science of "Interstellar"

... but did he discuss the sheer stupidity of the pinging system? I ask because I haven't got around to watching that yet and, like, given the stakes and all the smart people involved you would think someone would have noticed.

Although maybe it was all just... the power of love.

Also can someone please explain to Christopher Nolan that if you show something poignant ad nauseam, it stops being fucking poignant.
