168

Why does NASA show the movie Armageddon as part of its management training programmes?
[The...] screenings are just a game for NASA’s space geeks: who can find the highest number of impossible things in the movie? The record, Feedback is told, stands at 168.
I’m a little surprised the total is that low, to be honest. Perhaps I need to watch Armageddon again.1

__________- On second thoughts, perhaps not. Deep Impact was a much more palatable take on the death-by-asteroid-impact sub-genre. If I must devote a couple of hours to a Bruckheimer explosion-fest, I’d much rather it was Con Air. Just as daft as Armageddon, but Cyrus the Virus was a much more enjoyable adversary than an asteroid the size of Texas. ^
