I’m up for any space adventure you might like to throw at me, but when I see the words “Christopher Nolan” (Inception) and “a heroic interstellar voyage to the furthest reaches of our scientific understanding” not only does my brain explode just a little bit, but have to stifle a happy dance. These are the things Interstellar is to be made of.
Here is the press release.
