What the Movie Armageddon Got Right about (Space) Drilling Which Wasn’t Much

An interview with NPR at the occasion of the movie Armageddon’s 20th anniversary, where Dr. van Oort explains what is right (not much) and wrong (a lot!) about the movie, and how it paints a distorted, unflattering view of the drilling industry. Moreover, drilling in space is a real thing – it already is, and will be more important in future.

Link the the 2018 NPR piece is here.
