He said the asteroid in that movie is supposed to be the size of Texas but they fly a shuttle to it in what looks like a day, and when I looked it up the real distance is 240,000 miles, so now I keep pausing movies to check if the math works and I need to know if anyone else does this or if I've just ruined space films for myself.
