The so called "hero" endangered the lives of his fellow astronauts and put the entire Mars mission at risk with his little stunt.

What happens when that bum ticker of his finally gives out a million miles out from Earth, huh?

How did he smuggle a two year supply of saline solution for his contact lenses onto the ship?

Vincent Freeman was a criminal who deserved to be caught and punished.

The average is 5.5? I thought it was 4. This is very unsettling.
in the movie GATTACA how come they had really powerful and fast dna analysis but screens and electronics too lovely to make for a clear id pic

how come they had to draw blood every time at the turnstiles when it was clear dead skin or any other poo poo would suffice

abble how come

Oh that was nothing, the teacher who showed us GATTACA had us reading old science fiction stories (like "Harrison Bergeron" and "The Veldt") and watching television adaptations of different old science fiction stories. The idea was to make us think about how technological advances might change life. He was a pretty pretentious dude, tbh

E: An example of the TV adaptations was one about this old woman who hired a doctor to keep her alive through her old age. The treatments leave her only a head hooked up to machinery, and she wants to die, but the doctor is greedy and is keeping her alive against her wishes for the money she promised him. Ring a bell for anybody?
