I'm keen to see how they explain Alpha Centauri heading our way at a
speed that would get it here within any reasonable timeframe.

Do you think it would be in poor taste to show up at the premiere in a
wheel chair and start yelling at the audience that you are richer than
all of them put together and you hope they all get burned to death when
Earth is destroyed, for there is no room for the filthy poor on the new
