While she was working on Hubble, there was dialogue to the effect that they were making upgrades to the telescope which were based on some advanced medical imaging technology, and that Bullock's character was a doctor who was "the expert" (exact quote from CAPCOM) on said technology.  I feel like I'm the only person…

But Dawkins really is a dick about his atheism, and I wonder to what extent that dooms him to (no pun intended) preaching to the choir, as starting a conversation by essentially saying "You're an embarrassing fool" isn't a good way to win people over.  I get that it's entertaining if you're already on his side, but…

And they would be rightfully mocked. For that, and for studying things like "The penis is the square root of negative one" without punching their professor in the face.

Disagree about the hair. They kept Bullock's hair short because to have it long and moving all over the place would really have distracted the viewer from the story.  The way it was in the film, it wasn't far off from reality in a way that mattered.

Strip mining populated planets for minerals is probably the ultimate nitpickable trope.  It's like running past 1000 piles of diamonds laying on the sidewalk just to mug a woman for her engagement ring.
