To paraphrase the greatest business tycoon, S.R. Haddon: “Why ruin one reflecting pool for $13 million, when you can do it all over again for another $13 million… and no one can stop you.”

First rule in government accounting.”

To stay in the mood, the next day we watched "Contact" from 1977. A story by Carl Sagan about the contact with extraterrestrial intelligence. The movie leans heavily on the science part of sci-fi, due to Sagan's involvement, and because of that it aged pretty well. There is some CGI which got old a bit worse, but it's merely decoration to the meat here. I liked all this picking up the pieces together from the alien transmission. And catching the transmission in the first place.
