The Science behind Duncan Jones' "Moon"


I loved this movie, but in doing research for my novel, I was troubled by the science behind the cloning. It seemed too easy, but I was hopeful. Ultimately, this article helps to validate my concerns. It is a good read; not the fundamentalist tech outrage that you tend to get in other articles. It celebrates what this movie achieved. It swoons over Rockwell's performance, and the 'magnificent desolation' of the moonscape. Then, and only then, does it launch into its fercocious investigation of the research behind the story. Very informative and helpful.
