* ''[[Armageddon]]'': in which [http://filmschoolrejects.com/features/61-things-we-learned-from-the-armageddon-commentary-jkirk.php Ben Affleck asks the obvious question]:
{{quote|I asked Michael why it was easier to train oil drillers to become astronauts than it was to train astronauts to become oil drillers, and he told me to shut the fuck up, so that was the end of that talk.}}
** Although Michael Bay was actually correct on this issue -- in the real-world, NASA has used [[Wikipedia:Payload Specialist|Payload Specialists]] on the Space Shuttle multiple times, in situations where a warm body with a particular specialized skill set not available in NASA's normal astronaut corps was needed for a single space mission. And given that the drilling task in question required ''experienced, master-level'' oil drillers it would make more sense to take already-experienced drill crews and give them basic space training than it would to take experienced astronauts and try to instantly turn them into master drillers.
