He really appreciated that.

I appreciated him appreciating that.

We like to say this isnt a science fiction show.

Truth or Darius

This is a science fact show, says Shapiro.

Its a show about how the world reacts to an asteroid coming.

However, the problem then becomes, how will either one of those devices reach the asteroid in time?

And thats where the aforementioned 10 percent comes in.

Thats where the writers took liberties, both with the timeline and and how the thruster functions.

The one thing weve done is that weve compressed the timeline just for dramatic effect, says Shapiro.

Kruger adds, Since nobody has solved the EmDrive, our science is a little speculative.

So, we had to get creative and come up with a fictional way to crack the problem.

Again, the foundation for it is real.

Will Darius and Liam actually be able to pull off this impossible gadget?

Well, thats supposed to be the fun of the next few episodes.
