He then argued that NASA should've used the Earth's movement to launch the probe faster, that Gravity from the Sun wouldn't slow it down, and that it should've gone to Saturn at full speed all the way. needless to say I didn't get very far -_-;. Anyways, as to why, I think he just wanted to feel that he had outsmarted NASA ("Look, they could've done this much faster if only they had ignored the laws of physics.").
