and try to play with it? It was ludicrous when the moron "scientist" did it in Prometheus, and it looks equally stupid here.
This is your brain on drugs with salt and pepper and a little bit of Tabasco.
Well Prometheus was a financial success and got good reviews (at the time). Perhaps they hope no one will notice.
Whatever you are, be a good one.
The reason it's so dumb, especially his "wondrous" face while doing it, is because the writer and director could have had the same sequence and storyline and outcome without it being dumb. There are many ways he could have gotten "attacked" without him being so dumb, that's the real problem, that's why it's so cringeworthy.
The amazing thing is they thought it was exciting and scary, which is hard to believe considering it is a tired old trope. One can only assume that writers and producers believe their "new" core audience has never seen this trope in a sci fi film before. I find that hard to believe, even if you are 9 years old.
Yes, that was ridiculous. It seems that the chief qualifier for going into space in a movie is that you're an idiot.

Because, as another thread so aptly notes, everyone in this movie was stupid.
