So then he, an astronomer, has a basic misunderstanding of the amount of resources the universe holds. I’m guessing that isn’t the case and he means money.
He is trying to word a message that can be understood by people who don’t know enough about science to understand how much energy it takes to move a tiny bit matter to lightspeed, or that we still don’t have a theory for faster than lightspeed travel that doesn’t break the known properties of the universe.
In this context “money” is shorthand for resources. He’s not talking about literal coins and banknotes.
