He does casually brush it off, and money isn't a scientific reason to dismiss anything. I'm skeptical too, but this was a terrible approach.

Money represents effort and resources, so while it is worded flippant it is a valid point that we shouldn't assume interplanetary flight is just a weekend away for aliens.

We don't know the conditions on that theoretical alien world. They could be post-scarcity, or alternatively, they could be threatened to the extent that no cost is too high.
