It’s a condescending response to a condescending attempt to correct an expert’s comment with something that wasn’t even relevant to what was actually being said. I don’t really like the appeal to authority, but the snark was deserved IMO.
Plus space being a true vacuum is a myth anyways. It might not be dense enough for sound to propagate, but there’s plenty of material out there. The Earth’s atmosphere actually extends past the moon and the Sun gives off a steady stream of particles that are the dominant force (besides gravity and planetary magnetic fields for those that have them) out to the Kuiper belt.
