    More About "We Choose to Go":
    When Angie Miranda first awakens onboard the Horizon, she notices something seems a bit…off. After taking her first steps outside her cryosleep pod, she discovers her crew mates have died in their sleep, and all the food onboard the ship is beyond expired. As she explores, she discovers that the ship has undergone a fatal mission error, they’ve not only overshot their mission to Pluto-but they’ve endured 60 years of directionless drift. As Angie tries to overcome the fatal scenario she’s in, she reflects back on the life she gave up on Earth in pursuit of this mission.

    Futuristic scifi deepspace travel + cryo-sleep = The same thing every time;
    Ship craps out, everyone else usually dies, lots of time passes, loved one left behind is long dead, and the survivor questions why they even did it in the first place.

    Congratulations to Marlene and her talented team. What I liked the most is how the scenes are woven together, which marry the present and the past in a masterful way. This puzzle is made up of pieces endowed with many feelings, some as powerful as love.
    "Love is the one thing that we're capable of perceiving, that transcends dimensions of time and space" from the movie Interstellar.
    I also really liked the spacesuits and the interpretation of the actress, a magnificent detail has seemed to me the realism with which the actress interprets the awakening of cryogenization.

      Based on the given responses, the AI is programmed to take things like human reactions into account, and probably uses a less robotic voice to put the users at ease.
      I actually don't think we'll want experts bothered by responses like "I'd rather not (tell you)" from our automated control/monitoring systems, but that kind of behavior is a believable future. (And, of course, a *conscious* machine intelligence has every right to control its own responses; but the AI doesn't _seem_ conscious to me.)

    From the beginning of humanity, there have been those who looked to the horizon and wondered what lay beyond. JFK's remark, we choose to go, not because it's easy, but because it's hard was accurate. The greater the challenge, the greater the reward. Or in some cases, the greater the risk, the greater the failure. Unless we take the challenge and face the risk, there's never a reward. I'll stick to smaller challenges though, like getting out of bed in the mornings. Enjoyed your video. Great work. Pretty well portrayed the emotions involved in such endeavors of our natural curiosity about what lies beyond.

    • @ZeoCyberG
      @ZeoCyberG Před 2 lety

      Deep space travel has multiple issues, lack of external power being one of them and being far from a star usually means the vessel will have to be very strict on conserving power during most of the trip. Another is you're reliant on what limited sensors, etc. the vessel has but they may not be sensitive enough to detect a issue right away, especially if everything was running on automatic systems on low power mode.
      Mind, there's no nearby reference points in deep space. So it could take decades before there's enough of a shift to notice you're not on course... Everything being light years away from you, a shift in position could be like telling if a grain of sand has moved by its diameter with just your naked eye... add everything is moving in different directions and gravity effects light. Further making it difficult for automated systems to be accurate enough to immediately notice a problem...
      Then there's simple reliability of technology, sensors can fail and backups may not kick in or do so right away...
      Early deep space explorers will be taking a lot of risks... and even if nothing goes wrong, the trip will take so long they can never return to the world they left...

    very nicely done , you can feel desperation and suspense :
    (although i must admit i laughed after seeing 40 dollar microwave used to defrost food abord so advanced cryo chamber equiped space ship)
    this timelapse would create a series of paradoxes and her situation might not be so critical after all : considering
    60 years is a long time - human technology is evolving and she already had working cryo chamber abord what is now an old ship -
    this ships engines might have taken years to reach its original destination , but engines also evolved in 60 years
    so modern space ship on a rescue mission receiving distress signal and locating her coordinates might get to her in a few days or weeks with more powerful engines .
    also the AI from XY years ago telling her that her situation is futile would also be obsolete by modern standards
    (because caltulations of that AI are based on technology and calculations about what humans were capable of doing 60 or so years ago
    not taking into account unknown technological progress) , kinda like the computers from 50s-60s are obsolete to our current machines .
    imagine sometime it the future we would send some multigenerational self sustainable space ship to reach proxima centauri in a few hundred years
    (its original passengers fully accepting they will never reach the final destination) ,
    but in 50 years or so the future humans on earth would manage to develop an engine capable of getting
    to that 50 years long travelling space ship in a year or two - imagine the situation and paradoxes this would create .
