Felt like this film was reaching deep into my psyche. Deserves every award for which it was nominated.
"An entangled satellite to communicate in real time with the colony on Mars." Yes that's subspace communications, friends. We are the only creatures we know of who make their dreams manifest.

OK, I really need to point out a gigantic hold in the logic of this film. At 5:00 he radios home to Earth and they answer in REAL TIME, with no delay. I've got to call bullshit as radio travels at the speed of light and communications between Earth and Mars takes upwards of 15 minutes round trip.

Ahah! But were you paying attention? What was this guy's mission once he got to Mars - what was he delivering? Clue - the answer is in the description.
If he was delivering one of those for Mars colony, I don't think it's a stretch to assume he would also have one of the suckers integrated into his ship's communication system.

No, I was not paying attention, I was skipping to the good parts. My bad.

Awesome work of fiction. Reminded me the story of Solomon Epstein from the book Leviathan Wakes.
