I almost always watch the comments before I watch the video, and then watch at least a few minutes to see if the negative comments were just from bratty children or trolls.
This was not the case, so I did not watch it.
Thanks again to you brave souls who dared the unknown and returned to tell us that it kinda sucked.

This has been done before. Most people in the comments are missing the point (big surprise. The beeping is driving him mad. No way to shut it off, can't get away from it. In the end he starts clicking switches in order to make a song out of it. In other words forcing himself to love what would have driven him insane.

Mr. Whitman loses it in his own branded space capsule. HAL 9000 would have been laughing. The Blue Danube waltz (along with many other Wiener Walzer always expresses a kind of weightlessness or buoyancy. Maybe the excessive G-force trauma broke his brain. The alarm was very irritating. Nice job.

Have you noticed how often the sci-fi movies use a low rumble background noise associated with the ship There's no atmosphere in space. Sound waves travel through air. There is no low rumble. I think I read that one of the early tv shows started that. It seems all have copied it since then.

Come on, you people, it wasn't THAT bad! Provides some well-crafted cinematography and sporadic quality images, although I admit that the storytelling was kind of thin. Heavily influenced by 2001, almost a mini-tribute to it (and YES, 2001 is STILL the greatest SF-film ever made)

You've been arrested in a foreign country. At your trial the judge says if you take part in their Omega Space program and get launched in space for a week and a half then your crime will be forgiven and you can return home. Should have just served the time on Earth.

Looks very much like a Mercury capsule. Furthermore, in the first shoots we see the capsule turning round his own axis (which a Mercury did not, but so be it) But further on, this rotation seems to have stopped miraculously in all views we have relative to earth.

I thought he was in a test and they wanted to see what happens if sleep deprived and annoyed. He wasn't in space but a simulation. The SciFi part of this was that had he really been that annoyed, he would have gotten out of his seat and boot stomped it.

Seriously, if that guy couldn't handle a little beeping he'd never have made it through basic training. And the beeping would have ended most likely if he wouldn't be sitting there switching every switch, like he is insane.

Any warning in aircraft or space ship should have a mute button. In most modern Jets, audio warnings can be muted once they are acknowledged. This poorly made short video was extremely annoying.

The wiring in that thing looks like that car your friend modified himself in high school and thought was cool but had to tap the radio deck every few minutes to keep it playing.

his communications problems result from the mounting of the warning light on the 49 cent junction box with the knockout on the side.

Had to turn off the sound. There was an irritating beeping noise on the soundtrack. I mean seriously - I had to turn off the sound.

I thought it was going to turn out that he was some random guy having a dream about being an astronaut and the beeping was his alarm clock.

I thought the beep beep was going to be him in hospital for a bad accident or something like that. This was not one of your best.

Sorry but as for DUST, this is the poorest story that I have viewed. All others are top notch.
