Man voyages into the unknown to gather evidence of a once vibrant planet.
If the Earth is dead with no life, why are they headed into the unknown to find a once vibrant planet Well, Earth is dead, but I hope we find a planet that had a lot of life in the past.
--
The movie appeared to about making one safe FTL jump, severely damaging the ship on the next, and killing oneself on the third.
There is no connection between the lead-in text and the rest of the movie, which seems to have no point.

Once again, Dust comes through with a depressing Black Mirror story. Beautifully produced, but this is simply not the sort of thing we need.
Anyone who has ever played a sport will tell you that you won't be able to put the ball where you want it if you're not looking at your goal. What you are more likely to do is put the ball where you are looking.
The rest is left as an exercise for the reader.

Nice, but in 2183 the Earth will still be in excellent health, I think you could date this kind of film to tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of years ahead. Also, I think interstellar spaceships will have such technology that there will be no more switches and buttons, but everything will be touch screen or maybe even holographic touch.

When the first CGI was used in a feature film 10 minutes needed a 1/6 of intire budget! today is just 1/35, in a decade it will be 1/260 and in 20 years it will be a fraction of that for all CGI movie, the expensive stuf will be renting the faces of knowed actors(SORRY FOR MY ENGLISH BUT IS NOY MY NATIVE LANGUAGE)

It means far distant aliens can never see us. When they see toward earth, they will see light emitted from earth millions of years ago and they will think, there is no intelligent life on earth or no life on earth, whatever there was a millions of years ago.

The best movies are almost ALWAYS based on established concepts ( _sometimes_ previously presented in whole or in part. ) viewed in a different perspective, and this short really IS something that could form the basis for an EXCELLENT full-format story!

Character motivation makes no sense. The pilot would already have had access to millions of pictures of green Earth if he wanted to know what it looked like. He sacrificed his life to see something he would already have seen 1000 times before.

What a great film. The astronomer's decision to proceed farther from Earth, though it will be his last act, so he can see it in the more distant past and perhaps get a glimpse of life, is both heartbreaking and life-affirming. Well done.

Good video. Like most sci-fi, however, it depicts traveling through hyperspace as a violent shaking. It is more likely, however, that since 3D space which contains the matter is completely avoided, then it should be smooth sailing.

With his spacecraft & his super telescope he jumps farer and farer away till he may see the blue earth, filled with live even if it costs him his own live; how inconceivably valuable it must be for him. May God receive his soul.

Sooo. they tried looking at other prospective home planets and found NONE. This is the only reason I can think of, that they expend resources to look back in time when earth was still a viable home.

The 'futuristic space craft had CRT displays and switches and knobs from the 1990's.
It had an ineffective shield which allowed a destructive penetration. Does hyperspace allow travel back in time Dont think so.

The day will come when people will look back through space and time to witness what we once were, peering into the abyss. The abyss appears to return our gaze.
These lines are so captivating!

space movies are fun while eating popcorn but be aware that travel to 'outer space' is not possible. you live on a flat plane covered by an impenetrable dome. there is no outer space. it's all fiction

So his space craft crashes into Earth and releases an alien toxin he had no idea he'd picked up in his time travels. That toxin kills all organic life on Earth. Time Travel Paradox!

You've got to take calibration frames, darks-flats-bias. Apparently it's a lost art by this time in the future. Biggest telescope, no idea how to use it.

It would cost trillions to build a intergalactic ship that could be obliterated by any space junk you would run into on your destination

Great sci-fi. I took a vicarious journey into space through time with a knowledgeable space traveler. The cinematography is impressive.

Sadly that's probably exactly the same backward thinking, navel gazing kind of nonsense that killed earth in the 1st place.

This is an excellent story. The production is lacking, but not the acting. Worth your time.

Good to know that there is still duct tape used in the future, but sadly no knowledge of how to wear a wristwatch.

Enormous use of resources so one guy can have a nice view and die happy. Demonstrating why Earth died.

Just give everyone capes and magic wands and be done with it.
