7 points dig quite deep on the subject. The character building is very interesting, this paragraph is a bit spoiler so I put it under the spoiler line.

---------- A little spoiler----------

Searle embraces her own insignificance under the sun

Icarus spacecraft computer represents human industrial achievement

Capa went from valuing life (one hour phone call with family) to valuing greater life (final moments)

Corazon's care of the botanical garden symbolizes the fate of mankind / the oxygen necessary for survival

Kaneda Fatherhood and Sacrifice / Accepting, Learning or Inheriting Searle's Worship of Sunshine

Cassie Motherhood and the Spirit of Salvation / Ultimately saving Capa directly and indirectly saving humanity

Trey responsibility and avoidance of responsibility / or another kind of commitment

Mace responsibility and responsibility / or another water that escape / survival must (the waves calm me and the computer coolant is water too)

Harvey's Human Weakness

Pinbacker loses himself in the face of near-miraculous sunshine and pounces on God to be the last chosen

Sunshine quotes

  • Mace: Were screwed... one of us isn't anyway.

    Harvey: What happened?

    Mace: The airlock's destroyed. There's only one suit. Capa's taking it.

    Harvey: ...Why Capa?

    Mace: Because the rest of us are lower priority.

    Harvey: I'm Not A Low Priority.

    Mace: You're a comms officer on a ship that has no means of communication.

    Harvey: I am the captain!, The mission needs a captain to hold it together.

  • Cassie: You make it easy for him, somehow. Find a kindness.
