Obviously, this film wants to express the story of researchers who sacrificed their lives in order to explore the unknown. However, such a sacrifice is not in line with the spirit of spaceflight. The spirit of spaceflight emphasizes people-oriented, foolproof, and the last goal on the task list is always "safe return". That is to say, even if none of the original goals are completed, as long as the final personnel can return safely, the mission is successful. Otherwise, even if all the original goals are completed but all the people are dead, the mission is a failure.
So, this mission was a failed mission because everyone died (although I don't know if anyone on the orbiter survived). Although it accomplishes all its original goals, and it does so well.
The main reasons for the failure are some human errors that do not conform to the spirit and operating procedures of spaceflight, including:
1. The astronaut did not fasten the safety rope in accordance with the operating procedures when leaving the capsule.
2. Katya violated the rule that "two or more people must go together when leaving the cabin" and chose to act alone. At the same time, no one else on the spacecraft took the initiative to stand up and travel with her. This is not in line with the spirit of spaceflight. Solidarity.
3. When Katya went out of the cabin, she did not return after completing the established mission. This is obviously a risky behavior and violated the foolproof spirit of spaceflight.
4. During take-off, the operator did not check whether the system of the spacecraft was normal according to the checklist, which was undoubtedly a violation of the operating procedures.
5. It seems that this flight did not leave any crew on the orbiter, which is a serious violation of the principles of spaceflight.
These are the only causes of the accident that can be found out. In fact, hydrazine will evaporate completely in the absolute vacuum of space, and there is no problem of sticking to the surface of the f astronauts' clothes.
Then, analyze it from the perspective of artistic effect
The nature of this film is similar to "The Last Push", this kind of documentary filming technique using the fixed camera on the spacecraft is very clever, to be honest, when I watched this film, I had to remind myself "this is just a film" Movies", this method gives people a very strong sense of reality, in line with the science fiction spirit of "writing the wildest imagination as real as the news". At the same time, the film used this method to successfully capture the true meaning of spaceflight: spaceflight has never had any plot, and it has never been "absolutely safe", and people in spaceflight must always be vigilant to ensure the mission. success. Moreover, it can be seen that this film has done a good job in the details. You can look at the data displayed on the screen, such as the amount of oxygen, radiation values, etc., which are consistent with the situation described by the astronauts.
As an aerospace student, because of my interest, I like watching movies about spaceflight very much, but I don't like watching movies about fighting with people, or fighting with aliens. Because the true meaning of spaceflight is not fighting, or in other words, the biggest opponent of astronauts will never be aliens, but the space environment. In my opinion, the stories of those astronauts fighting against the sinister environment in space, turning the tide and helping the building fall, are more poignant and laudable than defeating aliens. The phrase "all systems are normal" is far More sweet than "We Victory", but there are very few such movies now, the true meaning of spaceflight should not be forgotten in the battle with aliens but should be remembered forever through a movie of this type. From this point of view, the movie is a good one. 10 points of praise.
