This short bears the signature of all the great episodes in the collection - disconcerting, thought provoking, smashingly beautiful.
The animation and the story look very realistic. It's basically something that could happen next Thuesday, excluding the fact that the station is orbitting a planet different from Earth.
Of course my main question is - why, oh why, had the astronaut to do what she did? Couldn't she take off and throw the damaged backpack or at least the oxygen bottle? That would have got the jobe done, not to mention that she'd have two free hands to operate then.
Also opening a spacesuit in space doesn't seem like a very good idea. Even if it's divided into hermetically sealed sections, your limbs are continuous, so oxygen and warmth leaks are unavoidable.
Yet another wondering is - can you constrict and unfold your body and thus propel youself in zero gravity?
As you see, lots of thought provoking questions, which speaks well for this sci-fi short.
