Apr 10, 2017 at 18:06 comment added Paul Hm..I'm going to have to re-watch. I could've sworn the version I watched made reference to "their descendants" in the end narration. Granted, that was ondemand rather than in theaters so perhaps I got an extended cut.

Jan 5, 2017 at 18:12 comment added Rand al'Thor I've just made use of your answer on another site - I hope you don't mind.
Jan 1, 2017 at 9:00 comment added Valorum @LightnessRacesinOrbit - In the original script, it's mentioned that each voyage is separated by about 30 years. That's a plausible amount of time for a company to make long-term investments. Given that 5000 people are evidently willing to freeze themselves and give up their lives to go live on farms, it's hardly surprising that back on Earth there would be 30,000 people willing to help them. Note that it's Aurora (a deeply cynical hack) who accuses them to doing this only for the profit motive

Jan 1, 2017 at 4:08 comment added Lightness Races in Orbit I loved this movie. I really did. Naysayers be damned. But I will admit that the notion of a company whose motivation is purely profit, whose profit derives from sending ships back and forth on a 120-year voyage, really stretched credibility for me. How could any executive in that firm possibly have a vested interest in what they were doing? It's interesting because this will supposedly be how our businesses work in a few whatever years.
