@@alectraproject to me that bit was more about the insight and empathy. While he did not like or even seem to understand what his brother was doing with that communication installation in the beginning, he knew it was important to him and let him tinker around with it anyways and then when the "state"(?) officials gave an explanation that utterly destroyed his brothers dream and sense of wonder, it was Earls empathy and love for his brother that drove him to try and reinstate it. Lets say there are two important parts to this story, having a sense of wonder at all and being able to endure that wonder of others even when you may not understand it yourself. May it be out of love or empathy or both.

Satellites have names and element set object numbers that are both distinct to that object. A broken apart rocket body would have two numbers for the two pieces.

I only watched this because I was waiting for my dinner, I had time to kill, I could've mowed the lawn, I could've strummed my telecaster, I could've stared out at this drab rainy Irish august evening and sighed despondently ,but no not me , I clicked on to this cinematic oddity and was left think...... Well I was left thinking and pondering , and on a rainy Irish august evening that's not the worst thing you could do, (pubs are closed anyway). Think I'll make a big ham sandwich and an even bigger mug of tae now and laugh at the tiny part I play in this universe, then it's off to bed and up for work and so onn ad infinitum..........

Wow! This is as light heartedly funny as it is tragically revealing of the human condition.

Pacing was perfect. A modern audience would call it slow, because many of them were raised on Power Rangers, Sponge Bob, and Backyardigans. The scene with the vehicles was reminiscent of the G-men from E.T. mixed with M.I.B. The score was superb, and reminded me of the quality of music from Kingdom Come: Deliverance.

This was cool! Alternate ending: seeing their milk cow & stud bull with one horn missing walk by at the end… wondering what meat they ate :)

All I can say is that this short was awesome! It was funny and real, the meat didn’t go to waste, and their view was spectacular. I also really enjoyed the end credits sequence. There is some real talent in putting everything together. Great entertainment for sure, I can sure see bigger productions in the future.

Great script, good acting, loved the W.I.B. and a general concept at the end which made me go all warm and fuzzy because the character was right. The Earth spins around the Sun, the Sun travels around the galactic centre. We're moving at quite a clip.
