More About FTL:
Ethan Kane, a NASA Astronaut and decorated pilot, has recently retired from active duty to spend more time with his wife and young son. As he tries to adjust to a quieter life on the ground, he’s approached to fly one last mission...testing the first faster-than-light spacecraft. While the world watches, Kane takes The Longshot on its maiden voyage.

i think what the best part about this short is that this short is humanity's first FTL and first contact and from the alien point of view, they were simply responding to a distress call and returning the "alien" back to his home planet. Nothing more. nothing less. Just being decent neighbors.

It felt painful to watch the astronaut looking at his family's picture thinking he was about to die far from home and loved ones. Then comes the relief the aliens were actually there to help him return home. Unknown actors,and maybe small budget and I'm no film expert but this felt like a blockbuster.well done.

That's only if he is physically there. That little holographic shutter in his face makes me wonder if that's actually him, or a replication of the exact way the molecules formed his physical form in OUR reality. Have a feeling he disintegrated somehow by the things he made contact with. Did they just break him down, then light travel his particles back down to his home? Plus, if we could travel near (not at the SOL) the speed of light and back, wouldn't time have passed very differently from his location to earths? Like, in the edges of the gargantuan black hole's event horizon, time and space are being warped so drastically that every hour that passes there equals 7 years back on earth. I'd imagine light travel affects in someway space and time in very strange ways. Did you know that even astronauts in real life that have gone to the moon and back, they've technically altered their own age in comparison to how time passes here inside of our earths gravity. A certain one, can't recall his name but famous. After he came back, he was actually a 6th of a year younger than he was when he went into outer space. So technically traveling at the speed of light is time travel.

the ending is immaculate.. high possibility to happen on the first contact with higher type of civilization (type II of kadarshev scale) no drama or even politics.. they just doing what need to do to scale up.. they find stupid human, and send them back 😂, this short movie made us think, what actually hold us back.

Well, it still kind of is, albeit very lowkey. For one, first contact, which is always going to be a scary scary thing, throwing out everything we knew about ourselves and the universe. They brought him back, but as seen in the last few shots, he is changed, how? We don't know. Maybe he is now their first ambassador. Maybe the aliens only waited for us or any other species to make the barrier past FTL. Its not outright horror, but its definitely spooky.

@IronLion Ofc, but that feels most believable on the outset when the ship was in HEO before the jump. We understand that short range is quicker because of our nearby satellites. Whereas real life physics involved is similar to what has to be done with the Mars rovers. It's like you said, to convince the audience that such communication over that kind of distance can happen that quickly ...is a stretch. Unless they've already deployed a string of sats before this mission of course. I don't doubt the tech is super advanced though, and overall I liked the short film a lot. I'll be watching much more of these. They're cool!
