Great film. Everything seemed realistic and legit until: *spoilers


She broke quarantine and sneaked out to take her daughter to the rocket. No astronaut would risk her fellow astronauts’ health and screw over everyone who was involved in getting her there over the years, just so she could make a promise to her daughter.

Great film but that scene is weird. And they left at night, came back in the day. And the taxi man waited? Did they not miss her at base?
