      God sent his son Jesus to die for our sins on the cross. This was the ultimate expression of God's love for us. Then God raised Jesus from the dead on the third day. Please repent and turn to Jesus before it is too late. The end times written about in the Bible are already happening in the world. Jesus longs to be with you and he is waiting for you with open arms but time is running out.

      I love it as well and you can see the dichotomy between the director and the cinematographer ; the former focusing on the bigger picture and what that one shot meant to him as he was putting together a movie and the latter almost nerding out over the technicality of a shot and all the moving pieces needed in order to achieve that shot and create art.

    Small correction. The photovoltaic radiators are just the ones further out on either side of the truss. As the name implies, they reject heat from the photovoltaic systems (solar arrays).
    The photovoltaic radiators system is distinct from the standard radiators that reject heat from equipment internal to the space station such as this networking array.

      @@michaelpigue5272 totally - I saw it on IMAX, and I don't think I've ever been so blown away by a moment in film - the revelation that DV is essentially a horror movie slasher - also the terror of the guys bravely facing him, and making the ultimate sacrifice to get the plans out of that airlock is really moving. As great as OG star wars is, the DV entrance is pretty wooden, guys get blasted, but it doesn't really have stakes in the same way, it's fantasy, this scene made it feel more real, and all the more gripping and scary as a result. DV is like Jason Vorhees!

      I hear you. If we look at the last 4 or even 5 decennia other music becomes closer to cinema. Philip Glass, Wim Mertens, Ryuichi Sakamoto and more recently Jonny Greenwood just to name a few. But where jazz had time to become accessible and even mainstream, these newer movements, as beautiful and effective as they are, are not yet part of the common cultural sense. What would your choice of music be for film fandom? What's your personal musical background?

      @@roel.vinckens definitely good points! I think what I associate with film nowadays are modern orchestral scores. the likes of zimmer, giacchino or the many great japanese film composers created numerous great pieces that could be used instead of a generic jazz song imo for a better effect.
      it would add a sense of epicness, wonder and "sturm und drang" which is how cinema should be viewed rather than the feel of an "adult conversation between intellectuals" :D
      as for my musical background, it is a lot of things at once but everything can be found within the umbrella of metal. and while I know it does take effort to find a way past the stigma, let me tell you you won't find more musical diversity in any other genre. especially in progressive metal you can find every sound or style you can imagine. some artists managed to sound very "cinematic" over the years such as wilderun, opeth, leprous, karnivool, between the buried and me or ne obliviscaris. let's not forget trent reznor tried to get into film composing and he did pretty well^^ it's not too outlandish of an idea.
