Synopsis/Details
In a distant future laboratory, astronomers Tyson and Johan discover that the Earth's Sun is quickly dying. With about two hours left until it fizzles out, and a limited number of escape pods, the scientists argue about how to proceed. Should a random sample of the human race be gifted the escape pods for the possibility to begin a new life, or should the families and loved ones be allowed to survive? In a conundrum of a moral dilemma, the deeply-rooted instinct for self-preservation is on full display among the arguments of the scientists. After bold discussions, and brash actions, what choice will save the future of mankind?
