Hi
I've been watching this great movie at least 100 times. I really enjoy it
but I have few questions about it: 
1) Why the crew didn't stop the rotation of the comms towers?
Then the oxygen garden would be still alive.
2) When they boarded the Icarus 1, when Pinbacker sabotage the airlock, it looks possible for somebody of the crew to go back to Icarus 2 and bring suits. What Mace said that there is no way to pressurize the airlock again is not exactly true. First there are at least two airlock doors still working - one that Searle manually released, and one that keep Searle from venting into space. So it is possible to bring the suits, lock the first airlock door and create an space without air, unlock the second airlock door and use the air from Searle space.
There is another way to bring the suits. At the end of the movie - when Capa activated the payload he was wearing a suit before he was entering the payload, meaning that he managed to get of the suite, so there must be area in the payload that you can control the pressure.
3) How Pinbacker survived so long without a skin?
4) Wasn't it possible to move the Oxygen Garden from Icarus 1 to Icarus 2? Or to exchange the computers?
5) Why Icarus 2 didn't notify right away about the new crew member - Pinbacker?
6) Why Icarus2 didn't have any protection system against overheating? Currently most present CPU have such protection system
