The astronaut in the film played a vital role in saving the mankind, Chen said. "His sacrifice touched my heart. If I happened to face a similar situation, I would definitely make the same decision," Chen said.
陳冬說，電影中的宇航員是拯救人類極其重要的角色。他的犧牲讓我深受感動，如果我面對同樣的情景，我也一定會做出同樣的決定。

劉慈欣也是該片的監製人，因該片的上映，中國衛星發射跟蹤控制總局任命其為“航天文化大使”。劉慈欣因其科幻三部曲（《三體》）聞名。
Liu said the sci-fi industry is a barometer of national strength, and sci-fi films need the backup of a strong economy that allows astronauts to turn fiction into reality.
劉慈欣表示，科幻業是國家實力的晴雨表，科幻電影需要強勁的經濟來支持，這樣才能為宇航員提供讓科幻成為現實的條件。
His view was echoed by the film’s director Guo Fan, who said China’s space exploration would inspire the shooting of more domestic sci-fi films.
