After discovering the truth about the ship's malfunction and the crew's fate, Jim and Aurora decide to take matters into their own hands. They realize that the ship's autopilot system, "Arthur," has been malfunctioning, causing the ship to drift off course.
Jim, being an engineer, comes up with a plan to repair the ship's damaged reactor, which would restore power and allow them to send a distress signal. However, this would require him to sacrifice himself by venturing into the reactor room, which is filled with lethal radiation.
Aurora, who has fallen in love with Jim, refuses to let him go alone and insists on accompanying him. They share a heartfelt goodbye, and Jim enters the reactor room, while Aurora stays behind to monitor the ship's systems.
As Jim works to repair the reactor, Aurora realizes that she can't bear to lose him and decides to join him in the reactor room. They share a final moment together, and Jim completes the repair, saving the ship and its passengers.
However, the radiation proves too intense, and Jim dies in Aurora's arms. Aurora, grief-stricken, returns to the ship's control room and sends a distress signal, which is received by the crew of the Homestead II colony.
The movie ends with Aurora, now an older woman, waking up from hibernation on the Homestead II colony planet, surrounded by the crew and passengers who were saved thanks to Jim's sacrifice. She writes a book about her experiences and the love she shared with Jim, which becomes a bestseller.
The final shot shows Jim's spacesuit, with the name "Jim Preston" written on it, floating in space, symbolizing his sacrifice and the enduring legacy of their love story.
The ending is bittersweet, leaving the audience with a sense of hope and the power of love to transcend even the most challenging circumstances.
