The double failures of a clunky old oxygen generator and an exotic, but finicky, gravity control pod have conspired to weaken the resolve and psychological judgment of the crew and the film's protagonist, Major Syrtis. This means he has horrific hallucinations taht are centered around the artificial birth of the Christmas Baby. An alien super-being arrives and, with his otherworldly powers, fixes the oxygen generator, but it's the station's genius mechanic who fixes the gravity problem.

Notes
A Fantastical And Disturbing Humanistic Freakout! As much about bleak isolation as it is about exaggerated colorful optimism, the long awaited feature film by The Flaming Lips is set in outer space on the surface of Mars. And, in a way that crystallizes The Flaming Lips' philosophy, "It's magic and hard work that really gets the job done." Beware, it is a strange experience not meant for children, but for the inner child in all of us grown-ups.
