Lima's use of antimatter makes some kind of sense when a device labeled "antimatter catalyst" is shown. Rather than relying on earth for such materials some kind of reactor was developed to make the station relatively self sufficient.
We don't see the corpses in the Norwegian ship. We may be reminded of this when we get to see the corpses in Lima station.
Space Madness in a meta sense, the thought that actively or passively, humanity is being trapped on Earth.
The level of US Spacecom’s duplicity and coverup of the Lima project is of horrifying proportions. We know from the initial briefing by General Stroud that Spacecom knew the source of the pulses was the Lima Project. With the vast distance between Earth and Neptune in mind, clearly Spacecom had enough warning to issue an evacuation for its space located people and Earth's civilian authorities. Instead, the generals stood aside as a preventable disaster killed over 42,000 people. Many of them Spacecoms own personnel. What’s worse is based on news coverage during the moon flight, there’s still no public awareness of the cause. It is very possible the civilian governments have no idea of the truth. Keeping it this way explains both the draconian measures Spacecom took to hide Major Roy’s mission - and why he wasn’t prosecuted for the demise of the Cepheus’ crew. A trial which unearths these damning facts is the LAST thing Spacecom brass want.
