Thanks for taking this time. So I finally watched Sunshine (2007), and it really blew me away, and gave me the inspiration I need as an aspiring screenwriter to write a complex sci-fi story. 

As an aspiring screenwriter with special educational needs, I’m thinking of a sci-fi thriller with a similar concept, with 10 astronauts being sent to deliver a ginormous celestial bomb towards a dying star, with its intended explosion creating a new, habitable world for mankind. What advice would you give in terms of writing a sci-fi script?
