Sunshine : Subliminal shot…what is it?
Re: Subliminal shot…what is it?
It's the crew of Icarus 1.
Exactly.

Re: Subliminal shot…what is it?
What is the point or context? Just to make it feel like more of a ghost ship?
I can't believe I never noticed that before.
To anyone confused: as the flashlights wipe across the screen, during the entry into Icarus I, there are frames inserted of the Icarus 1 crew. There are alot of these wipes and there are images in all of them.
Freakin' crazy
Edit: I guess my question now is whether or not that was always there, or if I'm seeing a different cut for the first time.

We see those pictures of the crew of Icarus I while they still were happy and excited about their mission. There's a picture of Icarus II's crew too and now we can guess what their fate is

It's not really "subliminal", because they are easily noticeable; or at least I had no trouble noticing these shots when I watched the movie for the first time. (I watched the movie on DVD; maybe it's different when you're watching a downloaded digital copy with a lower framerate.)
As has already been said, they are flashes of a group photo of the crew on board of the Icarus I. One of the astronauts (I think Mace) finds the picture on the wall.

The flashes show a caucasian guy, a black woman, Captain Pinbacker (twice), an asian woman, and an asian guy (so that's only five of the eight crew members).
The Icarus II had a similar photo onboard, featuring its crew:

The main difference between the photos is that the Icarus I crew is celebrating (what seems like) a sunny holiday, while the Icarus II crew is celebrating Christmas. So Icarus I is celebrating summer or the Sun, while Icarus II is celebrating winter or Jesus' birth. (Note that Icarus I failed because the crew lost confidence/faith in the mission, while Icarus II persevered and ultimately succeeded; but apart from that, the missions were exactly the same.)

Subliminal shot…what is it?
Anyone can cap the frame? It's definitely there.
Edit: I think it's 'Searl'?, the psychologist, but I don't understand why
Edit 2: there are actually a lot of cuts in this scene as the flashlights wipe around the screen. Lots of faces. Really weird.
Edit 3: Oh wow, there is a ton of stuff hidden here. It's the crew of Icarus 1. Super weird.
