Very true. So what's your theory?

I don't have an exact theory, just the situation reminded me of some sci-fi plots, like "The Astronaut's Wife":

After an explosion in space and subsequent two-minute radio-out period, two astronauts return home to their wives. Slightly it's revealed that they're not the same as they were.

Across the stratosphere, a final message

"Give my wife my love," then nothing more

Far beneath the ship the world is mourning

They don't realize he's alive
