Also! I have said it before but it frustrates me so badly that it deserves its own post.
Stratt would have sent Grace if he had a wife and kids. Stratt would have forced him onto the mission if he had a beautiful family and a dog that loved him and parents he visited every weekend. At the end of the day it was always, always going to be the sacrifice of the few for the good of the many, and it would have made functionally very little difference if it was one man or a whole household. That line was not for her, or the crew, or any of the gaurds that she would eventually send after him. That line was for Grace, not to try to convince him that his life had no meaning, but to force him to confront that he had nothing to hide behind, to strip away his selfless defences before he could fall back on them, to lay out the problem as she saw it; him versus the world, him versus humanity. The reason that him 'pretending this is about the children' upsets her is because she has already tried to dismiss that, she has already hit that point, and the fact that he's returning to it with semantics tells her everything she needs to know.
