The story itself did leave a LOT of things unanswered, but in these cases I'm pretty swift to fill all the plot holes with basic logic without questioning the end idea too much so let's see if someone else has the same thoughts as me. :)
Personally I support the spacecraft theory even though the ending was SO corny that I kept facepalming myself while laughing. XD
1-2-13-14.
The "inside without an opening", "2 weeks coma" and "singel person" parts for me meant that the so called "deep space" travel was some form of teleportation since there was no mention of a spacecraft and maybe it only has capacity for one person.
Basically they were able to teleport us into the QUBE ship, but since this teleport may knock one out for several days2 weeks in our case we woke up only a few hours before the ship hits Earth.

??? Didn't you see all the qubes floating around in space and the big burning holes on the ship's sides? I'd say that thing was falling appart all right. :P
7-8.
Everything with a mass has gravity so the sheer size of that ship should give it it's own gravity, but even that wouldn't explain why it seems to mach Earth's so I'd say since those magnets seem to influence gravity itself there must be actual blocks that can create artificial gravity to help keep the ship itself intact.
On the ending screens I didn't see any thrusters on the ship so I think it might use some completely different method of propulsion that doesn't cause any momentum so the moment the "engine" stops the ship also stops on the spot.
3-4-5.
Yeah these parts require a lot of "let's say space" sooo...
Let's say the ship is unmannedexcept for those mechanical balls that sometimes seem to be somewhat sentient because the bloksmost of them not the ones that seems to be made of something solid and tied together by cables themselves are some form of artificial robots that form bigger structures if they combinethink Replicators from Stargate or a more advanced form of m-blocks.
Also let's say that the ship has all those useless parts like "escape pods", "puzzles" and "human signs" because the blocks based it on a human ship. Say a ship that went MISSING many years ago. With a human who's mind might've been scanned to find a new destination/goal.
Same with the meanings of the signs that might be from John's mind and as a human's mind tends to try and entertain itself if bored maybe he was able to influence the layout while scanned and thus ended up filling it up with a lot of "useless" rooms while trying to entertain himself.
9-10-11.
These are somewhat based on my previous theories so let's say those are correct.
Since the settings must be in the futureteleporting and such it could be said that they created a special plant/fungus/bacteria that can create ALL the needed nutrients a person needs to survive just from light and some "material"like those gels that plant saplings are put in so they can grow within a jar, or human "byproducts".
Even if we give logic a big stretch this shouldn't work for too long, but they DO admit that it shouldn't have kept him alive so long so this supports that the guy was found by the qubes and kept alive.
Based on all this, several years of captivity, brain scans and living off of a suit made nutrient paste I'd say John went crazy and just can't recognize that he isn't locked in a dark box.
12-15.
These two need such a huge stretch of disbelief that even I doubt them, but the best explanation is that Earth knew about the QUBE ship or at least the workings of the qubes for years before this and set up a plan to stop the ship once it targeted us.
So basically they knew how the qubes work and were able to build an "interface" into the suit that could manipulate themhence she said that she hopes we "still know what to do", they were able to learn the layout of the ship, see the pods, track our position on the ship and target a teleporting location from where we can reak havoc till we get out.
Okay so this is how I explained all the technical details. Please do share your own thoughts or ideas. :D
1) Somehow we're out of range of the Deep Space Network but not the ISS, which is only ~300 miles above Earth? But the Moon, our closest celestial body, is nearly 1,000 times farther away, and our character is supposedly much much farther, somewhere out in "deep space". We could be billions of miles away for all we know, so 300 miles is nothing in comparison.
2) The ISS seems to only able to talk to us for a couple minutes at a time, then is blocked by Earth for a dozen minutes. In reality, it takes the ISS about 90 minutes to orbit Earth. So at minimum, it should be possible to receive 30 minutes of communication at a time, describing who we are, what the mission is, why we're alone, how we got here in the first place, what the status/ETA of the qube is, maybe even work out a way to manipulate whatever sensor data our suit is sending back so we can communicate both ways?
3) An entire planet at stake, and it's fate is left up to a single man? It seemed quite clear they knew the trip to the qube would wipe our memory at best, kill us at worst, yet they only sent one person? Then they just waited two weeks for us to wake up? The important things we send into the sky usually have built in backups and redundancies, so that if one systems fails, it can return home for repairs instead of being destroyed in a crash. So either Earth scientists were just this desperate, or they somehow knew our character would save the day.
