question:  How did the Quest III crew feel as they first approached the Sun?
context: In the last hours the star ahead had grown brighter by many magnitudes, and had changed its color from a dazzling blue through white to the normal yellow, of a GO sun. That was the Doppler effect as the star's radial velocity changed relative to the Quest III , as for forty hours the ship had decelerated. They had seen many such stars come near out of the galaxy's glittering backdrop, and had seen them dwindle, turn red and go out as the Quest III drove on its way once more, lashed by despair toward the speed of light, leaving behind the mockery of yet another solitary and lifeless luminary unaccompanied by worlds where men might dwell. But now unwonted excitement possessed the hundred-odd members of the Quest III's crew. For the Quest III was coming home; the sun ahead was the Sun, whose rays had warmed their lives' beginning. At the voyage's beginning eighty per cent of the fifteen-hundred-foot cylinder had been engines and fuel; but as the immense stores were spent and the holds became radioactively safe, the crew had spread out from its original cramped quarters. As the Quest III's fuel stores and the hope of success in man's mightiest venture had dwindled, so the strength had gone out of him. Weeks and months had passed for the Quest III in interstellar flight while years and decades had raced by on the home world. "One light-day out from Procyon, the thirty-third day by ship's time since leaving Earth. If success comes there, a century will have passed before we can return to Earth; friends, relatives, all the generation that launched the Quest ships will be long since dead. "We face the unpleasant realization that what was feared is probably true—that worlds such as the Sun's are a rare accident, and that we may complete our search without finding even one new Earth. Certainly the building of this ship and its two sisters, the immense expenditure of time and labor and energy stores that went into them, left Earth's economy drained and exhausted.
output:  Eager but anxious to be home after many disappointing false hopes.
options:  Satisfied that they had visited many wonderful planets.  Eager but anxious to be home after many disappointing false hopes.  Dizzy from the many colors displayed due to the Doppler Effect.  Disappointed that Earth was still there.
