According to Andy Weir's Eridian biology document, Eridians are better multitaskers than humans will ever be, but the trade off is they're physically incapable of locking in. SO funny to me. Yes this species can build a diorama while simultaneously blitzing through mathematics equations and also partaking in intense gossiping, but they cannot do any of those things for longer than, like, half an hour without going crazy. Species of supercomputers cursed with the TikTok attention span.

Rocky mocks Grace when he says that Rocky is distracting him by starting complex conversations while he's Trying To Do Science. "Human brain have to stop activity just because talking question? Useless! One track mind!"

Then Grace is on hour six of his "trying to recreate skittles" hyperfocus and Rocky is like What The Fuck. Statement.

Yeah human brains can only do a single very consuming task at a time but it can do it for a very long time. The one track in our one track minds spans multiple countries. Persistence predators, babey.

I'm obsessed with how utterly human Project Hail Mary feels.

Everyone can understand Grace's point of view of wanting to live, begging for his life. Everyone can also understand Stratt's choice to send Grace into space.

When Grace successfully proves that the taumoeba will eat the astrophage, it's not a big, brilliant moment with epic music and intensity. It's quiet. It's painful because Rocky may still be dead. It's a sigh of relief after so never ending tension and exhaustion that feels earned.

Grace is clumsy and awkward. He's silly and uses jokes to cope. He gets emotional and he gets scared. Just like any normal person, he's not a stereotypical hero but, instead, is undeniably human in everything he does and says.

Each victory Grace and Rocky get feels earned. Nothing is forced for the plot, nothing is rushed for convenience. We see them struggle and win through sheer determination and bravery.

It's such a beautiful movie.

The hope you feel while watching it is so thoroughly human. It's not cheap or fabricated. It's real.
