I was just thinking - it ought to be dull and commonplace. Same sunrise, over the same house, over the same tiny piece of England, every day for 200 years. But it is beautiful. I’ve travelled miles and was unchanged, when I could have been here and… transported. It’s no fault of the sun if the eye sees not its beauty.

DO YOU CARE ENOUGH?

there was a recent itv tonight episode about people in their 90s & this woman, 99 year old Margaret from Teesdale, who has spent her life documenting rare plants across the moors, posed this question, this plea, to us (the younger generations) and it struck me deep to my very core so i thought i'd draw her beautiful, hopeful face.

it's easy to feel hopeless in today's world, i know i struggle with it every day, but we all need to remember there is something about our earth worth caring about, worth saving, even something as tiny and seemingly insignificant as a plant up on a windy hill in the middle of nowhere...

if even one person cares enough then that will make a difference.

"Do you ever wonder if Grace's bike is still there at Grover Cleveland Middle School? Is it treated like a memorial for him after the annoucment of him volunteering to board the Hail Mary? Do you think his students visit it?"

**Spoilers for Project Hail Mary**

I like to think that once Earth receives the beetles and fixes the sun, they then send another beetle to Erid full of seeds, food, spices, and other care package stuff for Grace.

At that point, they won't know he's still alive, as far as they know, he probably starved to death by then. But Stratt insists they send it anyway. If nothing else, it can be a gift for their newly discovered neighbors, the Eridians. Afterall, what's more friendly than sharing food?

The Eridian scientists study the contents of the care package. It's full of shelf-stable human food that they do their best to clone/replicate for Grace. There are also some seeds that store well for the years of travel they experienced. Radish, lettuce, tomato, beans, etc. (Potatoes would be a great callback to "The Martian")

The Eridians are absolutely delighted to observe Grace grow a little garden of Earth plants. Rocky, Adrian, and any of their kids big enough to fit in xenonite EVA suits help him pollinate plants with little paintbrush-like tools. Grace keeps a few plants in pots so he can easily move them around and show them to his students.

Just finished rereading Project Hail Mary again and it’s really interesting that Stratt is not a scientist. She’s an administrator, a politician, a leader. Not a scientist. She’s surrounded by some of the smartest people in the world, and they’re speaking in very science-y terms, and she has no idea what is going on. So what does she do? She turns to Grace and asks him to explain it to her. And he does, he explains the very complicated stuff in a way she, a non-scientist, can understand, because he’s a teacher. That’s what he does. It works very well from a narrative perspective because you, the reader, also don’t know what all this stuff means, so Grace explaining it to Stratt also explains it to you. But I also think maybe this is part of the reason Grace became so important to Project Hail Mary, why Stratt dragged him around everywhere- and she really does take him everywhere with her- not in spite of the fact that he’s a junior high school teacher, but because of it.

I feel so many feelings about Rocky during the first contact. He wants to connect SO BADLY. Do Eridians have horror stories about scary aliens? If they do, Rocky doesn't care. He wants this alien to be friendly. He does everything he can to accommodate. Here, a little gift I'm sending your way at the speed you're comfortable with. Please be there. Here, the next gift is going right into your airlock so that it's easier for you to catch. Please don't fly away. You made a strange gesture with your limb, I'll make my robot make that gesture back. Please belive that I'm friendly. Here's a tunnel to connect us, I'll make sure you can breathe in it. Please come meet me. I'll let you choose the material for the wall separating us; I'll rebuild the whole wall if it makes you more comfortable, no trouble, just please let's talk. You're all alone on your ship, I can hear it, please come sleep here where I can watch you, it's unsafe for you to be alone. I'm alone and scared, it's been 46 years since I felt safe while sleeping, please please please watch me sleep too. I'm very vulnerable when I sleep and I trust that you won't use it against me. I want to visit your ship, am allowed, question? I'm moving in with you. Let's save the stars.

What I love about Project Hail Mary is that it’s not about seconds, minutes, hours or even days. It takes place over the course of many years. Not sure if that’s quite common in sci-fi though.

I guess spoilers for the book?

And despite such a long time, the stakes were kept high and there was an incredible sense of urgency. If they weren’t desperate, why would they pave the Sahara desert with astrophage farms and why would they blow up Antarctica. Both being huge things with irreversible consequences that take long time to take effect.

It was like running a race in extreme slow motion. They were working on things they couldn’t rush because if they did then it would all come to nothing but they couldn’t delay and actually spend proper time on it otherwise they’d all end up dead. But this rush was taking hours, weeks or even years to complete something. The way it was balanced is amazing.

Idk just amazed by the sheer scale of the timeline, especially in the book.
