Hello

I onced begged to be able to believe in fairy tails now. I have found they can be real if you make them. 30F engaged to the man of her dreams

the idea that rocky was butt ass naked, including when he was around grace, is so silly.

imagine the hail mary is getting closer to erid—so close, in fact, that they're almost in orbit—and rocky just decides that now is the perfect time to put his clothes back on... and grace is just. shocked. he doesn't know what to do with the fact that he's been living with an alien—a naked alien—for the past few years.

one day grace hurts his right hand somehow and he's all upset bc he's like gosh dang it now i have to do everything left-handed. and rocky's like ?????still have other hand?? and grace explains the idea of dominant hands and rocky is like. you only have two hands. the FUCK do you mean only one of them can do anything

[7-inches-of-satanic-panic]

Eridians can't see*, smell, and hopefully can't taste. Does this mean they only have 2 fucking senses?

I thought Grace would already be freaky with just the ability to perceive light alone but it would probably be way worse when it gets learnt that he has three additional senses over Rocky and all other Eridians for that matter.

Like,

Rocky: Constructing the biodome will be easy. The only thing we'll struggle on is sight since humans have 3 senses instead of 2.

Grace: 5.

Rocky: what?

Grace: we have 5 senses. debatably 6, though its unproven. sometimes people even think we have a 7th.

Rocky: what.

Rocky, once again, being baffled and STRESSED about human biology and the things his human does to keep healthy i dont think mr "my whole crew died of radiation sickness" likes the fact that his alien and most things on his planet needs it for survival very much xD previous

One aspect of PHM that I’d like to see us address more is the fact that the Grace-Stratt betrayal is mutual, at least from Stratt’s POV. It’s clear that she’s furious at Grace in the book:

See it from her perspective: Stratt was conscripted into Project Hail Mary just as much as Grace or any of the other scientists who work for her. She has complied without complaint, even though it means putting thousands of deaths on her conscience, even though she knows she’ll be villainized by history, even though she suspects she’ll be imprisoned for life if not executed after launch. She sacrifices herself because it is what must be done to have the best chance of saving humanity. And when she asks Grace to make a similar sacrifice, he refuses. He refuses even though, unlike her, he won’t have to sacrifice his conscience and, unlike her, he’ll be remembered as a hero.

Now obviously, Grace deserved to choose his own fate and what Stratt did was wrong. She knows that. But she also sees Grace as astoundingly selfish for choosing himself over the entirety of humanity (even if some of that choice was motivated by a lack of self confidence) and, on a personal level, for refusing to see things from her perspective and sacrifice himself to spare her one more death on her conscience. Grace is betrayed when the closest thing he has to a friend murders him. Stratt is betrayed when the closest thing she has to a friend forces her into the role of murderer.

We as a fandom often wonder if Grace ever forgives Stratt. But perhaps we should also be asking if she ever forgives him.

A mini PHM comic about Grace growing old. I wanted to explore two ideas: Rocky dealing with Grace’s dementia and Grace wanting to donate his body to science. I spend so much time on figuring out the dialogue (some part still feel clunky to me) but I hope it express my thoughts on where I think Grace’s life would go :)

Title is based on a song by M83

We will always choose Earth / Moon Joy

Here's what I've realized from the Artemis II mission:

You cannot study STEM without the arts, and you cannot study humanities without the sciences. In that tiny capsule we sent to the moon, we sent physicists who are also photographers. We sent poets who are pilots.

We sent experts on exact scientific maneuvers who also express precise emotion and experience that will be quoted for decades. They play with a stuffed moon in the background of a broadcast and have Chappell Roan as their wakeup music. They drove around the far side of the moon.

We sent parents, partners...We sent humans, who are unabashedly showing their humanity and brilliance and vulnerability. They are smart and kind and generous and ambitious and silly and thoughtful and so damn good at what they do. And they want to share it all with us.

[composeregg]

The first conversation when Artemis ii came back from around the moon, after 40 minutes without contact, transcribed:

Christina Koch: "Houston, Integrity. Comm check." Mission Control: "Integrity, we hear you loud and clear." Christina Koch: "Houston, we have you the same. And it is so great to hear from Earth again. To Asia, Africa, and Oceania, we are looking back at you. We hear you can look up and see the moon right now. We see you too. When we burned this burn toward the moon, I said we do not leave Earth, but we choose it. And that is true. We will explore. We will build. We will build ships. We will visit again. We will construct science outposts. We will drive rovers. We will do radio astronomy. We will found companies. We will bolster industry. We will inspire. But ultimately, we will always choose Earth. We will always choose each other." Misson Control: "Integrity, from Earth, our single system, fragile and interconnected, we copy. Those of us that can are looking back."

"she holds the record for the most days spent in space by a woman!" this "she was part of the only all female space walk!" that, she's on the list of people who have spent the most time in space, period. she's spent more time in space than any of her crewmates - one of whom hasn't been into space at all. her time in space is only three days less than what all of her crewmates have combined. she has had as many spacewalks as all of her crewmates combined. she's not there because she's the best female nasa astronaut they could find and they wanted the diversity quota or whatever, she's there because she's part of the most qualified and experienced nasa personnel they could send up there
