OPTION 2: if option 1 doesn't work, try putting the writer in rice.

Can we talk about how Project Hail Mary is inherently a story about wonder and kindness? It is a story where there is no villain. It is everyone against the problem, not against each other. Even the Astrophage would have been humanity’s greatest stroke of good luck in history if it weren’t dimming the sun. It would have solved energy.

Book-Grace first wanted to get more involved in Project Hail Mary, not because he wanted to redeem his sullied academic reputation, but because he realised that if no solution is found, the children in his classroom will grow up in hell. They will have to become the generation that has to bear the brunt of the nightmare of the sun dimming. In a way, leaving the classroom and entering the lab to study Astrophage was his first selfless act in the story.

The astronauts who were assigned to board the Hail Mary partied and discussed how they wanted to die while laughing, not because they’re just stupidly brave, but because they know what their sacrifice means. They get to protect the people they love. They get to protect Earth. And they get to do it together. So what else can they do but laugh about it? Why not drink and sing and dance and experience being human as much as they can before they go?

And Grace cares so much too. He feels defined by his failures. His theories were wrong, he was kicked out, he settled as a middle school science teacher after his partner left him because he couldn’t stop dreaming of science that others called crazy. He has insane imposter syndrome. He was dreaming of what lies beyond the stars his entire life.

And through all that he was chosen to be placed aboard the Hail Mary from pure happenstance. He’s knowledgeable in the relevant branches of research, he’s already involved in Project Hail Mary, he has no friends, family, or even pets. But he was still a person who wanted to live. So he had all the reason in the world to sabotage the mission after waking up and regaining his memories. After all, he was going to die in space anyways; what’s the fate of Earth to him? Why should he care about saving their sun after they left him to die in the vast abyss of space lightyears away from home?

And yet, he doesn’t. He does his best, risks his life, to find a way to save Earth. Because it’s the right thing to do. Because they sent him up to his death, but they sent him with handmade quilts and shirts and drawings and every useless little piece of knowledge humanity has ever accrued and data-return pods named after band members as a bad pun.

Because he meets a friend to be brave for.

Grace finds beauty in the Petrova line made up of Astrophage light that’s eating their sun. He finds beauty in the Tau Ceti sun’s swirling surface. He befriends Rocky and chooses to die for the mission before Rocky offers fuel.

And Rocky, too, chooses to befriend a leaky blob alien decidedly lacking in limbs. He places himself in danger to save Grace because they’re friends. He shares fuel and chooses to go home slower, if at all, alone.

Connection and kindness and science is universal and real. End note.

here are MY reasons why i know in my heart and soul ryland grace wears his glasses like that - as somebody who also wears glasses all stupid and dumb due to learned behavior from their mother and habit (knowledge of ryan gosling being a goof aside)

grace is farsighted!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! he only needs glasses in order to do close up work y'all hes always looking over the edge of em like at students in back of class or across the leisure deck on the ship at eva singing, and when they're on they enlarge his eyes bc they're convex lenses

the pads of the glasses get caught in your hair if you push them up on your head like a majority of glasses users do so you. dont do that. you don't because it hurts to yank em out and also you break the nose pads of your glasses.

sensory issues. brother sometimes the weight of my glasses on my nose and cheeks physically IRKS me. like the equivalent of lowering the radio to see better when driving type of sensory issues when I get annoyed /overwhelmed those puppies have to come off.

if he took them off fully he'd lose them. adhd or whatever aside, hes moving a mile a minute. but bulk why doesn't he just put them on his shirt? the man who wears collared shirts and ties to work ?? he cant put them on the collar of his shirt so the habit evolved. to. well this

he saw a student do it one (1) time and so he started doing it to match their vibe and then the habit stuck. be careful teachers it happens more than you think.

"The fun thing for us for that end sequence was his costume -- what he would have left over from the ship. I don't really think you see it in the film but the trousers that he's wearing, they're cut from one of the flight suits. And we've done a belt buckle that's made of xenonite that Rocky would've made for him. And all of the sewing on it is a little bit - it's nowhere near as good as Jenny would normally do, so we had to purposely ask Jenny to do bad sewing at the top of his trousers, so it'd look like he would've done it.

And then our brilliant breakdown department, run by Tim Shanahan, they break everything down to look like it's 10, 20 years old. So his cardigan and the t-shirt's all faded. And even on the laces -- the laces in his chuck taylors -- because your laces always break after a certain period of time, so we found stuff that was on the ship, like elastics and stuff. There's a nice big close-up actually in the film, so you can see that they're not normal laces, they're like stuff that he would've got from the ship that he's made as make-shift laces."

Glyn Dillon, one of the costume designers on Project Hail Mary

Saw a post about how hard it would be to learn an abstract word like "grace" so rocky probably lied about using the eridian word for grace and actually just made up a name the same way grace did. The suggestion in that post was "idiot" but rocky wouldn't have known that at first. May i submit he called grace something like "four-legs" or "squishy." He gets to go home and introduce Adrian to his squishy...
