so grace is probably alarming to most eridians at first because he's a lanky wet alien with too few limbs, yes--but what if he ends up being terrifying in a sort of divine way instead of a repulsive one?

like. a creature that perceives the intangible? a creature that walks with thin permeable membranes bared to the air, whose blood contains elixir that can destroy pathogens without heat? a creature that is impossibly fragile yet resilient? a creature that breathes potently flammable gas to survive? a creature that is loud all over and speaks in a strange and frightening monotone, who thought it would die for you? who gave up its home in the heavens for you without meeting you first, whose first words to your people were probably something along the lines of We saved your star. It's gonna be okay. Don't be afraid.

[chekhovs-raygun]

grace is such an interesting bundle of contradictions! he breathes an incredibly flammable gas because he lives at such a cold temperature the gas can't ignite except he burns it very slowly inside the delicate gauzy cage of his body. his meat is basically a delicate water-and-protein foam because he lives in a very tiny fraction of normal atmospheric pressure. his planet has almost no air, no atmosphere. they're so gauzy, so frail, living underneath a whisker-fine sky, that to get to space in a couple seconds by exploding towards it. they can't build a space elevator because all their materials are just various attempts to do anything whatsoever with shitty frozen metals and various hydrocarbon meshes. their spaceship is a tiny refrigerator, the most expensive thing they ever built, and controled by a impossibly complex calculation engine they knitted out of silicates. it contains all human knowledge, if it doesn't catch on fire.

they knew that space was there because they can perceive it directly. it's literally right overhead all the time for their entire evolution. they know the faces of thousands, millions of stars, as soon as they tip their faces up. eridani is a name from two thousand years ago. all their stars have been named and known and watched and sung about for longer than any individual human civilization. they have always known the eridian star was there.

they live to be seventy.

Gosh I'm still thinking about Project Hail Mary, I think I just realized part of what makes it all so human and special, it's how SCRAPY Grace is! He doesn't have any training, he doesn't know what half of the buttons do, but the most important part is that he doesn't treat any of it with the restraint you would expect from the situation.

He's reckless with the machinery and doesn't think twice before tearing it appart to fit his needs, he modifies the space so he can traverse it better, he calls the ship "Mary" even it doesn't have any artificial intelligence of any kind, and all of it is key to the feeling of the movie.

This is why the scene with Carl at the beginning is so important!

Project Hail Mary is NOT a SCIENTIFIC MISSION, it's a SCHOOL PROJECT!!! The kind of project where you and your buddy go to home depot and build a shitty model using wooden sheets, cardboard and duct tape!!

THIS is the essence of the movie to me. It's not a esterilized, by the books procedure, no line of command or authority, no orders to be followed or ignored. It's just two people trying their best to save their worlds.

[assiraphales]

it’s kinda funny bc the videos of grace hanging out w rocky is the happiest eva stratt had ever seen him. like imagine guilts been haunting you and the laws been hunting you and for decades you have no idea if it’s been all for nothing and then….. first clip you see is the scientist and a sentient rock going “this is me and my BOI ✌️”

[cloudabserk]

it wants to be close to me. probably because it is so cold and soft & it knows i am strong and warm

now, i do enjoy the "grace breaks his glasses and is despondent because it's his only pair" head canons because i love drama and misery, but also this is NASA. They sent him up there with like ten extra pairs because a) it's NASA and b) everyone fucking saw how Grace treated his glasses. The original redundancy plan probably called for like 5 pairs but then Stratt took one look at that and was "absolutely not, he's a fucking menace double that immediately"

[avoid-avoidance]

as soon as those spare pairs run out, gonna have to call this man Dotor aptain Ryland Grae because he won’t be able to fuckin C

[asimovsideburns]

and he’s eventually going to need a new prescription, and you know the hail mary was not designed with that in mind because he wasn’t supposed to live long enough need a new prescription

can you imagine the process of getting your eyes diagnosed and setting up the equipment to properly grind and shape lenses

on a planet of aliens that can’t fucking see
