I think a lot of people don't realize how confined Grace would be during the trip to Erid. This is important to me because I want Grace to be inconvenienced. Nothing should be easy for this guy!

When the Hail Mary is in thrust configuration:

The gravity is 1.5 g, just enough to make moving around the ship a bit more tiring than usual

The ship is basically a giant tower! Grace has to climb VERY tall ladders to go up to the next room. Climbing those in 1.5 g sounds exhausting. I'm sure he'd build up some good endurance doing that, but anyone who lives in a townhome can tell you how annoying it is to walk down three flights of stairs and then realize you forgot your phone upstairs. I imagine he would probably not wander around the ship a ton when he has to climb ladders to do it.

Related to the ladders, if Grace is in the dormitory and wants to go watch TV in the Don't Go Crazy room, he has to climb up 3 rooms of long ladders to get there

The usable floor space is pretty limited! All the rooms were designed to be used in centrifugal gravity, so in all the rooms the centrifugal floor is now a very, very tall wall. What would be the shorter centrifugal wall is now a tiny floor in thrust config (I'll put pictures at the end to illustrate)

Basically zero lab access! At the very beginning of the movie you can see Grace look up the wall at the lab equipment. It is all at least 10 ft up, totally out of reach and bolted sideways to the wall. The only real things he can use in lab are the white board, some screens, and the chair 4ft off the floor (that says "Not for use in thrust configuration" lol). The lab just straight up is NOT meant to be used AT ALL in thrust config. That's the whole point of having the centrifuge!

This is purely based on the movie, the book mentions Grace being able to tidy the lab when he is flying back towards Earth. But I am enchanted by the idea that the trip to Erid is boring and inconvenient for Grace, but he still doesn't regret anything because he's getting to spend time with Rocky.

Definitely don't fault anyone for forgetting this! You only see the ladders at the beginning of the movie. I only realized when I went to get screenshots that the ladders retract in centrifuge mode! Very smart. Those would be a real trip hazard.

Ship room order: Dormitory -> Server (?) room -> Lab -> Beetle storage room -> Don't Go Crazy Room -> EVA room & airlock -> Cockpit

Dormitory thrust

Very, very tall ladder! At least the floor is padded here in case you fall off. Makes sense considering this is where you wake up from your coma and have poor coordination

Dormitory centrifuge

Long floor plan, short walls. These two screenshots are from the same angle!! Tall wall is now long floor. You can see where the ladder has retracted!

Lab thrust

Grace is in the foreground pointing WAY up at the equipment bolted to the very tall wall

Grace sitting in the one accessible lab chair that says "NOT FOR USE IN THRUST CONFIGURATION" on the side. He's sitting on what is supposed to be the backrest

Lab centrifuge

Very large floorplan! This is the main room on the ship. They probably expected the crew to spend the most time here.

DGC room thrust

Grace is still able to stand in here! There is just a ladder going up the side of the room

DGC room centrifuge

After the ladder retracts, the metal panel it was on is now the floor!

i'd say the orange suit nerfs him but he also looks good in that

in the lounge room where you were just melting at the comfiness of the sofa, eating your daily snack routine when suddenly the door flings open and you see your beautiful amazing boyfriend Zanka you feel your stomach do three backflips as he came at your way sitting at the free spot beside you

he placed lovely right beside him as he finally turned his gaze to you, oh god he looked so cute you couldn’t help but pinch both of his checks with your two hands he let out a small yelp before looking at you with a pout and furrowed brows you gave him a big smile and giggled before lunging onto him

placing both of your hands on his cheeks as you started pampering him with your kisses giving him on his cheeks his jaw, nose, forehead and ears before wrapping your arms around his head and giving him the tightest hug, Zanka on the other head was literally shaking from nervousness and excitement at the same time he was gonna explode because of you finally you pulled away Zanka looked like a tomato at this point he slapped his face with both of his hands

“w-why’d ya do that!” he exclaimed while stuttering his words out of embarrassment you smiled as you hugged him again but not that tight like the last time giving him lazy kisses over his neck, Zanka is gonna burst right here right now as he reaches his arms to wrap your waist pulling you closer to him that made you grin as you whispered to his ear “because your sososososososo cute Zanka!” finally you pulled away and you swear you couldn’t hold your laugh anymore when you saw his face

his eyes looked like they were about to pop out of his sockets as he looks at you with a flustered look

“m not even cute idiot.. your crazy” his says as his grabs your waist and looks at you with warmness, ok now your the one who’s getting red you leaned in and gave him a long deep kiss as you messed his hair, finally you both pulled away and rested on each others forehead as you guys breathed heavily he grinned at you making your heart flutter 100x harder “not complaining though?” his said with his smuggest grin as you both interlocked hands and gave him another smooch on his lips.
