Maybe I'm reaching, but Grace's yellow raincoat looks very, very similar to the Hail Mary's yellow uniform. And maybe I'm reaching again, but maybe Grace was always going to end up on the Hail Mary no matter what — he was fated to go on this mission from the beginning.
Not to mention, we only really see him wear this yellow uniform like three times at the start of the movie, and one of those times was when he saw his future self on a beach. This points again to the whole idea of "fate," and that Grace was always meant to go on that ship and meet Rocky.
