i was thinking about interstellar when this appeared in my mind fully-formed. i had to look up the name of matt damon's character because i didn't remember it, and i thought it was a joke at first but nope his canonical name is hugh mann. christopher nolan you fascinate me

Project Hail Mary/The Martian crossovers are interesting from a character dynamics perspective but also a worldbuilding perspective. Did the Ares missions happen before Hail Mary? Did Mr. Ryland Grace the science teacher watch the world come together to save Mark Watney? Did Mark live in a post-astrophage world?

[a-real-hum4n]

i really really love the idea of a phm and the martian crossover, specifically in these 2 ways:

Somehow, Grace and Rocky are on their way to Earth (maybe there were no beetles on the hail mary, but they send the info to erid IDKKKK) and on their way they get a message from nasa like "heyy guys do you mind making a little pit stop at mars and getting this guy back... please?" so now grace and rocky have a new roomate!! (bonus point if mark doesnt know about rocky, and also "rocky hate mark")

after the hermes picked up mark, nasa calls them like "guys.... the guy we sent out into deep space 26 years ago..? yeah hes back can you guys get him home" so now grace and rocky live on the hermes!!! again, bonus points if none of the crew knew about the literal alien.

in both of them, the reason they picked up mark could be bc they were investigating mars, like if it was possible to live there if phm doesnt work

i need more people to get rylark/hailmartian pilled....

excuse any clarity errors, it is midnight and i am not accustomed to being awake at such times

here is a rough list of similarities and differences between mark and grace (based on my limited knowledge of the martian as i have only watched the film. i have maybe 3x more knowledge abt project hail mary)

similarities:

Watney/Lewis is The Martian's equivalent of Grocky and I'm making my peace with that

[reaperlight]

In the book, Mark Watney peppers in Yiddish in his everyday speech.

Maybe he's Jewish?
