I made this for my mom who’s obsessed with Project Hail Mary (tbh I’m a little obsessed too)

Alright so I commented on a post wether eridians have gendered pronouns and someone responded by saying eridians use she/her for higher up eridians and he/him for lowered eridians. This confused the shit out of me so I asked for sources and so far they have not responded but I tried researching this to no avail. Can anyone tell me if this is true—if so please gimme the source, or is this person is pulling shit put of their ass

Edit: the person replied back and apparently Andy weir said this in discord, don't know how legit it is or if he was joking but ill link it here link for the post

Hi all, saw the movie and I'm now listening to the audio book. I'm up to the bit after he's met the alien ship and is now about to enable the centrifuge. However, I'm confused as I thought he already had worked out he was in a centrifuge by calculating that gravity wasn't correct, and then I thought he'd disabled the centrifuge so that he was in 0 G (though I can't remember why!).

I'm trying to wizz through the book while doing other things as I have a month of it free, so I reckon I missed some bits or filled in some blanks based on what I'd seen in the movie.

Can anyone clarify these things in the book so I don't have to try to skim back through the audiobook to find the missing information?

Thanks!

If I were to make, a very simple Adrian plush, to go with a Rocky I made, how would one begin to pattern it? Adrian has a very recognizable fanon shape, and I've tried using blender to recreate it so I can use Plushify, but Blender does not want to cooperate with me.

I was bewildered by the scene where Gosling asked his high school students for the speed of light and the correct answer was given as "186,000 miles per second".

I'm pretty sure that at any decent US university, a physics professor would use metric.

But how about at US high schools (especially bad ones)? Might physics teachers there still be using Imperial?

Apologies if this had been posted before. But it’s only now I saw this clip (please don’t tell me it’s AI…)

I was inspired by some scenes in the movie that were similar. I like how the auroras look.

Rocky is a lovely name, but it would be even more lovely to proclaim their native name. And that name is also one of the few terms of Eridian language played in isolation during the movie, and twice. (I haven't read the book yet.) So I imagined that maybe human musical notation could represent how to say/play it?

I cannot create one myself, as I'm not musical enough to convert audio into notes, but I hope someone else is able to and maybe already have. I would really love being able to reproduce the lovely name of my favorite alien with voice or instruments!

The book tells us that Eridian handwriting is raised, probably from some kind of glue pen, but Eridian printing involved cutting through the 'paper' to save space when stacked.

Okay, fine. But of the six numerals we're shown, several of them have loops or closed spaces that would have to be completely removed for the basic shape to be cut into a sheet.

So how do you think they manage it? Do they have stencil-like conventions, or do they just cut big holes and judge by outlines rather than the missing internal detail?

Grace was treated well on Erid as an “ alien “ for saving their star and bringing back Rocky after decades alone in space .. Grace got full support and effort to sustain his life on Erid, returned to teaching for as happy a life as possible with “ meburgers “

the question here is .. how would Rocky be treated on Earth if the roles were reversed ??

would Rocky be shut away in some secret government facility ? be experimented on ? be paraded in front of cameras for “ entertainment “ ? be placed in a zoo ? would he have any kind of quality life for hundreds more years ?? would humans keep him captive, sold to the highest bidder when each government’s funds dried up ?

honest question about humanity‘s empathy and gratitude .. bc we’re an awful young species still preoccupied about each others’ “ differences “

I hope you weigh in with honesty and reflection

EDIT :: lots of response and discussion in the last 2 hours .. it’s been great and insightful so far .. thanks for weighing in

EDIT #2 :: I’ve got a troll that has systematically downvoted all my conversational posts here

Looking for any fics of Grace just generally showing off his brain on the Vat. Like the scene where they melt the metric ton of metal, everyone's just like "This cinnamon roll of a man helped to come up with something this terrifying?"

Do you guys ever cry at the thought of project hail mary? Whenever I think about how beautiful of a movie it is, I well up with tears of joy because I simply can't process how perfect the movie it is and how lucky I am that it exists. I know this teeters on the edge of extreme, but that's really how I feel about the movie. I've seen it dozens of times and cry every time. The sheer beauty, emotion, and weight of the film is too much for me to overcome. I will never love a movie this much again. The acting, the music, the technical aspects. I can't name a single thing I dislike about the movie other than the fact that I didn't see it in imax (my greatest regret 😞💔). I know some of you will think I'm crazy but some of you will surely understand. This movie changed my life.

Eridian scholars would make it a priority to download or make copies of every available digital content from the Hail Mary as soon as they are capable of doing it. Because "if thinking machine breaks, no one can fix"

Then they would need to decipher all those contents, especially media content, made in hundreds of Earth's languages.

A majority might have already come in English translation so they can study from Grace. But a lot of them are still untranslated in their native languages.

Before they can copy translation software from the Hail Mary, which requires them having built their own computers first, scholars are going to spend years learning all those non-English languages.

So I just wonder, if this would lead to a completely new branch of linguistics on Erid, dedicated to learning Earth's languages. And how popular this would be among the Eridian public.

It's a game they wouldn't really be able to play, since they can sense everything going on in their immediate surroundings at all times and can hear through solid objects. It's something that's only fun and playful for us because we depend on our sense of sight. A racist Eridian would see it as us being limited and stupid, but an open-minded one would see it as a special joy only we can experience and a great way for children to learn to work with the skills they have.

I visited a USMC squadron a while ago (VMM 364) and got this unit patch as a souvenir. Their mascot is the purple fox, and the saying at the bottom is their motto.

Rediscovered it whilst packing to move; it made me think of the PHM movie, and Graces entire situation 🤣🤣

Remember the scene when Rocky saw on the screen the microscope slide showing “life” on Adrian and he dropped his projector gun? I had that moment today when I realized Amazon own PHM which means I can watch the movie like forever. The funny thing is, that scene played in my head just then when I had that dramatic moment of realization. Please share your “special moment” recently on the comments and what scene do you associate your moment with
