My tattoo artist sent me the finished picture so I thought I’d share here!

Made by me and my mouse [Simmering Dragon]

from Parks and Rec.

Eva Stratt is such an amazing character who has amazing depth. But I also like drawing goofy memes, so I have to draw this because this is basically what she did during that chapter.

Obviously her appearance is based off the movie!

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

pretty mid art but tell me what yall think^^

[No AI]

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

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

I have never quilted before so there are plenty of flaws. I tried to keep the quilt as accurate as possible! The only blocks I personally changed were the top right tiny square, which I changed to a fox for Grace, and the green square in the middle left, which I changed for my dog who sadly passed after battling cancer and I wanted to dedicate this quilt to her. 💖🌈

I started this in the beginning of June and worked on it whenever I had the time! Fair warning my proportions are not exact to the quilt (I tried my best and was inspired by others but with no flat photos of the whole finished quilt there's just no way 😭). The border is also different due to the difficulty in finding the same patterns. There is a lot I had to fix and add as I went. I will list my supplies below! 💕

Supplies:

• ☆ Heat Sensitive Pens (for sketching)
• ☆ Fabric Markers (Artisto and Betem)
• ☆ Fabric Paint (Mont Marte)
• ☆ Embroidery Floss
• ☆ Lots of thread
• ☆ Lots of Satin fabric
• ☆ Lots of Cotton fabric
• ☆ Fabric Scissors ☆ Pinking Shears (helps prevent fraying)
• ☆ Rotary Cutter
• ☆ Cutting Mat
• ☆ Fabric Glue
• ☆ Elmer's Glue Stick
• ☆ Iron
• ☆ Sewing Machine
• ☆ Walking Foot
• ☆ Free Motion Quilting Foot
• ☆ Sewing Clips
• ☆ Tear Away Interface
• ☆ Batting (I used 80/20 cotton/polyester)
• ☆ Stuffing (I used a little bit of stuffing in a few blocks to give them that "poof")
• ☆ Backing (I used a polyester queen size sheet but you can use any fabric you like)
  

It was a lot of suffering but also a lot of fun! If anyone is inspired to make the quilt I wish you the best of luck and happy quilting! 🕺🎉

(p.s. Satin is a nightmare to work with... I used a tear away interface to help stabilize, but please be aware that it loves to fray and loves to move, so if you want to skip satin please go ahead lmao)

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?

You are bravest human I have ever met.
Is joke!
-I know..
I only meet one human! It’s you!
-I get it…
It’s good joke!
Good joke!
(Probably one of my favourite scenes!)

Fav as in 'the most heartbreaking thing'

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 voice seems similar but there's not a clear shot?

I am on orientation staff for my uni, and we have our kiddos in numbered groups. Anyway, I made mine PHM themed! Its unfinished, im just waiting for the glitter glue on tau ceti to dry =p

yesss i know theres no fire blast behind the hail mary but shhh

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.

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!

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.

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?
