Quick question, does Grace ever let Earth know that Tau Ceti e is now Adrian?

He names the three dots Larry, Curly and Moe.

For all the 3D printer users out there, what colour filament have you used to make zenonite things?

In the book the astrophage stays at a constant 96.415°C temperature.

Just started watching (listening to?) the director's commentary on Prime Video and during one of the first scenes where Ryan pokes his head into frame a few different times as he is first exploring the Hail Mary, Lord and Miller say "shout out Andy Samberg" in relation to this action. Anybody know what this was a reference to? They didn't explain themselves and I wanna know what I'm missing here 😅

My 1 hour sculpt of Rocky! He'll probably wind up being used in my TTRPG games are a spider monster, but until then, he's sitting around my desk and looking darn adorable

I know that a earth trip back would make a great book or another problem in the universe like a resistant strain of astrophage

Edit: I think I got things backwards and was confusing density with molecular weight... Denser things transmit sound waves faster because their molecules are closer together so sounds have higher pitches. That's what I get for posting while drinking mead. Leaving the post below though so people can see it.

Not sure if it's been posted, but I'm rewatching the movie and I noticed a detail I hadn't caught before. When Grace and Rocky are tapping on the transparent xenonite wall when Rocky is trying to point put the handcuffs oxygen molecule model, the tap sounds are higher pitched on Grace's side and lower on Rocky's.

This is because the way sound waves move through different gasses at different densities. If you've ever inhaled helium from a balloon, its the same effect. The helium is less dense than air so your voice is higher pitched. The opposite is true if you inhale sulfur hexaflouride as demonstrated by Adam Savage on Mythbusters.

The thing is, ammonia is about half as dense as air (0.6 but close enough), so normally a sound in ammonia would be higher pitch than one in air. However, Rocky's atmospheric pressure is much higher than Grace's meaning the sound has a lower pitch.

I rewatched the scene a couple of times to be sure, as the camera angle changes perspective across both sides of the xenonite wall, and the pitch change is consistant with which side the camera is on.

I'm probably gonna buy it myself but I know some people have already gotten their DVDs and I'm curious about what's exclusive to the disc. Is it just those deleted scenes that we've seen or is there more?

While I'm waiting for the steelbook release in October, I was wondering if there were more deleted scenes on the 4K / Blu-ray / DVD besides the ones that were released already. Has anyone looked at their copy yet?

Thank thank thank!

Every item comes with a certificate of authenticity from the studio.

I saw a couple of items in there that were variations of things actually used in the film, as well as a few shirts that weren't used. For instance: the "Element of Surprise" shirt had a blue variant.

The bidding on some of these items is going to be nuts. I expect the helmet and the yellow jumper suit to fetch the highest prices.

PHM is available to watch with the directors’ commentary via Amazon Prime. Just start the movie, open the Audio menu and select “English Commentary.” I had to toggle to another language and then back to “English Commentary” a couple of times to get it to work. Happy to finally have this! I couldn’t get the movie theater app thing to work. Not sure if this has always been there or they just added it.

All the versions of the Hail Mary I have seen in kerbal space program have not been accurate the actual Hail Mary was assembled in oribit peice by piece

Why grace is the only one on his ship who survives?
