ok so there has been a lot of discussion about how much of grace's recordings are going to be released and how it is prob not going to be made public that he didnt go willingly, but i think we should talk more about how much conspiracy theories are going to pop up about the whole thing when its all over with bc i think they are going to be WILD
we already know there is some degree of public uncertainty about whether or not the sun is even in danger in the first place and the government(s) are keeping knowledge of the whole thing pretty under wraps so i dont think it is a reach to say the whole time things would be pretty jaring for people and a wide array of opinions spreading fulled by the fear of losing the sun
after its all over, i think this would probably largely fade out except for in fringe groups where conspiracy would run wild and i think where this genuinely gets interesting is that there elements that happened they could dig into although i doubt anyone would be even close to the actual conspiracies (ie grace not wanting to go to space). hours upon hours of grace teaching rocky pop culture being cut from the portions of the video tapes released to the public? CONSPIRACY! the tapes only starting after the crew dies? the portions of grace regaining his memory or missing home being cut? CONSPIRACY somehow one middle school teacher discovering three separate alien species? CONSPIRACY!! and so many more possibilities
just a disclaimer tho i have only watched the movie, i have not yet got around to reading the book
