Biblically accurate Ryland Grace from Ryan Gosling himself.

[VD: A Project Hail Mary animatic titled "We ask the Project Hail Mary crew what they would take on a trip to space". The art is toned in purple, yellow, and orange. The characters answer with audio from interviews with the movie actors as microphones are held towards them.

Grace, sweating and laughing sheepishly: "Well, I wouldn't go to space... Just like never, I would run."

Ilyukhina, smiling: "A picture of my family."

Dubois smiles and stands with Yao, who nods seriously: "Nerds Gummy Clusters."

Grace, smiling nervously: "Why do I have to?"

Stratt: "My phone."

Grace: "Can I pick three? (He counts off) Coffee, donuts, and then, like, some choose-your-adventure novels so I can get a few multiple reads out of them. (He holds up his hands defensively) But I don't want to go. Just to be clear."

"How do you say goodbye back home?" "We don't. We do this."

Something they still can’t agree on.

A mini PHM comic about Grace growing old. I wanted to explore two ideas: Rocky dealing with Grace’s dementia and Grace wanting to donate his body to science. I spend so much time on figuring out the dialogue (some part still feel clunky to me) but I hope it express my thoughts on where I think Grace’s life would go :)

If it’s any consolation, you’ll be hailed as a hero.

You sleep, I watch
