doing a line of hope

Don’t talk to me about the astronauts of the Artemis mission naming a bright moon crater Carroll after commander Reid Wiseman's late wife. She is literally loved to the moon and back, forever

and the thing about both Project Hail Mary and The Martian is that both stories are grabbing you by the shoulders, looking you in the eyes, and from behind the fourth wall Andy Weir is smiling at you saying "you are never as alone, or as far gone, as you think you are"

I just heard Project Hail Mary's genre coined as "Cosmic Hope" instead of cosmic horror, and I'm getting emotional all over again. I need to sit down. God do I love this story to bits.

Something something one‐way‐trips. Something about your own life being sacrificed by others for the knowledge to save humanity. The wonder and terror and awe of space outside our little bubble, and everything unexplainable we find out there. The remainder of humanity is desperate, all hopes resting on the findings of one man. A happy ending, a bad ending. They just want to live, is that so wrong?
