There is no war in U S A

Side note: polonium-210 is a very dangerous isotope, however it "does not pose a radiation hazard when kept outside the body", as the alpha particle it emits have very little penetration power and cannot pierce even the outer layers of dead skin. It has still killed countless people, though, not because of children's rings, but because of tobacco. Polonium latches onto and concentrates in tobacco leaves, leading to heavy smokers being exposed to more radiation than survivors of the Chernobyl disaster.

So while realistically I don't think all the world's governments would have released all of the Project Hail Mary video logs to the public of their own free will (They'd take one look at Rocky and decide "Yup, that needs to be a secret"), I DO think the logs of Ryland and Rocky would get out anyways. Why?

Because there are no secrets to be held from gay furry hackers.

Give it a month, two months max, of the beetles being on earth and some furry, some where, will leak every single video to the public. There'll be great controversy over whether it's real or not at first, but with former students of Grace's confirming that that was their teacher, the exact same way he spoke and sounded so many years ago, it'd be irrefutable.

And who would the world have to thank?

NOT THE CRABS WE EXPECTED BUT STILL SOME CRABS WE DESERVE!!!
