¡vive, vive, vive!

I feel like not enough people realize that people under enormous strain act really really fucking Weird

i had a coworker who had such a strong sense of smell that she could tell when people were on their periods and publically called them out on it, so i started calling her the Bloodhound which she didnt appreciate for some reason. girl you made this bed im just decorating it

with how much seemingly pointless stuff that was completely unnecessary for the mission ended up on the hail mary I gotta believe like half the project crew were just playing a game of "how much random shit can we get on the ship before stratt notices and kills us"

One detail from the book that didn't make it into the movie that I think is neat is that Eva Stratt did not just stumble across Ryland Grace. He was not the 'potentially disposable' option. She went to the top microbiologists in some of the best research labs in the world and was told multiple times "you know what? I think Dr. Grace might be your guy." When discussing the Petrova Problem. And this several years after his ejection from academia.
