One thing I keep thinking about while I’ve been rereading Project Hail Mary is the food situation.
By the end of the book, Dr. Grace only has a few months of food left and coma slurry. He only has the coma slurry because his friends died on the way to Tau Ceti.
Dr. Grace and Rocky spent a few weeks together trying to find a way to save their Stars. If Yao and Ilyukhina had lived, they most likely would have starved before the Taumoeba was ready to be sent in the beetles.
