"the most unrealistic thing about project hail mary is that a woman is in charge" WRONG look up the glass cliff. women are much more likely to be promoted to positions of power when things are going poorly and people need a woman to blame. she refers to herself as the "world's whipping boy." the person put in the position to have to commit ecological and humanitarian crimes of that scale in order to save the earth would only ever be a woman.

water sports should be for adults too.me and the blokes at university should be allowed to shoot eachother with water guns

something i haven't seen anyone talk about with project hail mary was one of my main takeaways from the film -- it's just how important the arts are to the sciences. the first way that grace and rocky are able to communicate is via art -- the tiny human sculpture and the two rings of eight to symbolize O2. the interweaving of art and science in the creation of project hail mary, from the beautiful cinematography to the costume design to the puppetry and soundtrack, is the thing that made the movie so dang impactful to us. as someone working in the sciences, thank you to all the artists who help us thrive
