SpaceHai's Adventures

AMAZE AMAZE AMAZE !!

'good luck' on a sticky note on ryland's coma suit

the use of the videolog as a way to convey the inner monologue to the screen

grace rocky save stars

the scene where they activate the IR view when ryland is doing the petrova line EVA collection at tau ceti and he's amongst the astrophage. god

just the entire execution of rocky and eridian language. PERFECT. that last scene where ryland doesn't need the translator? god

eva stratt double parked coffee

BLIP-A DESIGN. XENONITE DESIGN. ERIDIAN DESIGN. all impeccable.

'time to go fishing, question?'

the mental health screen room and rocky getting to experience bits of earth via it

the music while the hail mary and the blip a start spinning in sync. actually, just all of the music

ryland grace earth hackey sack packed on the hail mary, presumably on stratt's orders + ryland grace nerdy as fuck graphic tshirts packed on the hail mary, presumably on stratt's orders

implication that PHM sent a military jet to grover cleveland middle school to draw those 'save the world' pictures within 3 days so that they could send them with ryland on the hail mary. GOD.

nannybot -> armando. also ryland calling the ship 'mary'

not strictly within the movie but the tagline 'believe in the hail mary'. yeah.

yao and ilyukhina's collections of photographs and the way ryland cries over them when he does the space burial. they were his friends. he can't remember.

the scene where he's walking through the dark tunnel in the orange eva suit and it's like the inverse of the iconic 2001 space odyssey shot

he bikes to work and it's not for exercise

he vomits into a traffic cone after the supersonic jet ride

he runs from the baikonur facility and claws at the earth under his nails before getting sedated. one last look at the sky.

"WHOOMP THERE IT IS"

ryland grace in his classroom looking at the taped-up line running from venus to the sun that he's made to try to explain to his students what no one understands

ryan gosling's delivery of I showed you a clock and now youre showing me a clock <- THATS A NERD! THATS MY RYLAND GRACE!

"of course i'll watch you sleep, buddy. you gotta promise me you'll wake up though" just kill me now

grace getting to see the the blip-a! also, grace only remembering he didn't volunteer when he sees the light refracting off the blip-a.

rocky make door you close door

AND MOST OF ALL. they. made rockys handprint a scar on grace's arm. forever.

things I missed most from the book that weren't included in the movie

"I don't know if you can hear me. but i'm here, buddy, I'm on your hull!!" movie scene was good but grace clinging onto the blip-a thwacking a wrench into the hull in desperation while space is cold and grey and unrelenting in its darkness and silence around him and he doesnt know if rocky is dead. grace, question? you are here, question?

come resistance gene plotline. this is FOUNDATIONAL for my understanding of stratt to sending ryland. if she could she would have gone herself. any of the PHM biology techs could have feasibly gone in the movie-verse. but they can't. it's one in 7000 and their next option is a distillery worker from paraguay. ryland grace, microbiologist sentenced to marytrdom by his own genes.... its delicious

doomed climatologist of all time, francois leclerc. he runs the numbers and knows we have nineteen years. he snaps and tells stratt 'this isn’t some optional outcome.' he nukes antarctica and cries. he has no choice

the fact that in the book grace is forced to work on analysing the probe samples and getting roped into PHM. in the movie he says 'I want to help earth if I can!' in that scene w the earth beanbag... its imperative to me that he literally never asked to do any of this at all

"how have you been lately" "dr shapiro and I have begun a sexual relationship"

steve, creator of the beetles

"do not fuck up my house, roscosmos bastards" ilyukhina line you are sorely missed

dmitri and grace bonding over puns and spin drives

'you are a fundamentally good man, dr grace.' 'you're murdering me.'

"why did the kiwi government think you were embezzling millions of dollars" "probably because I was embezzling millions of dollars"

dr lokken and dr grace's panspermia feud

the emotional whiplash of "Sorry, Rocky" after grace realises he can only go back to the blip-a OR earth to “I know you’d love a beetle to take apart, but I couldn’t spare one.”

the desperation of circling the petrovascope to locate the blip-a in increasing 5* slants not knowing if he's going to find anything.

"Copy. Moon joy."

"I have two Microsoft Outlooks, and neither one of those are working."

"Houston, if you could give me about 20 new superlatives in the mission summary for tomorrow that will help out my vocabulary a little bit, that would be great. Thank you."

“If you’ve ever seen the top of the spotlight of the top of the Luxor at night in Vegas, this looks like what it wants to be when it grows up.”

"To all of you down there on Earth... we love you, from the moon."

"We just went sci fi."

"It is so great to see Earth again. To Asia, Africa, and Oceania: we are looking back at you. We hear you can look up and see the moon right now. We see you too."

"We will always choose Earth. We will always choose each other."

“It’s a bright spot on the moon, and we would like to call it Carroll.”

"Amaze amaze amaze."

"I said that we do not leave Earth, but we choose it. And that is true."

"Christina has been sleeping head down in the middle of the vehicle, kind of like a bat"

"It's really fun to be floatin' around, it just makes me feel like a little kid."

"Trust us, you look amazing, you look beautiful."

"'Homo Sapiens' is all of us, no matter where you're from or what you look like. We're all one people."

"I'm proud to call myself the Space Plumber."

"We were all eagerly awaiting the chorus."

And there was no big climate change then, or extinctions of other groups! This research is pretty recent and no one has even an educated guess!

Two effects of this:

All of today's big ocean sharks (Great White, Tiger, Basking, etc.) all evolved from coastal sharks that survived this event. And,

He is also an Alien and finds human's gender stuff pretty weird. Would prefer to just not think about gender at all. But oh well, there is lots of weird stuff going on on Earth. Like all of these pretty pink flowers appearing every year.
