Ryan Gosling played Neil Armstrong in a biopic in 2018. Meaning he probably did learn a lot of Terrible Space Facts relatively recently about real life space travel especially in the early NASA days when people were still learning just how much space is terrible. Which means I wholly believe that Gosling’s I Never Want To Go To Space, Do Not Send Me To Space attitude in Project Hail Mary cast interviews was pre-existing. Contacted by the studio for PHM like “hey we want you to play a guy who really, really does not want to go to space” and was like I have been preparing for this role since 2018

Finally, a "jaded alcoholic man whose loved ones are all dead avenges his dog" movie where the man's a woman and the dog doesn't die.
