I was listening to Rocket Man by Elton on my way to work, and it kept bugging me all week because in my head I couldn't get it to fit with Grace or Simon, before I realized ITS ROCKY.
"I miss the earth (erid) so much, I miss my wife (Adrien, obv)"
"Its lonely out in space" he was alone out there for 40(ish) years if I remember correct?
"All the science, I dont understand. Its just my job, five days a week." Not being a scientist of course, but moreso not knowing the science behind why hes the only survivor.
"Im not the man they think I am at home" fits for grace but also rocky, can you imagine how his family/friends will react when they learned rocky, the engineer, just meant to make the flight out there go smoothly, was not only the sole survivor but also saved everyone? He was the only engineer on a ship of scientists. He didnt say there was a "crew quarters" down in the engines, it was just him.
Listening to the end of the song, the repeating of "i think its gonna be a long long time" and imagining rocky trying desperately to find some sort of solution by himself for 40 years... oughh,,,
