Grace leaves school, gets picked up by the Petrova task force, and his bike is just... left there.

We get answers about astrophage, interstellar travel, alien civilizations, and the fate of humanity.

But the bike?

Nothing.

Did the school keep it? Did Stratt have someone retrieve it? Is it still chained outside the school years later, quietly waiting for Grace to finish his meeting?

Literally unwatchable until this plot hole is addressed.

When Rocky and Grace create the collector on Tau-Ceti-E to grab the predator for the Astrophage, why couldn't they just deploy it, then rise back up into space without the whole atmospheric shenanigans? Like... just... why?

Or even for Rocky to create some sort of way to control the spaceship while Grace was out? We see that it can use some sort of contraption glass thingy to have finer control, why not build something that could control the space stick?

Mildly annoyed

EDIT: So apparently because the chain would've melted from the spin drives. Makes sense, yeah. Thanks everyone!

Edit2: Question2: why not deploy the chain from the ship hatch then, so they could pull it back way easier? :/

Hi all. I just stumbled across a cool post on Insta that showed the original movie script for the scene where Rocky says he will give Grace the extra fuel to go home, VS how the actual final scene in the film came out.

And I thought some of you would appreciate seeing it too, if you haven't yet.

Not sure if I'm allowed to leave a link, but here's me trying: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DbEF6E3xVsC/?igsh=YmY5aHBicjQydTFv

I didn’t know what to title this but I’ve been thinking about this for so long after I’ve watched the movie. I literally sobbed during the whole thing I was low key hyperventilating😭 and my whole family laughed at me and make fun of me. Is this normal😭😭 idk I just really felt the movie and it was very deep to me 🫩

If there’s a fanfic that covers this, apologies. I like to imagine how the news broke when JPG&R returned with the taumeba solution.

Artemis for the Moon, The Martian for Mars, and Project Hail Mary for Venus.

Probably unintentionally but I just found that a bit funny XD

Maybe go with something Personal

Quick question, does Grace ever let Earth know that Tau Ceti e is now Adrian?

I know that a earth trip back would make a great book or another problem in the universe like a resistant strain of astrophage

Just started watching (listening to?) the director's commentary on Prime Video and during one of the first scenes where Ryan pokes his head into frame a few different times as he is first exploring the Hail Mary, Lord and Miller say "shout out Andy Samberg" in relation to this action. Anybody know what this was a reference to? They didn't explain themselves and I wanna know what I'm missing here 😅
