“Good. Proud. I am scary space monster. You are leaky space blob.”
― Andy Weir, Project Hail Mary

“Sheesh—you almost ruin a mission one time and all of a sudden you have an alien-enforced bedtime.”
― Andy Weir, Project Hail Mary

“Light is a funny thing. Its wavelength defines what it can and can’t interact with. Anything smaller than the wavelength is functionally nonexistent to that photon. That’s why there’s a mesh over the window of a microwave. The holes in the mesh are too small for microwaves to pass through. But visible light, with a much shorter wavelength, can go through freely. So you get to watch your food cook without melting your face off.”
― Andy Weir, Project Hail Mary

“what’s the point of even having a world if you’re not going to pass it on to the next generation?”
― Andy Weir, Project Hail Mary
