00:00Please state your name.
00:06Riley and Grace, they spoke up from a coma.

00:15I'm not an astronaut.
00:18I'm not an astronaut.
00:20If you don't go, you die.
00:23We're the rest of us.
00:28The sun is dying.
00:30You are the only scientist who might know what this is.
00:34I'm just a teacher at Grover Cleveland Metal.
00:37You have a doctorate in molecular biology.
00:39I need you to come with us.
00:42This is Project Hail Mary.
00:44The sun is not the only star dying.
00:45Every star was infected by its neighbor except one.
00:48Why?
00:49We don't know.
00:51Which is why you build a ship to go there and find out.
00:55It's 11.9 light years away.
00:56The astronauts die in space.
00:59It's what you Americans would call a long shot.
01:02Hail Mary.
01:02I get it.
01:03Who on earth is going to sign up for this?

01:21I've never done a space walk.
01:22I can't even moonwalk.
01:24I understand the stakes.
01:34I do.
01:35My place is in the classroom.
01:37The world is counting on you.
01:51This might be very hard for you to understand, but some people are not good at things.
01:56You know who you are.
02:05You're gonna do great.
02:06I conquered zero to you in five hours.
02:12Object approaching.
02:13I met an alien.
02:30He's kind of growing on me.
02:31At least he's not growing in me, you know?
02:32Which was a concern for a little while.
02:41I'm Grace.
02:45I'm gonna call you Rocky.
02:46Thumbs up.
02:48No, that's thumbs down.
02:50We do the thumbs up.
02:54It's close enough.
