00:10I'm several light years from my apartment.
00:12And I'm not an astronaut.
00:16I'm not an astronaut.
00:18I'm not an astronaut.
00:20If you don't go, you die.
00:23With the rest of us.
00:30The sun is dying.
00:34You are the only scientist who might know what this is.
00:37I'm just a teacher at Grover Cleveland Metal.
00:40You have a doctorate in molecular biology.
00:43I need you to come with us.
00:45This is Project Hail Mary.
00:47The sun is not the only star dying.
00:49Every star was infected by its neighbor except one.
00:52Why?
00:54Which is why we build a ship.
00:56To go there and find out.
00:58It's 11.9 light years away.
00:59The astronauts die in space.
01:02It's what you Americans would call a long shot.
01:05Hail Mary. I get it.
01:07Who on Earth is going to sign up for this?
01:11If we do nothing,
01:13everything on this planet will go extinct.
01:16You'll find a solution.
01:18You are my solution.
01:21I put the knot in astronaut.
01:23I've never done anything.
01:24I've never done a spacewalk.
01:25I can't even moonwalk.
01:29do nothing.
01:31I have never done anything.
01:32Do nothing.
01:33Don't stop your crying.
01:34It's a sign of the times.
01:38We gotta get away from me.
01:43Stop me crying, baby.
01:45It'll be alright.
01:46I understand the stakes. I do.
01:52My place is in the classroom.
01:55The world is counting on you.
01:59This might be very hard for you to understand.
02:03But some people are not good at things.
02:07You know who you are. You're going to do great.
02:09I can't consider OG in five hours.
02:10Object approaching.
02:17Oh, my God.
02:30So, I met an alien.
02:33He's kind of growing on me. At least he's not growing in me, you know, which was a concern for a little while.
02:40I'm Grace.
02:48I'm going to call you Rocky.
02:49Thumbs up.
02:51Nope. That's thumbs down.
02:53We do the thumbs up.
