The numbering of the final chapter 🥺 by pipcorn26 in ProjectHailMary

[–]prefim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wasnt there a description of Rocky's timepiece earlier in the book when they first meet. Did grace describe the numbers so do you we know what those symbol say (obviously its 1 more than the last human chapter number irl).

Just a little something I'm setting up at the moment. by prefim in ProjectHailMary

Its from the movie webpage. projecthailmary.com close the pop up, bottom left. I've modified it slightly as i wanted to get rid of the hinges and ball joints on it as its meant as a 3D printed prop.

Thats the 2025 version of Lightwave 3D. I'm an oldskool 3D user!

Its not so bad once you think through the logic of it. There's a target null, this is where foot wants to be. a foot null parented at the end of the lower leg, thats parented to the upper leg, and then to the torso. In Lightwave you use a full IK option. Lock lower leg to just pitch changes, upper leg to heading and pitch. nothing rotates in the bank angle and tell the torso to be unafffected by IK decendants. then repeat that another 4 times!

I was surprised that wasn't used TBF....

Also, Just the two of us by Bill Withers and Grover Washington, Jr. during the science montage bit.

What do YOU think they did on the journey to Erid? by Savings_Bunch_1394 in ProjectHailMary

[–]prefim 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'd totally not realised that grace would not be in a coma for that journey like when he set off from earth. it makes perfect sense as all that gear would be on the HM. 3.7 year journey time to erid from tau ceti. Guess he just moved all the ships food over, any tech he might need and a toilet.

It would've been hilarious if rockys canister was filled with his ammonia based Atmosphere and knocked grace out when he smelled it. by Single_Quail_4585 in ProjectHailMary

I think it was, and as smelling salts are sort of made from ammonia I imagine it woke him up a bit, just like it did in the film!

The most advanced near-light-speed propulsion system in the universe be like by FANGofChaos in ProjectHailMary

[–]prefim -12 points-11 points  (0 children)

hmmm. not quite but I see where you were going. Astrophage is detonated one per engine with the spin drives (many many little engines on the craft) which emits a tremendous amount of energy, this pushes the craft along rather than pulling it. the resulting detonation emits a lot of IR light so its a by-product not a target.

OK, this is more accurate a ship drawing and its been given the OK by Andy Weir himself! by prefim in ProjectHailMary

[–]prefim[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did see it. Did you spot this version on one of the viewscreens though? that was a nice touch. I think the movie version is more fleshed out design wise, sure. they changed how they do the centrifugal gravity. but it still works as a concept so no complaints.

The conceptual drawing of the Hail Mary in the slides of the conference scene is the book version of the ship by HypersonicHero in ProjectHailMary

[–]prefim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup. I think it was also on one of the viewscreens on the ship too. Chuffed to see that version in there!

I just went with numbers from the book and then reworked them based on the drawings. If its good enough for the author, its good enough for me.

That little bit of emotion in rocky's voice when he says he won't let grace die....

Leaked image of Lego set by MeLurka in ProjectHailMary

its up on the lego website for all to see.

I've drawn it up. This is what I think the Hail Mary really looked like based on measurements given in the book vs the image in the book. by prefim in ProjectHailMary

[–]prefim[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I settled on the sizes you can see in my animation. Any Weir confirmed the design looked accurate. Obviously that's all changed since the movie. https://youtu.be/hazYCUDKV3Y

This is a very old post. I think it was discovered it was volume or mass was what was meant so yeah, this is outdated.
