Andy Weir
“Deadline-induced quality issues: a problem all over the galaxy.”
Andy Weir, Project Hail Mary

Andy Weir
“It’s a good thing those numbers were right. If they hadn’t been, there would have been some serious scrambling when the orbital insertion went wrong. Maybe even some dying.”
Andy Weir, Project Hail Mary

Andy Weir
“When European mariners first came across Asian mariners, no one was surprised they both used sails.”
Andy Weir, Project Hail Mary

Andy Weir
“Of course the Eridian language has no words for colors. Why would it? I never thought of colors as a mysterious thing. But if you’ve never heard of them before, I guess they’re pretty weird. We have names for frequency ranges in the electromagnetic spectrum. Then again, my students all have eyes and they were still amazed when I told them “x-rays,” “microwaves,” “Wi-Fi,” and “purple” were all just wavelengths of light.”
Andy Weir, Project Hail Mary

Andy Weir
“Before leaving the cockpit, I take one last look at the Telescope screen. I don’t know why—I guess I just like to keep track of what extraterrestrial ships in my vicinity are up to. The Blip-A spins in space. It rotates end-over-end, probably at the exact same rate as the Hail Mary. I guess they saw me spin up the centrifuge and figured it was another communication thing. Humanity’s first miscommunication with an intelligent alien race. Glad I could be a part of it.”
Andy Weir, Project Hail Mary
