[Discussion] Project Hail Mary - Andy Weir (Spoilers)
We are two weeks into the month of September now. I think this might be a reasonable amount of time for some readers to have completed this book if they started early this month. At least I finished it last week. I'll leave this thread pinned for the rest of the month and next weekend I'll create the poll for the next book of the month. That poll will end on the last day of the month and the cycle will continue.
Feel free to include as many spoilers as you want in your comments as the post itself is marked as containing spoilers.
I'm hoping someone else could get started or else I will have to. 😅
I enjoyed it. One thing that bothered me is that there was no need to evolve the predator organism in the ship and send the already evolved organism back. People back on earth would be perfectly capable of figuring that out and solving that problem. He should just have sent the organism sample immediately when he had it available. Delaying it put the entire mission in a great risk for no reason at all.
I understood this to be necessary because of the lack of advancement of science on Rocky’s planet. Evolution was a new concept. If he’s doing it for Rocky, might as well do it for Earth too.
