Something like that happened in the book "The Martian" by Andy Weir. I loved that part!

Project Hail Mary needs way more attention!

I'm sure it will get more attention when the movie comes out

I got really excited about hexagons

I'm not even sure that's the strangest thing! I'm definitely looking forward to the movie. I just hope they do it justice.
