    I watched this and immediately downloaded Project Hail Mary and completed it in a single sitting while driving from San Diego to Eugene Oregon. It’s my favorite book now. Period. I’m about to read it again.

    Yes! At 40:08 Andy talks about the Eridians not knowing about Relativity. I always thought that was one of the coolest things in the story. And yeah, I'm kinda tired of the aliens always being the more superior race over humans. I was waiting for them to talk about that Relativity thing. I loved how Rocky's mind was blown when Grace explained it.

      2) Look up “Aliens never invented the wheel”
      3) Check out the Literature tab
      4) Enjoy a LOT of book suggestions that also cover that kind of theme.
      I love it too! It’s one of my favourite sci-fi subjects.

The subject matter was very doomsday but the whole book was light-hearted (for the most part.) Lovely! Absolutely lovely. Listened to this on your podcast on Spotify and thought, “why not?” Liked hearing Andy geek out about something he’s clearly passionate about and you just letting him speak. A lot of interviewers talk all over their guests.

    Joe - thanks for this incredible interview! Brilliant, hard sci-fi stories seem rare, so I really have wanted to geek out with others on this title. The release of the video was perfectly timed as I just completed my second pass on the audiobook. Thrilled to hear a sequel may be in the works. The only challenge for me with the audiobook was having Ray Porter narrate since he also performed in the Bobiverse series. For a while, it felt like Bob was on the ship. Now I'll be thinking of Grace the next time I listen to a story that Ray voices!

    This story craves a sequel, I wanna know how earth fared during this 20 year+ ordeal, societal collapse, and then how they dare with (hopefully) Grace’s return. This story could expand anywhere! More details about Rocky’s society & evolution would be fascinating. How earth has coped with astrophage, given how dangerous and energy dense the organism is.

    Hi. I'm super excited to have found this book. It caught my glimpse as I saw it as a recommendation on Obamas instagram haha. I suffer from depression and for a long time I had difficulties to pick up a book although I love sci-fi. Also I watched the Martian a lot. It really really helped me. Both books are centered around loneliness and finding a reason to make your journey worth it.

    Lovely conversation! Mr. Andy Weir have a very beauty way to tell hard sci fi storys. I remember one episode on the Star Trek franchise (think was on "Enterprise") where an alien consul was horrified because the Captain Archer invited the delegation for dinner...
    Looking ahead on the channel video list, you have some very "heavy weight" minds in here and, as usual, exceeded expectations, Mr. Scott. Deepfully thank you for that and... maybe you can make a round with Prof. Edmund Copeland sometime? (excuse my rusty South American english)

I hope he does a good job, but when i look at him i don't see scientist, or grade school teacher.

    I'd like to hear your take on it, as I didn't know the existence of aliens visiting earth was officially acknowledged by the US government.
    Sorry if you think I'm playing a prank. I assure you, I'm dead serious. Maybe nothing of importance came of the military disclosure to US Congress after all?

      My base opinion: speculative crap.
      The videos I have seen are unconvincing and are easily explained by mundane phenomena. The Pentagon doesn't necessarily rule out "extraterrestrials" but that's a FAR cry from confirming aliens are visiting Earth.
      Hard physical evidence is the arbiter here, not blurry images and videos and a basketful of "maybes".
      Let's see a piece of a spacecraft hull. Maybe an alien transistor. Or hell, just aliens trash. Isotope analysis would be sufficient to determine it ain't from around here and is the result of intelligent manufacturing.
      That would put an end to it.
