Project Hail Mary opened in theaters last week, introducing the world to Rocky, the alien creature whose friendship with the main character, Ryland Grace, forms the heart of the story. Rocky quickly became a fan favorite of readers of the book, partly because of the extensive research and imagination put into the creature by the author, Andy Weir. In today’s video, I have Andy Weir join me to break down everything you could possibly want to know about Rocky, from his (not so) fictional planet to his crazy anatomy. It’s a masterclass in speculative biology that will amaze amaze amaze you.
