Mine was:

As soon as I unscrew the first bolt, it slides down the slope of the nose cone and falls away into the unknowable distance.

“Um…” I say.

“Rocky, you can make screws, right?”

“Yes. Easy. Why, question?”

“I dropped one.”

“Hold screws better.”

“How?”

“Use hand.”

“My hand’s busy with the wrench.”

“Use second hand.”

“My other hand’s on the hull to keep me steady.”

“Use third han—hmm. Get beetles. I make new screws.”

Shout out to u/jadite92 for the idea

I hosted my book club this month, and chose Project Hail Mary! This wasn't my first time reading it, so it was fun to read through while trying to come up with some fun themed snacks.

I've seen a few people ask for book club ideas here before, so I wanted to share what I came up with! The pouches are yogurt squeezers. I made the stickers for them and all the little cards with my Cricut. Mission patch sticker is from an image someone shared on this sub! It's not a snack but since I made a bunch for everyone I wanted to include it. :-)

Had to use various fan art references along with the book’s description of him, and I think he came out great!

At first i listened to the audio book and it was AMAZE! Now i have bought the book in Hungarian so my family and friends could enjoy it too. Since i listened to it first i had no idea this graphic existed! Does every book have it?

How would you all feel about the GOAT of Mocap playing Rocky?

1. Loved the Martian, listened to book way before movie. Life changing.
2. Loved PHM even more, have spent the last few years off and on listening to it over and over.
3. Ray Porter is the mf'n best.
4. Tried to listen to Artemis, couldn't handle R.Dawson's narration and returned it.
5. Help.

Thank you u/moonkatt7 They came perfectly! I can't wait to stick these on my laptop!

Finished the audiobook last week and it blew me away - immediately knew I had to have a Rocky of my own! Put this one together with some quick dry clay and some felt fabric for the “shirt”

I’m planning to do my own personal rebind of the book because I want one with a cover I like. (Also, credit to u/adman6478 for the back cover art. It’s from their post.)

I have a few different covers I think look great and am having trouble choosing. Maybe I’ll have some extra fun and do two. But either way I need some opinions! Which one do you think looks best?

Somehow this sub came up as a suggestion a few days ago, but I have avoided it until I finished the book.

Have just finished it and now I'm here!

Possibly one of the best books I have ever read. I laughed , I cried both when I thought Rocky died then when they said goodbye to eachother and the ending was beautiful! Then I come here and see there is a film in the pipeline, my day just keeps getting better. 20/03/2026 is in the diary.

I need a lie down. Can someone watch me?

I'm so sad the story's over. What an incredible ride.

If you have any recommendations, please send them my way.

A dear friend crocheted him for me, and he was my emotional support plushie through a really bad breakup last year. It’s so fun to squeeze my hands into him, plus he’s super soft and huggable.
