  "You just have to find someone to be brave for", is what Captain Yao told Grace about being brave enough to go on a suicide mission. And in the end, Grace found that person, Rocky. Love this film so much, they really did the book justice, and I recommend anyone whos seen the film to read/listen to the book. You'll find out more behind the scenes and get more context for certain things, plus you'll learn MUCH MORE about Rocky, his planet and species.

  The answer to your aging question is, when you are flying close to the speed of light, time works differently. While Grace traveled those 12 light years to Tau Ceti, only 4 years passed for him while all 12 passed for Earth. Then the time spent figuring out the problem and the time for the probes to fly back the 12 light years to Earth happened too. Grace may have aged 10 years while 25 passed on Earth.

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=As45RTZB1Pk&amp;t=2847">47:27</a> So the reason why Rocky did all this stuff was that Rocky was trying to figure out some stuff about humans. What kind of air do we breathe, how do we “see” and such. <br><br>If you notice the wall Grace is looking at between him and Rocky is made of multiple different materials. Rocky, who uses echolocation, can see through all of them, but Grace could only see through the transparent one. This was Rocky’s way of figuring out how humans see. <br><br>If you also notice, after the bridge is reconnected there is air for Grace to breathe with, and the entire wall is transparent. This was Rocky’s way of making things suitable for Grace.

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=As45RTZB1Pk&amp;t=4847">1:20:47</a> When Grace was taking samples, some of the collector trays were facing the planet and some were facing the sun, and he marked which were which.<br><br>At <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=As45RTZB1Pk&amp;t=4745">1:19:05</a> you can see that he separated the samples into containers marked as TC (Tau Ceti) --&gt; ADRIAN and ADRIAN --&gt; TC, showing which direction each batch was traveling.

  Argon is a noble gas - meaning it does not react with any chemicals. At all. It&apos;s its own thing and it doesn&apos;t care about any other atoms/molecules, which makes it a perfect gas to put in a room with a &quot;thing&quot; that&apos;s eating the sun and you don&apos;t want that thing to die. Because if it does, you know for sure it wasn&apos;t the gas - because the gas can&apos;t affect the bacteria because it doesn&apos;t affect <b>anything</b>

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=As45RTZB1Pk&amp;t=896">14:56</a> Argon gas is whats known as an inert gas. It&apos;s a noble gas over on the far right end of the periodic table of elements. Since its outermost layer of electrons are full it doesn&apos;t must bond with anything which means it doesn&apos;t react with stuff. <br><br>So what we do is flood areas with the stuff to keep any unexpected things from happening with unknown stuff like the astrophage. <br><br>Why it&apos;s dangerous to us humans is well... We just don&apos;t run on it so we suffocate trying to breath it.

  Wow, you&apos;re the first reactor I&apos;ve seen that got that the astrophage were made of water before they spelled it out.

  I watched this on screening time this movie out on IMAX, one of greatest experience, worth for astronomies enthusiast beside Interstellar!

  It seems a few reactors miss this, but that wasn&apos;t 13 years at the beginning Grace calculated. It was 113.8 years for him to get back to Earth with the low fuel he currently had.

  Just jumping back to your point about why they couldn&apos;t gather the fuel directly from the Petrova Line - sure, Grace managed to scrape up maybe a single gram of astrophage for research. But the Hail Mary needs 2,000,000 kilograms of the stuff to fly! The astrophage are spread so thin that if he tried to vacuum up a full tank directly from space, he’d be out there scooping for thousands of years. Earth would be a giant ice cube long before he even hit 1%.
