I really enjoyed this! The scientific explanations went over my head a bit so I did find myself skipping big chunks of the book because I just didn’t understand what was going on. 
It’s sort of the same characters and formula (ish)  ‘The Martian’ used, but I guess if you’ve found something that works stick to it! 
Overall it was an interesting read, and I really loved Rocky.

Also I would literally die for Rocky

I did love this so much. I saw lots of people say they found it info-dump-y but I’m such a space nerd I found that part to be really cool. It was fun and heart warming and captivating.

At about the halfway point of the Hail Mary Project, I knew exactly how it was going to end. I knew all the beats it was gonna hit. And I still enjoyed every minute of it.

Comforting, almost to the point of being saccharine. But like. Just so good. 

It's like if you took the intellectual, self-serious 2010's sci-fi movies (Interstallar, Arrival, Oblivion, Gravity) and then injected them with JOY (and a smidge of Roland Emmerich).
