Project Hail Mary

by Andy Weir

Self sacrifice = good? Ok. Good = self sacrifice? Not necessarily. (No self sacrifice then not good?) Good can be many other virtues that don’t require self sacrifice. Also, note that if protagonist is so smart and useful to society, then he is depriving society of his value by self sacrificing. Overall, this whole section is a lot of self congratulatory.

smell is just tasting at range.

The Hail Mary has always looked like something out of a Heinlein novel.

Read that “I’m as good of a Sci Fi author as “Robert Hienlein”.
