Omg you’re telling me he’s lived on Erid for 16 YEARS!! I loved how they accepted him and did everything to keep him alive.

I love that Rocky got dressed up for the celebration of them making Taomeba that thrives in Threeworld and Venus!!

“Fist Me!”

Omg so cute.

“Working with Rocky is like having the world's best engineer from 1950 on the ship with me.”

Whys that actually so cute.

“"We're dead in space. We're stuck here forever."
"Not forever," Rocky says.
I perk up. "No?"
"No. Orbit decay soon. Then we die."”

Are you shitting me? No. They’ve been through too much for them to almost die.

“"Yes. Things are good. All is good!"
"Yeah. For once, everything's going great."
Then the lights go out.”

I swear they can’t get a break can they?!

"We've lost our primary and secondary science specialists."
"This is nightmare," said Dimitri.
"Dr. Grace. I want a short list of possible replacements."

Poor Ryland he worked closely with both the scientists and now they are both gone. It is so sad. But still doesn’t explain how he is the one who has to do it.

"That makes no sense," I said. "Those generators use a tiny, tiny bit of Astrophage to make electricity. Nowhere near enough to blow up a building."

How did it happen then? Maybe it was an actual attack or smth

I love how he casual sees the flash but doesn’t think anything of it because there’s “always jeep headlights in his windows” but actually was the research building 50 km away. With Shapiro and Dubois inside.

"Not all Eridians willing to die for others."
launch facilities
I chuckle. "Not all humans either."
"You and me are good people," Rocky says.
"Yeah." I smile. "I suppose we are."

Awe that’s so cute that they can bond over their sacrifices to their planets however isn’t Rocky able to go home if he has so much fuel? So it wasn’t a sacrifice for him? Except it was he just used less fuel to get to his place.
