🎬 **[Author Andy Weir on the 99% scientific accuracy of his film *Project Hail Mary*.](https://www.nytimes.com/2026/03/18/science/hail-mary-andy-weir.html?unlocked_article_code=1.UFA.YzOO.C4gLpJuMR6BF)** I enjoyed the movie (and book) very much. If you get a chance, go see it while it’s still in theaters.
