"Project Hail Mary", the new movie based on author Andy Weir's book of the same name, is a wild romp through the cosmos.
The film explores many of the same areas of science as Weir's previous work, from engineering and psychology to planetary and stellar science. But it also ventures into new territory: speculative biology. Ahead of the movie's release, we had the chance to talk to Weir about his approach to astrobiology and alien life in "Project Hail Mary".
