|
Rocky’s ship, the Blip A is constructed of flat panels. The Hail Mary is consists of three cylinders with tanks and engine sections in the back with a crew compartment up front. The book has an image of the Hail Mary. |
The Blip A is not of flat panel construction. The Hail Mary was what appear to be solar panels near and aft end of the ship. The crew section is a long cylinder. |
|
The robot arms on the Hail Mary keep Grace shaved and groomed during the trip while he is in a coma. |
Grace wakes up with long hair and a beard.
|
|
The Hail Mary is well controlled by the ship’s computer, Grace rarely needs to take any sort of manual control. |
Grace manually flies the Hail Mary while sampling the upper atmosphere of the planet Adrian. |
|
Grace meets his friend Marissa for lunch, she tells him about the sun dimming before the president announces it to the world. |
This does not happen in the film.
