So now then to get into science, stuff like that, you need to have a certain curiosity and a desire to learn.

You need to be able to formulate hypothetical scenarios in your mind and then want to find out what happens.

So all these things need to be true in any alien that you might ever meet.

Because otherwise they wouldn't be out in space.

Right.

If any of those things are missing.

So you have an entity that already has a concept built in of cooperation, collaboration, language, pack instinct, empathy.

So that to me means it's more likely that if we ever met an alien, it would be a pleasant affair.

Well, those are different answers, right?

For Drew, it's just, I know, like he proved with The Martian, he gets me.

He understands like what I'm going for.

He, he, he, he, we're kind of on the same wavelength.

So I know I felt very confident handing it over to Drew.

And when we were, so on The Martian, they just gave me money and told me to go away and that was fine.

But on Project Hail Mary, I'm a producer.

Yeah.

So I actually had some say on things and we all agreed we wanted Drew to write the screenplay.

Yeah.

And,

he was not available.
