Six Trillion Miles - An Ode to Project Hail Mary

Summary:

Just a fun little rewrite of the lyrics of 500 Miles by Peter, Paul, & Mary for Project Hail Mary.

 

I enjoyed this movie a lot. I never really watched movies, I think I could count how many I've watched on my fingers and toes, but I'm glad this was one of those ones. Can't wait to read the book

 

Rocky and Grace save Universe!!! 👎👎

Notes:

I am fairly new to AO3 and I haven't really bothered to figure out how to use work skins yet, so please use a fully-black background work skin to enjoy it to the fullest!!!

(See the end of the work for more notes.)

Work Text:

SIX TRILLION MILES: AN ODE TO PROJECT HAIL MARY

The spaceship Hail Mary drifting in space, stars scattered in the background mixed with dusty-like clouds of stars and galaxies.

EVEN IN DARKNESS, WE GLOW.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

…IF YOU MISS THE SHIP I’M ON

 

YOU WILL KNOW THAT I AM GONE.

 

YOU CAN SEE THAT RED LINE GLOW

A TRILLION MILES.

 

The Petrova Line stretches from the top left of the frame to the center.

A TRILLION MILES

A TRILLION MILES

A TRILLION MILES

A TRILLION MILES

 

YOU CAN SEE THAT RED LINE GLOW

 

A TRILLION MILES.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

LORD I’M ONE

               ONE

LORD I’M TWO

               LORD IM TWO

LORD I’M THREE

               LORD—

LORD I’M FOUR

                I’M FOUR

LORD I’M SIX TRILLION MILES

                 LORD IM SIX TRILLION MILES

FROM MY HOME.

                 FROM MY HOME.


The planet Erid, blue colored atmosphere with lines of gas similar to Jupiter's and a magnificent ring encircling it.

SIX TRILLION MILES

SIX TRILLION MILES            

SIX TRILLION MILES

SIX TRILLION MILES           

SIX TRILLION MILES

SIX TRILLION MILES           

SIX TRILLION MILES

SIX TRILLION MILES           

The moon on the left with its visible craters and the Earth in the center with only a crescent visible.

LORD I'M SIX TRILLION MILES

FROM MY HOME.

 

 

 

 

 

 

NOT A SUIT ON MY BACK

NOT A TANK IN MY RESERVES

LORD I CAN’T GO-A HOME

THIS-A-WAY.

 

 

 

 

THIS-A-WAY

THIS-A-WAY

THIS-A-WAY

THIS-A-WAY

 

 

 

 

LORD I CAN’T GO  A-HOME

THIS-A-WAY.

The Hail Mary and Rocky's ship next to each other. The colossal size of Rocky's ship outsizing the Hail Mary.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

IF YOU MISS THE SHIP I’M ON

YOU WILL KNOW THAT I AM GONE

YOU CAN SEE THAT RED LINE GLOW

A TRILLION MILES.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Hail Mary and the Erudite ship undock and beginning to slowly drift away from each other.
