– Unnecessary disambiguation of an unambiguous title. Target was a redirect to this very article. It was converted to a dab page, adding only mention of the nonexistent film adaptation of this same novel. Οἶδα (talk) 18:54, 19 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Project Hail Mary (novel) → Project Hail Mary
 * Project Hail Mary → ?
 * Note: Project Hail Mary titles a page with content and so it must also be dispositioned.

 * Support per nomination. If / when the film version gains sufficient notability for a standalone Wikipedia entry, the disambiguation page can be reinstated. —Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 20:28, 19 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Support per nom and Roman Spinner. 162 etc. (talk) 21:57, 19 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Support per nom. Can be moved to (novel) and (film) depending on notability. At the moment it is only the book. ~ Ablaze (talk) 06:54, 26 May 2021 (UTC)

How does Rocky's dialog read in the print version?
I have the audiobook and Eridian speech is modulated through a series of chords. Sounds a bit like "Harder Faster Stronger" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gAjR4_CbPpQ

Now I wonder what it looks like in the print-version of the book. I assume it looks differently to normal text. Can someone please confirm? It would be a quirky addition to the article, if - when true - was a sample.

It uses an italic font. --2003:C1:C709:F000:A100:1234:577C:4DF3 (talk) 08:41, 24 February 2022 (UTC)


 * Italic font is used for the translation. Rocky’s voice itself is depicted as printed musical notes (without a @staff). 66.58.168.119 (talk) 18:11, 6 December 2023 (UTC)

error: "coma-resistant genes"
The section "Before Launch" states that potential astronauts are restricted to people with "coma-resistant genes". This should be changed to "coma-resistance genes". "Coma-resistant genes" means the genes themselves are resistant to coma. However, the intended meaning is that these genes provide the person who possesses them with coma resistance - i.e. "coma-resistance genes". Aerinah (talk) 18:48, 28 November 2022 (UTC)

Arti-what?
From the "Production" section:
 * In a profile in The New York Times, Weir says that after completing The Martian, he began a multi-volume space opera called Zhek, which was about a substance that could absorb electromagnetic radiation and use it as a fuel for interstellar travel. He wrote 75,000 words before abandoning the project and beginning on Artemis.

The Artimis title is mentioned here without a link or any prior reference. – AndyFielding (talk) 06:33, 21 December 2022 (UTC)


 * Okay, I tracked down Artemis and added a link to it in the text. (I'd now delete my preceding post—but for some reason, the mobile version of WP's Talk editor doesn't let us edit existing content, even our own. – AndyFielding (talk) 06:38, 21 December 2022 (UTC)
