Backstory:

After being laughed out of Science Academia due to a paper he wrote, Grace becomes an 8th grade science teacher. He’s happy teaching until it’s discovered that the sun is dimming, and Eva Stratt(The woman in charge of the “Hail Mary” project) decides the lead researcher of the bacteria eating the sun should be Grace.

Grace names the bacteria “Astrophage” and discovers how to make it reproduce, and then helps Eva Stratt as her second in command (without realising he’s her second in command).

When the originally selected Astronauts die in an explosion, Grace is forced into the ship as a replacement, having his memories of the fact it was against his will temporarily erased.

Grace wakes up on the Hail Mary, no memories of who he is and why he's here. He remembers, slowly, and discovers that he needs to find out how to eliminate the sun eating bacteria “Astrophage” With the help of an alien he names “Rocky”, Grace figures how to kill the Astrophage, and then the two spitways, to return to their own planets.

Weeks after splitting, Grace realises that Rocky's ship won't make it back to its planet, so Grace goes on a rescue mission to pick Rocky up and take him home, since Erid, Rocky's planet, is closer than Earth.

When the two arrive at Erid on the Hail Mary, Rocky's people build a “bio dome”, a large glorified terrarium to house Grace since Erid’s air is highly toxic to humans.

The “bio dome” is set up like a rocky plateau with a modest cabin, and a sandy beach with a warm ocean. all climate controlled for Grace’s comfort.
