NASA's Artemis II crew just gave Ryan Gosling's Project Hail Mary movie another big shout out from orbit. For the second time, they're hyping the sci-fi flick that stars Gosling as an astronaut saving humanity. This latest nod came right during their historic lunar flyby. Earlier this week, the crew flew farther from Earth than any humans before, hitting 252,760 miles. That beat the Apollo 13 record from 1970 of 248,655 miles. Commander Reed Weisman described the moon, and mission control fired back with the film's excited alien catchphrase. Fans lit up online, spotting the reference to Rocky, the quirky Eritian buddy who helps Gosling's character. It's a fun crossover blending real space feats with Weir's bestselling book and its big screen adaptation. The movie's already buzzing worldwide thanks to these cosmic endorsements.
