Scientist Mode: Building an Astrophage Setup If you were a molecular scientist tasked with cultivating something like Astrophage as thespaceship fuel. — A fictional bacteria which is known as the star killer and imagined in Project Hail Mary — how would you begin? While Astrophage itself belongs to science fiction, building the right setup follows real-world engineering logic. Let’s break it down.
Step 1: Preparation – Protection Comes First Before any system is built, safety is non-negotiable. A controlled setup requires proper protective gear to ensure stability, focus, and risk reduction in demanding environments. What you need:
1. Protective Glasses
## Amber Safety Glasses – Euro Protective Eyewear for Industrial & Construction Use R13.80
## Green Safety Glasses / Spectacles Wrap around R16.10
## Pinnacle Clear Safety Glasses Wrap around R16.10
2. Facial Masks
