Continuity mistake: Atmospheric pressure is inconsistent throughout the book. Grace says Erid has 29x Earth's pressure (because of the 1 ball:29 balls Rocky provides). But all Rocky can measure is the Hail Mary's pressure, and earlier Grace said it was only 40% of Earth's (Ch. 7: "the entire Hail Mary is at that 40 percent pressure"). So Erid would really be 29 x 40% = 11.6 times Earth normal. Also, the Hail Mary pressure is sometimes described as "0.33 atmospheres" (Ch. 27), or "one-fifth atmosphere" (Ch. 16).

Question: Weir makes a point of telling the reader the notes for the name "Adrian." Since he got the names from the movie Rocky, and since the theme song of that movie is "Eye of the Tiger", if I was Weir I would have made Adrian's name the first few notes (or the first few notes of the chorus) of that song. But I have no idea what "an A-below-middle-C major fifth, followed by an E-flat octave, and then a G-minor seventh" sounds like. Can anyone tell if these notes are from that song?
