[Mickey 17] About Mickey’s memories…

r/

How could he remember what it was like to die if they only backed up his memories once every week or two? Did I miss a detail? Even if they back him up immediately before a mission his back up still wouldn’t have memories of dying but his memories of dying play a large role in the story.

    I’m pretty sure was plugged in to whatever they call the memory machine a few times during his early deaths, when they injected him with the virus and when he was in the big tank with the poison gas.

    So he has memories of at least 2 deaths, and while people on the ship ask him what it’s like to die they probably don’t realise that he doesn’t remember every single death because they simply don’t value him enough to think about it properly.
