The Martian by Andy Weir is an action-packed, very (very) technical novel about what goes wrong when humans try to tamper with the angry red planet. Mark Watney, the main character, finds himself on Mars after being caught in a sand storm and being left for dead. He uses his botany skills and wry sense of humor to get himself through hundreds of days in the harsh Martian atmosphere. An interesting aspect of this novel is the fact that there are very few main characters--I would argue that the…

I am reading The Martian by Andy Weir, and I am on page 251. This book is about a man named Mark Watney. Mark is left on mars under the impression that his demise happened. He finds safety in the Hab, but the food available will only last him about 300 sols (days on mars). Even if anyone on Earth knew he was alive, a rescue trip would take over 800 sols to get to mars. When reading, I recognized three merits: humor, problem development and solutions, and details. The Martian can be very serious…

Mark did this because he to make more food so he can survive longer on mars. Andy Weir didn’t know at the time when he wrote the…

Whereas the heavy majority of big-budget space adventures set in present day or the near future pay little attention to scientific accuracy in the name of entertainment, The Martian is, at its core, about science. It is about the triumph of the scientific method and the value of education. Trapped alone on Mars, astronaut Mark Watney has to conduct what are essentially a series…
