If the oxygenator breaks down, I get suffocated. If the water catcher breaks, I die of thirst. If HAB cracks, I’m just going to explode. If none of these things happen, at some point I will run out of food and starve to death. So yeah, I’m on the shit.

The book Martian is everything you wanted from a short story. The book is also the book behind the movie “The Martin”

Think of the book as, Apollo 13…. On mars…… BEST SPACE ACCIDENTS.

The book is about an astronaut who is left on Mars when his crew thought he was killed by a sandstorm. Now he is stranded on Mars, and must take up the fight against Mars, the lifeless planet.

The first pages he asks many questions to himself, and answers them himself.
