So freaking good. Most enjoyable SciFi (or novel in general) I have read for some time
So many awesome quotes, but here are a few I paused to write down:
"It's Hydrogenville in the hab"
How come Aquaman can control whales, they're mammals. Makes no sense
To them, equipment failure is terrifying, for me it's Tuesday
Ironman commander! Ironman
( this was Watney telling Lewis about the 'poking a hole in EVA suit' idea)
they did it because every human being has a basic instinct to help each other out
