Gregg asked Andy Weir:

Everyone wants to know, what happened to Mark Watney when he returned to earth? Any ideas?

Andy Weir No,that's up to the reader to imagine. I ended the story when the conflict was resolved. I'd rather leave you wanting more than feeling like you had to trudge through a long epilogue.
