Bruce
Bruce asked Andy Weir:

Truly amazing representation of survival on Mars. If you could, would you want to be on Ares 4?

Andy Weir Nope! I'm nowhere near brave enough to go into space at all, let alone to Mars.

More Answered Questions

David Wing
David Wing asked Andy Weir:

First off, great book. I almost wept at the end, but I'm very macho and held it back. My question is; how do you feel about your novel being turned into a film and do you agree with the casting? Thanks and I can't wait for your next book.

Bob Dailey
Bob Dailey asked Andy Weir:

The premise of The Martian seems like a "one-time-only" premise. Now that you've developed so many multi-dimensional characters, have you found a way to weave them into a new story? Does that even interest you, or are you working on an entirely new premise and story with other characters?

Erin Mcateer
Erin Mcateer asked Andy Weir:

What are you hoping to see out of the movie adaptation and what is the extent of your involvement in it? Also thank you for making a book heavily involved with science accessible to the science illiterate. :-)
