Samantha Hines asked Andy Weir:

I really appreciated the strong and well drawn roles for women in your book, which is something that is often lacking in hard scifi. Was this a conscious decision on your part or have we just progressed far enough as a society that we can take it as given? ;-) Thanks very much, loved the book!

Steve Garriott asked Andy Weir:

With science fiction writers talking about trying to write stories that inspire the next generation, what kind of impact do you think science fiction has on the future of technology?

Bob

Bob asked Andy Weir:

How much of the technology (spacecraft, lander, spacesuits, tent, etc) that you include is "NASA has this in use today" and how much is "we could do this if we wanted to, we've just never bothered to", and how much of it did you have to just make up something brand new that humans invented just for the trip to Mars?
