Valarie asked Andy Weir:

I understand why you ended The Martian where you did, but I'm dying for more! Did you ever write past the final published chapter? Will you share it with us?

Andy Weir No, there's no content taking place after the book. I'd rather end it with you wanting more than end it on a long epilogue that you get sick of reading.

You detailed methodically and intriguingly detailed the survival methods on Mars. How did you research the physics and chemistry of life on Mars?

Chris asked Andy Weir:

Hi Mr Weir! I wanted to tell you what a big fan I am of The Martian. I read about the email you received from NASA and how you thought it might have been "the coolest email" you ever received. Just wondering if you have received any COOLER emails since then?

M. asked Andy Weir:

When and how did you develops the idea for both Mark Whatney and his scenario on Mars?
