Alina asked Andy Weir:

I'll admit I'm not a big Science Fiction fan but I loved The Martian! The scientific formulas and things Mark Watney did to survive were actually believable! I guess that is what makes a Science Fiction book great. How did you come up with those? Also, I listened to it on audio and the Narrator was Awesome!

Andy Weir Tons and tons of research. And yes, R C Bray (the narrator) did an amazing job.
