Rehan Ali asked Andy Weir:

Can you give any advice to any authors looking to research and write an authentic "hard-science" sci-fi story? Is it possible to pull it off if you're not already a domain expert with a strong educational background in the area you're writing about?

Lianda Ludwig asked Andy Weir:

I really enjoyed your book, and recommended it to my book club. My question is, how did you learn about all of the science/engineering needed to explain how to survive on Mars? Would those solutions really work? Thanks- and keep writing!

Roger Mitchell

Roger Mitchell asked Andy Weir:

What prompted you to write The Martian? What was your inspiration for the character? Did you have multiple story lines or did you always know how the ending would shape itself?
