Sol 6-42 (chap 1-5)

[Erica]

This thread is for the first part of the book, where we learn about Mark's time on Mars before we start hearing from NASAs POV.

There will be spoilers, so if you haven't read chapters 1-5 then don't go further until you do. Or just don't get mad that details will be discussed
