Lessons from Mars

When Earth Feels Like Mars

I am pretty sure I live on Earth. But sometimes—like today—I feel as if I’m living on Mars.

Let me back up.

I recently rewatched The Martian, based on Andy Weir’s incredible book. If you haven’t read or watched it, please stop reading this and go do that. I’ll wait. 🙂
