MD asked Andy Weir:

What awards has it won so far? I really enjoyed this awesome book. I think more awards will follow.

Brian Wilson
Brian Wilson asked Andy Weir:

This question contains spoilers… (view spoiler)[ 1) Why did NASA not immediately start work on a resupply mission for Watney when they discovered he was alive? (it could have still not gotten to Mars to preserve the plot.)

2) according to the book, Watney would have been ok if the RTG cracked so long as the capsules inside it stayed intact. I was curious when I finished the book why you didn't have the RTG case crack without breaking the internal capsules.
(hide spoiler)]

Icarus Akamatsu
Icarus Akamatsu asked Andy Weir:

I used to think all I needed to survive in any situation was my trusty towel... now I have the urge to always carry a sack of spuds around with me... Has 'The Martian' put you off potatoes for life?
