Dorian
Dorian asked Andy Weir:

Which scene did you most enjoy writing, and why?

Andy Weir I really liked writing the scene where they launch Iris. Starting from the Launch Status Check and through to the results of the launch.

Fairyhedgehog asked Andy Weir:

I can't see any questions coming up! This isn't a question, just to say I got your book on Kindle and I loved it so much I bought a hard copy so all my family can read it too. It's the best hard sci fi I've read in a very long time and I love the character of your narrator. Did you expect the story to be so successful?

Kunal Karmakar
Kunal Karmakar asked Andy Weir:

Hello Mr. Andy Weir, I have read the book "The Martian" and I really like it. I just want to know what was your inspiration for writing this novel?

Jake
Jake asked Andy Weir:

Hey Andy, great book. How much of the science did you have to figure out before the novel really started coming together? What was that process like? Were you researching and revising previous material with new info?
