Wow hadn't noticed that Mark was in such a hurry lol
DAMN bro, hydrogen wouldn't completely react with oxygen, and Mark just used his high school level chemistry a bit, assuming it would, which now feels kind of hilarious to me.
He's a botanist anyway. What else should I even anticipate?

The story actually feels way less dramatic compared to the movie.
Anyway I'm finished, wow!

Wow!
Electrolyze the water Mark brought with him to get Hydrogen as additional fuel? DAMN SMART. Didn't expect the two thing to be related.
And yes, the modification. I remember it since I've read it for the first time, but wow, such radical!
Finally realized why I love it. SO DAMN HARDCORE!

Made it to Schiaparelli, bypassed the sandstorm... And the rover rolled.
I knew it Andy, it's a damn sci-fi.

Mark is testing the modification on the rover as planned.
Energy from solar panels will reduce because of a Martian sandstorm? At least it's a fiction, Mark is going to working it out.

Pathfinder's dead, as expected (cuz it's a DAMN SCI-FI, this is just how story works).

Rich Purnell Maneuver.
Get to Ares 4 MAV in Schiaparelli, rendezvous with Hermes, which will be in a flyby.
DAMN didn't notice Andy Weir's incredibly hardcore settings here.
Raumflugmechanik! Already love it.

Why did I just stop writing long updates?
DAMN, at least I've already known the end—Mark won't die, which is a really good news to me.
Still going.
