The Martian by Andy Weir (Book Summary) - Minute Book Report

Показать описание

This is a quick book summary of The Martian by Andy Weir. This channel discusses and reviews books, novels, and short stories through drawing...poorly.

Transcript: This is a story about a man named Mark Watney, an astronaut who is left behind on a mission to Mars during a sandstorm. His spacesuit gets punctured with an antennae, but he survives and watches as the rest of the Ares 3 crew flies away. He moves into the Hab and begins making a plan for survival.

As a botanist and mechanical engineer, Watney first cultivates the soil so that he can grow his own food supply, as he estimates that he’ll need to survive for at least four years before rescue. He mixes Martian soil with Earth soil and then plants potatoes.

Watney succeeds in adding water to the atmosphere and to the soil, but then he realizes that the atmosphere is filling with hydrogen, which could explode if charged. He figures out a solution to burn away the extra hydrogen, but there is a small explosion. Fortunately, everything is intact and he is successful in stabilizing the air.

Back on Earth, the world mourns the loss of Watney. However, after viewing a few satellite photos, NASA officials realize that Watney is still alive. The announcement is made to the world and NASA turns all of its resources to trying to get Watney back home safely.

Watney figures that his best way to be rescued is to travel to the location of the Ares 4 mission to Mars. It’s far away so he begins running tests on how he will get there. He enhances one of the rovers with solar panels and a radioactive power supply.
