Even though this is super short, it's really ironic and I like that it was added.

Super short prequel story for The Martian. I'm a big fan of Weir's writing style. This gets you kinda hyped to read The Martian for sure.

A nice little short story playing out the scenario before the Mars mission with typical Mark Watney humor.

This was a pretty cool idea. The short story takes place a few months before the Martian and it gives the reader insight into the lives of the characters before the mission.
There wasn't much information here, other than the different team building exercises and a bit of background on some characters.
If you're worried that you're gonna miss out on a lot of information if you don't read this then stop worrying! This is just a fun little story that is just there for insight and backstory.

I love the story of Mark Watney in The Martian. So far, I've read that book 9 times and am working on my tenth reading! :)
