Holy shit. I didn't actually expect this to make me cry? It was just...wow.
Mark Watley is an amazing protagonist. I loved his dark humour. His tenacity. The rest of the crew of Hermes was great too, I feel like we got to know them all pretty well. The science went way over my head, but still. It was obvious that a lot of research went into this, and that Andy Weir knows what he's writing about.
What stood out to me, though, were the last few pages. Just the imagery of billions of people rooting for one cause, coming together to save one man. It gave me chills.
