So, here's a new thread!
I know a few of you guys have finished it, or are on the way. Let's talk more, and have more spoilers!
I for one, felt ambivalent about the NASA scenes - they made a lot of sense, and kept the plot moving, and gave you some sense about what was happening, but at the same time, I read them as fast as possible so as to get back to Mark's exciting adventures. Anyone else?

I had no problems with the main character in that I think he was trying to stay positive and not be depressed- like that's how he would have handled an ongoing crisis and he was specially selected for those traits.
What I found hard to believe is that other people would have wanted/liked to hang around him. For a guy being alone and abandoned on mars, I thought the personality was perfect- but he didn't seem particularly charismatic, no?

edit: and I fancy they didn't really. Like he was kind of more tolerated, especially given that he was trapped on mars and everyone thought they were likely talking to a dead man.
