I feel like I would have liked this book a lot more if I hadn't been comparing it to the Martian. It's got the same realism through the details, but the characters are a bit more of letdown. I found them much more annoying than the protagonist of the Martian. It also fails because of the further distance from now. The Martian felt like something that could happen in the next couple years, but this feels farther away, and therefore, less realistic.

Also, I'm probably one of the only people who read both of these books, but did anyone else notice how similar the plot is to that of Luna: New Moon?
