At this point in the book, Mark has faced a lot of different challenges. Luckily, he gained communication with NASA, but just as things are looking up, the HAB (where he’s been living this whole time) essentially blows up. The entryway to the HAB, where it lets oxygen in and allows you to take off your helmet, blew up, and Mark was forced to fix it with mostly just duct tape and some plastic. Right now at NASA, their working on a way to get Mark home, but the director of NASA thinks that he should just stick it out and allow his crew members to make it home safely. I think this is a bad call, because I doubt Mark has the resources to survive on Mars for another year or two with what he has now. When the HAB blew up, luckily he was able to save most of his crops, but some were ruined. If I was up on Mars with Mark, I would do my best to help with whatever I can, but there's no way I would have the knowledge he does of how stuff works up there. I’m sure he would like having somebody else up there as well, because he’s been surviving on his own for roughly about a year now. I think I would get along with Mark really well, and he sounds like a really funny, and fun guy. The way he makes the best of the horrifying situation he's in is very impressive. I think I would struggle to get along with the director of NASA, because he doesn’t sound like the nicest guy, and he seems very selfish. He tends to only do things for himself or for money, rather than for Marks life.

Really like how you mentioned your perspective on all the things that happening in the book. Also I am surprised that this sounds a lot like the movie I thought maybe there would be differences and there is sometimes between books and movies. Book sounds good. The nasa director also does not sound nice.

You really helped bring me up to speed with what has happened in your book since I last heard from you. I thought that your point of view of being there was really good and I can agree with you on many of the subjects.
