Hi Susan, that is true, I am the author. Found this discussion interesting and wanted to add my two cents (and 250 pages). I apologize for not including that. My naivete as a new author shines brightly. Take care.

Okay I’ll check it out. For disclosure, you’re the author of Red Hope right? Thx for stopping by

It starts with the Curiosity rover stumbling upon some unusual fossils on Mars. It transmits the images to Earth right before it loses power. I hadn’t heard of Packing For Mars, but will give it a try too.

Hmm. Thanks Monika, I’ll have to check that out! You must be a space buff.

Really loved this read. I like Joy’s suggestion about reading Mary Roach’s Packing for Mars, too. I read that immediately after The Martian. Fun combination. 🙂

Thanks Joy, I’ll check out that book by Mary Roach. I didn’t know about that one.

Now, if I could just find time for that little reading project!

Yeah Carrie, it’s got quite a bit of technical stuff in it. In the middle my eyes fuzzed over for awhile. But still glad I read it.
