[43], In October 2015, NASA presented a new web tool to follow Watney's trek across Mars,[44] and details of NASA's next steps, as well as a health hazards report,[45][46] for a real-world human journey to Mars.[47][48].

Lewis hastily improvises a plan to intercept the MAV by firing Hermes' attitude thrusters and then blowing a hole in the front airlock with an improvised sugar-and-liquid-oxygen bomb, using the thrust from the escaping air to reduce speed. He said he knows the exact date of each day in the book. Nothing really happens.

NASA eventually discovers that Watney is alive when satellite images of the landing site show evidence of his activities; they begin devising ways to rescue him, but withhold the news of his survival from the rest of the Ares 3 crew, on their way back to Earth aboard the Hermes spacecraft, so as not to distract them.
