Don Mario asked Andy Weir:

Sorry about the "two kids" question: that was for Doerr. My question to you was about possible future "cross-overs" with Bradbury. I'd love to read about real marians observing (possibly helping) Watney without being spotted. What do you think?

Andy Weir Nah, no extraterrestrials. I was keeping it very true to existing science.

Sam Bossen asked Andy Weir:

The Martian rides a delicate line between giving enough detailed scientific information that interests the reader without being overwhelming. Do you plan to take this approach with a new story?

Kyler Smith
Kyler Smith asked Andy Weir:

Do you have plans to write more science fiction like The Martian? I really enjoyed it as it was very modern and realistic but still futuristic.
