The Martian: How to Survive on the Red Planet

Scientist Mark Watney came to Mars as part of a space mission. Due to a sandstorm, the entire crew was forced to leave the planet immediately. Mark Watney couldn’t reach the station in time. He has to figure out how to survive for four years on a lifeless red planet in order to return home on the next shuttle. In 2015, director Ridley Scott masterfully filmed a gripping, emotionally intense story. But could this story have happened for real? What is the planet closest to us, and how can you survive on it? Read about all this in a new book by the well-known scientist and writer Anton Pervushin.
