原版電影小說先睹為快!
先來看看精彩評論:
評論於 2015年3月10日
雖然現在纔三月,但是這本書很有可能成為我的Book of the Year。一句話概括內容:一個被誤以為死翹翹而遺棄的宇航員馬剋在荒涼火星聲孤獨生活的549天。聽起來有點無聊?一點也不!每都驚險刺激且趣味橫生。一個又一個事關生死的難題擺在馬剋麵前,被他一次又一次用意想不到的巧妙方式解決。除瞭故事精彩,我喜歡它的一點是馬剋那種麵對問題不怨天尤人感傷哀嘆,而是罵娘之後埋頭解決問題的工程師精神。這本書應該成為全世界所有工程師創新思維和解決問題技巧的教科書!為我們中國航天驕傲!oops,好像不小心劇透瞭。
補充說明,書裏涉及的科學原理隻不過是中學物理化學程度,並不高深如《三體》,所以文科生不用擔心看不懂。但是人人都懂的科學原理,馬剋卻運用得很巧妙,這就是活學活用與死記硬背的區彆瞭。

這本書有關於太空,卻沒有光速飛船、星際穿越,目標僅僅是火星;也沒有帝國侵略、艦隊火並,拯救的隻是一個個體。但這並沒有讓這本書無聊。Watney 一次次化腐朽為神奇,用智慧和樂觀激勵我讀下去,和他一起麵對火星的無盡凶險。喜歡這樣的主角。

花瞭4天時間看完,趕在電影上映之前。
內容有趣的SCIENCE FICTION, 個人感受:
1,無論何時都要保持一顆樂觀活潑的心態,即便麵對無人理解的虛無境地;
2,冷靜,冷靜,再冷靜, 控製所有不良的情緒,方能麵對逆境和順境,從容不迫;
3,利用現有的所有資源和已經掌握的技能,周密的計劃+思考,同時不斷的檢查漏洞,多次驗證;
4,one step at a moment, MORE HASTE , LESS SPEED.

這是看得如此過癮的原版科幻小說。
評論於 2015年10月12日
真心不錯,牛B程序員寫的小說,技術上麵完全沒有問題,關鍵寫得很搞笑
評論於 2015年8月13日
在殘酷的現實中樂觀的尋找自救的方法,沒有精神上的崩潰靠的是豬腳強大的嘲諷模式,一步步下來把種種不可能變為可能,沒把內褲外穿但是個人英雄主義的完勝,去tm的虛無主義,這個纔是我們需要的

內容簡介
Six days ago, astronaut Mark Watney became one of the first people to walk on Mars.
Now, he's sure he'll be the first person to die there.
After a dust storm nearly kills him and forces his crew to evacuate while thinking him dead, Mark finds himself stranded and completely alone with no way to even signal Earth that he’s alive—and even if he could get word out, his supplies would be gone long before a rescue could arrive.
Chances are, though, he won't have time to starve to death. The damaged machinery, unforgiving environment, or plain-old "human error" are much more likely to kill him first.
But Mark isn't ready to give up yet. Drawing on his ingenuity, his engineering skills—and a relentless, dogged refusal to quit—he steadfastly confronts one seemingly insurmountable obstacle after the next. Will his resourcefulness be enough to overcome the impossible odds against him?
人類實現瞭在火星的登陸,而宇航員馬剋-沃特尼(Mark Watney)就是這個第*個登上火星的幸運兒,然而不幸的是,他也很可能將成為第*個死在這裏的地球人。由於一場沙塵暴,馬剋與他的團隊失聯,而惡劣的天氣也讓他們無法搜救他。孤身一人置身於火星這顆紅色星球的馬剋麵臨著飛船損毀、補己不足、惡劣環境等重重睏難,他必須想方設法在這個荒涼而狂野的星球活下來,並一直支撐到有人來救他迴地球。

文摘
Chapter 1
LOG ENTRY: SOL 6
I’m pretty much fucked.
That’s my considered opinion.
Fucked.
Six days into what should be the greatest two months of my life, and it’s turned into a nightmare.
I don’t even know who’ll read this. I guess someone will find it eventually. Maybe a hundred years from now.
For the record . . . I didn’t die on Sol 6. Certainly the rest of the crew thought I did, and I can’t blame them. Maybe there’ll be a day of national mourning for me, and my Wikipedia page will say, “Mark Watney is the only human being to have died on Mars.”
And it’ll be right, probably. ’Cause I’ll surely die here. Just not on Sol 6 when everyone thinks I did.
Let’s see . . . where do I begin?
The Ares Program. Mankind reaching out to Mars to send people to another planet for the very first time and expand the horizons of humanity blah, blah, blah. The Ares 1 crew did their thing and came back heroes. They got the parades and fame and love of the world.
Ares 2 did the same thing, in a different location on Mars. They got a firm handshake and a hot cup of coffee when they got home.
Ares 3. Well, that was my mission. Okay, not mine per se. Commander Lewis was in charge. I was just one of her crew. Actually, I was the very lowest ranked member of the crew. I would only be “in command” of the mission if I were the only remaining person.
What do you know? I’m in command.
I wonder if this log will be recovered before the rest of the crew die of old age. I presume they got back to Earth all right. Guys, if you’re reading this: It wasn’t your fault. You did what you had to do. In your position I would have done the same thing. I don’t blame you, and I’m glad you survived.
I guess I should explain how Mars missions work, for any layman who may be reading this. We got to Earth orbit the normal way, through an ordinary ship to Hermes. All the Ares missions use Hermes to get to and from Mars. It’s really big and cost a lot so NASA built only one.
Once we got to Hermes, four additional unmanned missions brought us fuel and supplies while we prepared for our trip. Once everything was a go, we set out for Mars. But not very fast. Gone are the days of heavy chemical fuel burns and trans-Mars injection orbits.
Hermes is powered by ion engines. They throw argon out the back of the ship really fast to get a tiny amount of acceleration. The thing is, it doesn’t take much reactant mass, so a little argon (and a nuclear reactor to power things) let us accelerate constantly the whole way there. You’d be amazed at how fast you can get going with a tiny acceleration over a long time.
I could regale you with tales of how we had great fun on the trip, but I won’t. I don’t feel like reliving it right now. Suffice it to say we got to Mars 124 days later without strangling each other.
From there, we took the MDV (Mars descent vehicle) to the surface. The MDV is basically a big can with some light thrusters and parachutes attached. Its sole purpose is to get six humans from Mars orbit to the surface without killing any of them.
And now we come to the real trick of Mars exploration: having all of our shit there in advance.
A total of fourteen unmanned missions deposited everything we would need for surface operations. They tried their best to land all the supply vessels in the same general area, and did a reasonably good job. Supplies aren’t nearly so fragile as humans and can hit the ground really hard. But they tend to bounce around a lot.
Naturally, they didn’t send us to Mars until they’d confirmed that all the supplies had made it to the surface and their containers weren’t breached. Start to finish, including supply missions, a Mars mission takes about three years. In fact, there were Ares 3 supplies en route to Mars while the Ares 2 crew were on their way home.
The most important piece of the advance supplies, of course, was the MAV. The Mars ascent vehicle. That was how we would get back to Hermes after surface operations were complete. The MAV was soft-landed (as opposed to the balloon bounce-fest the other supplies had). Of course, it was in constant communication with Houston, and if there had been any problems with it, we would have passed by Mars and gone home without ever landing.
The MAV is pretty cool. Turns out, through a neat set of chemical reactions with the Martian atmosphere, for every kilogram of hydrogen you bring to Mars, you can make thirteen kilograms of fuel. It’s a slow process, though. It takes twenty-four months to fill the tank. That’s why they sent it long before we got here.
You can imagine how disappointed I was when I discovered the MAV was gone.
