Right now, the main character, Mark Watney, is finally in contact with earth after being stranded on mars. The plan is to send another spaceship as soon as they can to rescue him, but the rescue mission is still a while away. Right now, in the story, not much action is happening, so it is difficult to continue to read. There still are some interesting details to think or wonder about though. For example, I wonder if the author is going to allow Watney to survive and be saved in full health or will he almost die or even die before or during the rescue mission?
Another thing I like to think about is how some of the other, minor characters, are feeling about Watney being trapped on mars. Such as his family. They sent him a letter saying like we love and miss you, hope you come home safety, heard you were doing well with your crops, etc., but I wonder what else would be going through their minds that they left out of the letter. If a situation like this ever happened to someone I knew, I would be freaking out and thinking of "what if" questions and the worst possibilities. Maybe his family did not want to alarm him or freak him out by putting there true thoughts about the situation into this letter.
