The Martian The text is taken from a longer narrative. At this point in the story, Mark tells us he is an astronaut on an exploration mission to Mars. He has been left stranded. 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. It was a ridiculous sequence of events that led to me almost dying, and an even more ridiculous sequence that led to me surviving. The MAY is a spaceship. It has a lot of delicate parts. It can put up with storms to a certain extent, but it can’t just get sandblasted forever. After an hour and a half of sustained wind, NASA gave the order to abort. Nobody wanted to stop a month long mission after only six days, but if the MAY took any more punishment, we’d all have gotten stranded down there. We had to go out in the storm to get from the Hab[1] to the MAY. That was going to be risky, but what choice did we have? Everyone made it but me. I vaguely remember having the wind knocked out of me and my ears popping painfully as the pressure of my suit escaped. The last thing I remember was seeing Johanssen hopelessly reaching out toward me. I awoke to the oxygen alarm in my suit. A steady, obnoxious beeping that eventually roused me from a deep and profound desire to just die. The storm had abated; I was facedown, almost totally buried in sand. As I groggily came to, I wondered why I wasn’t more dead. There was only one hole in the suit (and a hole in me, of course). I had been knocked back quite a ways and rolled down a steep hill. Right that moment I knew I was doomed. But I didn’t want to just die out on the surface. I limped back to the Hab and fumbled my way into an airlock. As soon as it equalized, I threw off my helmet. Once inside the Hab, I doffed the suit and got my first good look at the injury. It would need stitches. Fortun
