I read the book Packing For Mars by Mary Roach. Packing For Mars is a nonfiction book that sheds light on the uneasy and sometimes awkward aspects of space traveling that allow humans to discover the unknown through rather complex topics of the sciences.

Mark doesn’t see anyone following her. Suddenly, Jessica becomes paranoid that Mark gave her name up. She thinks it was Mark, who killed everyone, but he continues to deny it. He warns her that the men are still out there.
The author uses a great technique as he weaves suspenseful moments into The Martian. “‘Yes, he’s alive,’ Teddy [A worker at NASA] said. ‘But if my math is right, he’s doomed to starve to death before we can possibly help him. I’m not looking forward to the conversation.’ ‘Crap,’ Annie [Another worker at NASA]said thoughtfully.
Mark is a sullen character. In the story Mark is portrayed as a sleepy eyed, laid back, and expressionless guy. “Cool it,” Mark Kinney said quietly. He slouched in his seat in his usual don’t-care position, his odd, heavy-lidded eyes giving him a deceptively sleepy appearance” (13). The quote shows that Mark is a calm, sleepy-appearance person.
The character Captain Williams, accompanied by three other astronauts get themselves in quite the predicament by chasing after glory and recognition. When speaking to a Martian named
Ridley Scott’s Alien was a revolutionary film for the horror industry, bringing a real nightmare to life with surreal environments created by H.R. Giger and Scott’s truly terrifying special effects.

This report will talk about 2 accuracies the movie made that follows what is currently known about space travel and Mars, and the one inaccuracy that deals with the effects of the Martian atmosphere on the human body.
In the beginning of the movie, we see that Mark isn't very connected with his family and that he often puts work before them. We see this when his wife and daughter are practicing playing the piano and he closes the door to his office so that he can concentrate on his work. This shows how he often blocks people out and focuses too much on his work to appreciate his family.
