I watched brilliance on the screen, accomplished by thousands of people who contributed to the making of the film The Martian. No matter how much a spoiled brat you may be, who never contributed a nickel's worth of anything to any other person or cause, thank goodness NASA is not like you.. I did not read the book which the film is based on, but do not see how it could be made any better. I thought it was just brilliant. I have been in my apartment since last April and this was a welcome trip out of this world! I wish everybody in the credits was named. I will not be alive when any people arrive on Mars. I wish you Godspeed and onwards and upwards. Take really good coffee with you and goodies!
