"Tonight is about eating a full ration for dinner. Awww yeah. That's right. I'm eaither getting rescued on Sol 549 or I'm dying. That means I have thirty-five sols of extra food. I can indulge once in a while." #TheMartianLog

"Life is amazingly tenacious. They don't want to die any more than I do." #TheMartianLog

"Things aren't as bad as they seem. I'm still fucked, mind you. Just not as deeply." #TheMartianLog

"I'm getting sick of this rover. The inside's the size of a van. That may seem like plenty of room, but try being trapped in a van for eight days. I look forward to tending my potato farm in the wide open space of the Hab. I'm nostalgic for the Hab. How fucked up is that?" #TheMartianLog

"After four nights of awful sleep in the rover, my bunk felt like the softest, most profoundly beautiful feather bed ever made." #TheMartianLog

"Yeah. This all sounds like a great idea with no chance if catastrophic failure." #TheMartianLog

"Martinez is a devout Catholic. I knew that what I didn't know was he brought along a small wooden cross. I'm sure #NASA gave him shit about it,but I also know Martinez is one stubborn son of a bitch." #TheMartianLog
