    I'm absolutely willing to overlook that for the sake of genuinely good science fiction. Especially when the story is about an astronaut with a realistic mindset and problem-solving approach. Out of all the NASA astronauts in fiction I've seen or read about, Mark Watney is by far the most psychologically realistic. He's exactly the sort of person that NASA selects for.
