'The Martian' Author Andy Weir: What it Will Take to Get Us to Mars<br />The Long Now Foundation - The Interval at Long Now<br />Andy Weir's self-published novel The Martian has become a New York Times bestseller and the #1 movie in America. But it began with a series of blog posts that reflected Andy's lifelong love of space science and detailed research about traveling to and surviving on the fourth planet in our Solar System.<br /><br />You can see the film in theaters everywhere, but only at The Interval will you hear Andy skip the fiction and talk about the details of how a real world mission to reach and colonize Mars would work. He'll discuss his book, too, and answer your questions at this very special event in our Interval salon series.
