Watched "The Martian" the other day.  Now that's how you explore Mars.

I LOVED The Martian! It was soo good! I hadn't read the book or anything (it was meant to be good), but the movie was awesome.
My, how time flies....

The book is fantastic if you are geeking about space travel.  The calculations for how long the food would last went on for pages.  The end was far more credible than the movie.  One funny part of the book that was left out of the movie was a discussion of which astronaut would get eaten if the supply ship did not reach them.

I just watched The Martian a few nights ago and loved it, too! What a great writer, the details were amazing. Loved the graphics, too. Very cool.

I might be wrong, but I heard that when writing the book there was a lot of actual research done to ensure it was as realistic as possible.

We have Netflix while on holiday.  Watched some ultimate beast master.  And enjoying Shark Tank.  Any good Netflix comedies?  We are more comedy than drama.

The Good Place
Brooklyn 99

Both I love


The usual. American girl meets British guy. They fall into like, then into love. Then there was the big decision. The American traveled across the pond to join the Brit. And life was never the same again.
