'The Martian' Author Andy Weir: What it Will Take to Get Us to Mars
The Long Now Foundation - The Interval at Long Now
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.

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.
