   Yes, I sort of understand what you mean. I guess the only way out to relieve from the bad feeling is to be grateful for what life has brought to us. But I know, feeling is feeling, feeling is not logic. Try it, you may feel different, because our daily life is impacted by our emotional energy on a large scale. Another angle to see the loneliness is from a long historic point of view. We are all lonely on the way to…

   > A transfer from Mars to Earth is never going to line up with an instant return transfer window back to Mars. The whole point of the Hermes spacecraft as used in The Martian, though, is that it has a high specific impulse, low thrust ion drive, that runs continually during the entire orbit (using power from a reactor to do so). Andy Weir, the author, is a programmer, and he actually wrote a physics simulator to cal…

   I second your notion. I read The Martian on the website while it was being published there. (Oh hey, the website is still alive even though the story is gone - http://www.galactanet.com/writing.html ) Any recommendations?

    I hadn't read this, but I recognized the author's name as the author of one of my favorite (no longer running) webcomics[0]. I guess that means I would probably enjoy his other writings[1]. [0]: http://www.galactanet.com/comic/view.php?strip=1 [1]: http://www.galactanet.com/writing.html ... hmm, now I'm a little disapointed in myself that I didn't recognize the domain name too.

    I remember loving the short stories on this stie! I used to binge read them way back when. Another site with good sci-fi is http://www.galactanet.com/writing.html - stories by Andy Weir's (writer of The Martian).

    I remember that story, but I sadly can't point you to a link. If you liked that story, you might also like The Egg [ ], though, which I also found via HN. [ ] http://www.galactanet.com/oneoff/theegg_mod.html
