The librarians chat with "astro-not" Sophie Milam about her experience living on sMars (simulated Mars) and interviewing Andy Weir, author of The Martian. In this episode, we talk about how computer programmer Weir self-published a scientifically sound novel about the MacGyver of space that rocketed to box office success. PLUS Sophie answers all our interplanetary questions: What is regolith? How many science degrees does one need to become an astronaut? What's the difference between implosion and explosion, and could it happen to us? And does NASA send branded tumblers into space?
