He recorded the testimony of men, women, and sometimes children who came face-to-face with the living - or at least the undead - hell of that dreadful time.

I'm pretty much f**ked. That's my considered opinion. F**ked. Six days in to what should be the greatest two months of my life, and it's turned in to a nightmare. I don't even know who'll read this. I guess someone will find it eventually. Maybe a hundred years from now. For the record...I didn't die on Sol 6. Certainly the rest of the crew thought I did, and I can't blame them. Maybe there'll be a day of national mourning for me, and my Wikipedia page will say, "Mark Watney is the only human being to have died on Mars."
