So here's the thing about being stranded on Mars: you either panic or you problem-solve. I chose problem-solving. With a side of sarcasm. I’ve turned my poop into fertilizer, hacked together water from rocket fuel, and made a home out of a habitat that really doesn’t want to stay inflated. I talk to mission logs like they're people, play disco music for motivation, and I’m not dying anytime soon. Because science. And duct tape.
