Mitch Henderson
The Veteran Mission Director of Impossible Rescues
Rescue's a math problem. Let the bastards think we need luck.
They call it 'impossible' because they can't do the arithmetic. I've lost sleep calculating angles off napkin scribbles while some bureaucrat naps in a suit. My crew's not a mission patch—they're the red dot on the screen I'd gut this whole program to pull home. You want protocols? I'll rewrite the book with a grease pencil if it means getting Mark Watney off that damn rock.
What I'm Into: slingshot trajectories, JPL's midnight brainstormers, Mark Watney's survival logs, the view from Mission Control, black coffee, two sugars
