A recommendation: if you like The Martian, you'll probably like the movie The Europa Report.

  Both were awesome hard sci fi. Not to mention that a trip to Mars and Europa are feasiboe with current technology. Interstellar, not so much.

  Hmm... I liked The Martian a lot, but hated The Europa Report. They don't really seem comparable: The Europa Report has silly martians and little hard science... it's more like "Blair Witch Project in Space" IMHO.

    I was expecting hard science but got a monster movie instead.

  Alternatively - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Mysterious_Island http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Mysterious_Island by Jules Verne Stranded fellas go from absolute zero to civilized dwelling using nothing but natural island resources and some good old chemical and mechanical engineering. Includes complete walk-throughs for making the gunpowder and nitroglycerin from scratch :)

    Absolutely! The Mysterious Island is gold. I loved it when I was a kid. Excellent read.
