He establishes a connection with N.A.S.A and is relayed messages from the director, as well as his friends and family. Although this book is fiction, it has many scientific and true aspects of the real world (including his form of communication)]]> 2018-12-06 21:51:44 UTC https://padlet.com/20tephrem/i8gfip821k0f/wish/312056119 20cgougeon https://padlet.com/20tephrem/i8gfip821k0f/wish/312352122 NASA is the one that is giving Watney information but also getting information from Watney to give to the people. The people rely on NASA to get updates on Watney. ]]> 2018-12-07 18:14:21 UTC https://padlet.com/20tephrem/i8gfip821k0f/wish/312352122 20cgougeon https://padlet.com/20tephrem/i8gfip821k0f/wish/312353061 If you didn't know, NASA is funded by the congress, and so the people need to be happy for the administration to have money.  All information from Watney goes to NASA then the public.
