hot cocoa on the couch posted:

the book definitely read like it was written by a programmer with two engineers as parents, and I honestly have no idea how it got so popular so fast. I mean I loved it, but I’m a space nerd/engineer who builds rockets so I’m kind of the target audience. but i don’t understand how normies even got through all the science speak and poo poo to enjoy the story

movie was decent because I don’t expect movies to adhere exactly to the book or anything and it was just a fun time

and yeah lol at the fuckin wind storm blowing the rocket over

You're not really the target audience. The target audience is dweebs who think 10000 hours of watching the Cosmos reboot and reading XKCD will make you an astrophysicist.
