Sometimes I'm smart, and sometimes I google "is the martian based on a true story". For the record it is definitely not.

Now, yes, a lot of real science is used in "The Martian," which showcases actual technology used by NASA and mentions the real story about NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory having come into existence after Caltech students set their dorm on fire.
