I really appreciate how they didn’t try to use too much bullshit science. One of my biggest complaints with movies or shows is their use of science that is just completely wrong. Xenonite is quite flakey but I think that’s the worst thing
It helps that Andy weir basically comes up with all the science before writing a story around it
I felt like the author was winking at us when he namee it xenonite and made it a miracle material. "Heres the McGuffin!"
