Sol faces a crisis when his crops fail from "summary" of The Martian by Andy Weir
When Sol discovered that his potato crops were failing, he was faced with a serious dilemma. His survival on Mars depended on those crops, and without them, he would run out of food long before the next mission arrived. As he examined the plants, he realized that the lack of water was the main issue. The water reclaimer had broken down, leaving him with a limited supply that was barely enough to keep himself hydrated, let alone sustain an entire crop of potatoes. Sol knew that he needed to come up with a solution quickly if he wanted to survive. He considered rationing his food supply, but he knew that would only delay the inevitable. Instead, he decided to focus on fixing the water reclaimer. It was a risky move, as he had to dismantle the entire system and hope that he could repair it without causing further damage. As he worked, he couldn't shake the feeling of dread that lingered in the back of his mind. If he failed, he would be left with no other options. After hours of hard work and determination, Sol managed to fix the water reclaimer. He let out a sigh of relief as the system whirred back to life, pumping much-needed water to his dying crops. As he watched the plants slowly start to recover, he felt a sense of hope wash over him. He had faced a crisis head-on and had come out on top. Sol knew that there would be more challenges ahead, but for now, he could rest easy knowing that he had saved his crops and, in turn, saved himself.
