In Andy Weir’s next novel, he’s shifting his sights from the Red Planet to take us to the moon. Specifically the city of Artemis from which his new novel, Artemis, derives its title. Nerdist exclusively revealed the first details about Weir’s hotly anticipated follow-up to The Martian last week, but we wanted to take things a step further by giving you the necessary training to survive a lunar mission of your own. In celebration of the countdown to Artemis coming out this fall, The Crown Publishing Group, Space Camp, and Nerdist are teaming up to send two lucky winners to Adult Space Camp at the U.S. Space & Rocket Center in Hunstville, AL! Not only that, but you’ll receive two signed copies of The Martian and personalized flight suits, to boot.
In order to win, simply click this link and fill out the form! Just make sure you enter by June 30, 2017 or else you’ll be more out of luck than a potato-less Mark Watney. (Please note: this contest is open to U.S. residents only.) Speaking as someone who has attended this very same Adult Space Camp at the U.S. Space & Rocket Center, I can tell you that you’re in for a kick-ass time. All your dreams of feeling like a real-life astronaut without having to go through those pesky years of rigorous training will come true. Plus you’ll get a personalized flight suit that will make your friends turn green with envy. And honestly, isn’t everything we do in service of getting one up on our friends?
Andy Weirâs Artemis is available wherever fine books are sold on November 14, 2017. You can pre-order a copy on Amazon or Barnes & Noble.
