    Summary

    Mindy Park from SatCon was given two weeks paid vacation as soon as Mark Watney made it onto the Hermes. Her constant monitoring of Mars was over, her schedule could return to match Earth's, and her job could cease being so life or death. She was the woman who found Watney alive, and although she didn't do any of the math or engineering or actual retrieval of him, she helped bring him home.
