Wait a minute: Is Rocky not just Mark Watney as an alien?

So we've got a fully trained astronaut specialized as a miracle engineer with a goofy humor stranded far away from his home planet, surviving all on his own... and who takes up making video logs for Earth extremely very quickly.

Pretty much the only thing missing is that he isn't a botanist and wasn't really forced to think about growing food because they packed his ship with a ridiculous amount of it, I assume, enough for two dozen crew on a MUCH longer mission. I hope Rocky wasn't tormented by his planet's equivalent of disco in the decades he was stuck on the Blip-A.

(insert joke about Andy Weir only having templates for five characters or so)
