Interesting. I just read through the end of the book from when Watney gets to the MAV. Although it mentions Watney storing his collected samples in a container near the launch area, nothing at all is mentioned regarding the logs (apart from him creating more).– user71418Commented Dec 15, 2016 at 11:11

@Pᴇᴛᴇ, I thought the same, reading it this morning and last night (to make sure my question wasn't redundant), could it be possible that he'd written it and it got removed in editing and he forgot?– EdlothiadCommented Dec 15, 2016 at 11:13

Or it could be on his online serialized version of the book, which I've not read.– user71418Commented Dec 15, 2016 at 11:14

1@Edlothiad Props for reaching out to Weir. I accept it is likely the text logs were uploaded via the MAV in the book. The fate of video logs can be assumed to be the same (since Mark had weeks to upload them once he arrives at the MAV, so bandwidth is not an issue). But I feel a definite answer would need to come directly from either the book or the movie.– SantaCommented Dec 15, 2016 at 18:48

1@Gallifreian, props to him for answering a couple hours later (too bad I'd fallen asleep already.– EdlothiadCommented Dec 15, 2016 at 20:39

A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
Type the name of the science fictional or fantastical work your question is about (Example:
star-wars).For questions not specific to any one work, use concept tags to describe your question (Example:
story-identification).Tagging rules:
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. story-identification), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
