    Something like that happened in the book “The Martian” by Andy Weir. I loved that part!

      I call Andy Weir’s stuff Back-of-The-Envelope-Calculation-fic and Chipperfic, because both his The Martian and Project Hail Mary have a ton of back of the envelope calculations and a chipper protagonist. _
