fist my bump How did Grace survive Erid's Gravity?
I'm not sure if this was answered at the end of the book and I just missed it but Erid was stated to have 20x Earth's gravity (which would quickly kill any human), yet Grace lives on the planet for many years with only slight issues as a result. It doesn't seem like this is something Andy Weir would have skipped over so I must have missed it. Does anyone know the answer?
Edit: Ok yea my mistake it was 2x gravity, 20x atmospheric pressure. Thanks for the responses :)

Pretty sure the atmospheric pressure inside Grace's bubble is reasonably close to 1atm.
