** In the book, he does have a notable and understandable freakout after one the many disasters to befall him, but since he's writing up his log at a keyboard, it's possible he's leaving a lot of things unsaid. He even muses about going back and tidying up some of his earlier logs, but never gets around to it. In the film, he's rather more emotionally troubled by the whole experience, but keeps going in spite of it.
