      In the book it was meant for an alternative means of communication. Sojourner has six wheels that turn independently. The thought had been to write the alphabet on the wheels, and NASA can then spell out messages. However, Mark was never able to get Sojourner to work in the book. In the end he had to use ASCII to get messages and get the rover hack.

      You're all wrong... and you're all right as well.
      The AVERAGE distance between Earth and Mars is 140 million miles (225 million km)... BUT depending on where Earth and Mars are in their orbits relative to each other, they can be anywhere from 34 million miles (55 million km) to 250 million miles (401 million km) apart. This vast difference is one of the reasons why there launch windows to give workable travel times for the minimum fuel usage are limited. There is only one launch window every 26 months.

    I read the book before seeing the movie and I have to say that both were some of the best science fiction I’ve encountered in the past 25 years. Instead of the cyberpunk, dystopian, post apocalyptic trope of the 90s and 2000s where the ending really depressed the reader, we have a “Okay let’s say a prayer, be strong,science the shit out of this, not give up, get to work solving the problems”. We need more SF that speaks of a hopeful future rather than SF that that tells the readers that there no hope whatsoever. The hopeless SF does more harm than good.

    I think particularly this part of the martian's story from finding pathfinder+sojourner to establishing text2text via the rover is so insanely well condensed in the movie compared to the book's minute attention to detail. In the book Mark has to consider how to build a rock ramp to even load pathfinder onto his trailer's roof, consider the insanely low voltage these ran on and throttle his hab electricity power through a self made breaker kit (I believe it was like 1.2v from a non-rechargeable lithium ion battery) which trips when he loses connection by short circuiting pathfinder with the drill used to turn his rover into a convertible with a balloon on top. I don't know if it's a testament to the film's efficiency in conveying this story bead in the condensed way it does or if it should be seen as unnecessary plot filler in the book, I still very much liked the book's version of Mark a tiny bit more.

      @@airdriver Yessir! You might be interested to know that NASA is currently flying missions to make a permanent moon base! It's called the Artemis Program, and their second mission is set to launch next year.
      As for hexadeximals (hex), they're a system of numbers that repeat every 16 characters, unlike our usual method of counting (which is called decimal, or denary!), that does so every 10.
      We call this "base-16" (our own numbers are "base-10")
      Decimal, What you'd be used to, goes: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 ,5 ,6, 7, 8, 9. Then the pattern repeats (10, 11, 12, 13, etc.)
      Every time the pattern gets "full", we add a new column (think of this as going from 9 -> 10 or 99 -> 100)
      Each new column, represents a power of 10 (1, 10, 100, 1000).
      So, in decimal, 345 is shown as: (100 times 3) + (10 times 4) + (1 times 5), Which is equal to the number 345 (no surprises here)
      (I apologise if this may seem like I'm being a bit patronising, but this should hopefully let you compare decimal to hex easier)
      Hex uses: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 ,5 ,6, 7, 8, 9, *but also*: A, B, C, D, E, F.
      These are in place of 10, 11, 12, 13, 14 and 15 respectively (A = 10, F = 15)
      This is often the part that people find confusing:
      Like decimal, the pattern then repeats, with 10, 11, 12, etc. However, unlike each new column representing a power of 10, this time it becomes a power of 15! (1, 15, 225, 3375, etc.)
      Which means "10" in hex is actually equal to the number 16, with "1F" being equal to 31!
      So, in hex, "345" is shown as: (225 times 3) + (15 times 4) + (1 times 5), which is equal to the number 837!
      This seems very complicated for us (and it is!), but computers are good at this sort of math, and it lets them express any number from 0 to 15 with only 1 character, which saves a lot of space in the long run. Computers are limited by the length of characters they can put together at a time. (I'm sure you've heard the phrase "8-bit" or "16-bit" or some variation). With systems like Hexadecimal, you can store much bigger numbers in the same amount of physical space! (9999 in decimal is a *lot* smaller than FFFF in hex)
      Sorry if this is too long-winded! Hope this helps you with Hexadecimals :D

      Tubes, you'd need a lot of storage for these missions.
      Space for gym and stuff, it's the 2030s and you're sending people on journeys that will last for 1-1.5 years (only going, not even counting the return home). Sending them in crammed up spaces isn't good for psychology and also the mission itself. Hermes was providing artificial gravity for it's habitants by making the vehicle turn around itself, so you need a wider vehicle already. Plus, if you have the opportunity and tech, why not take it? Humanity won't travel in space in narrow tubes for forever.
      Plastic sheeting can help with protecting things from martian dust, and also plastic is cheap, easy to use, and usable in space.
