To give you an idea of just how extraordinary US astronauts are Jonny Kim is an American US Navy lieutenant (and former SEAL) who won both a Bronze and Silver Star, physician, Harvard graduate and NASA astronaut.
Any one of those things would make him remarkable.
Right now he is training for the 2024 moon landing.
You can grow most veggies from themselves...
In your spare time I would suggest the extended version. Just adds some nice little moments.
Some suggestions: Nightmare Before Christmas, Fly Away Home, Hotel for Dogs, Dolphin Tale 1 and 2, Avatar (Not cartoon), Planet of the Apes Trilogy (Not the 1960 ones), A Dogs life and A Dogs Journey, Because of Winn Dixie, Mighty Joe Young, Sharkboy and Lavagirl, Game Plan, Over The Hedge, Wreck It Ralph, Home (2015), Air Bud (1997), Night At The Museum Trilogy
Cheers cherry love this film
A movie without a villain, without bigotry and hate. Just mankind working together to save one man. IMHO one of the best movies of the last ten years.
It's one of the basic storytelling archetypes, man vs environment, it's nothing new, there are plenty of great ancient stories that have similar themes, a lot of the greek myths follow the pattern of personifying nature, so when looked at through that lens, a lot of those stories are about one person or a group of people versus nature.
@Billy Boils
Darker doesnt necessarily mean its better though.
And Sean Bean only loses his job this time.
Yes, yes, yes. Yes. Thank you for your words. 🤘🏻
And no guns!
That is Ned Stark, one of the few times Sean Bean’s character doesn’t die
And the whole Project Elrond thing was funnier since Sean Bean was also there 😂
His career in the movie died since he resigned.
Well, his career died... not quite the same thing I know. But its something.
I think it would have been hilarious if they showed him getting hit by a golfball at the end, he falls and they quickly cut to black. Just a quick in-joke at the end ;)
I kept wanting him to say "One doesn't simply walk into Schiaparelli Crater."
Sean Bean didn't die in The Big Empty (2003).
Teddy is not cold or a coward. He's doing his job. When you're a leader, you have to make unpopular decisions
This is exactly why populist leaders end up being more "successful"
Agreed. He also doesn't surround himself with "yes men" and still considers the opinions of people who disagree with him.

The crew can't just simply turn the ship around and pick up Watney because it would require burning too much fuel to turn around, change trajectory, go back to Mars, retrieve Watney, and turn the ship back around to head home. If they run out of fuel, no one makes it back to Earth at all. Also, both planets would need to be in close enough orbit with each other to make the trip as short as possible. Both planets orbit the sun at different speeds, and Mars' orbit of the sun is wider than Earth's. That means the distance between Earth and Mars can be longer or shorter depending on each planet's orbit. It's absolutely necessary to travel between both at the right time - when they are closest to each other.
Science fiction movies make space travel seem so easy. I think that's why many people don't know how complex it really is. At least with our current level of technology.
99% of space travel is essentially falling. Rockets create the momentum and we let gravity do the rest.
@@TheJabbate1 When I figured out how space travel works that's the thing that's mind blowing imo.
You need a shitton of delta V to get a ship in orbit.
You only need a little more to get that ship to the moon.
@@Londronable And a little bit more than that to escape Earth's gravity and go interplanetary, albeit slowly
They mention the Holman Transfer window in the film, a comment which I am sure escapes over 90% of the audience but tells the physicists watching the film that they know why you can't make a U-turn whenever you want unless you have a tremendous amount of energy and mass to espend
The Martian is one of those movies that i watch when i feel down and need a Feelgood movie to cheer me up.
Yes, yes. Me too. I've watched it far too many times that I'm deliberately starving myself of this movie and plan to watch it again only after buying a 4k projector.
Damon's positive attitude and all that disco music! 🤣
Same 😏
The author depicts solutiins because he started to research problems and he as a programmer felt challenged to solve them. Then he saw he had a book in his hands. So he added a character and some humor and the story was served.
ditto
The bit with Mark blowing himself up and THEN wearing his space helmet in the second attempt is a classic example of -
"Safety SECOND - for when Safety First wasn't considered in the original plan." :D
There's a hilarious line from the book they had to delete. When they're resupplying the space ship Johannsen secretly tells her dad that if something *does* go wrong the crew decided to take cyanide pills so that she could - and this is gross - eat them as sustenance in order to survive. After everything goes according to plan Martinez helps her grab the supplies and on the way casually asks her who she would've eaten first. She races on in disgust and Martinez calls after her, "BUT I THOUGHT YOU LIKED MEXICAN FOOD."
why do they need to take cyanide pills for her to eat the crew?
I think you are being a little harsh on Teddy , unlike the other members of NASA he's looking at the bigger picture and not just about Mark
Not only was Mark a Botanist he was also the missions Engineer.
The reason the airlock blew is due to the canvas of the Hab stretching it started with the storm on Sol 18 and every time Mark used the airlock it caused more stress eventually causing it to fail.
Yeah, I don't think he was cold, he was realistic and efficient. The rescue plan was cool, but there was a high change of killing the whole rest of the crew.
They really did him dirty in this film. He ended up being more negative and cold, taking on aspects of both himself and venkat kapoor from the book. He was ment to be realistic and rational.
This is a rare film that focuses on positivity and solutions rather than the crises occurring.
Crises occurring?
@@owenmenning3878 Sorry. "Occurring." English is not my native language.
@@monsterlair i wasnt asking about your spelling lol, i was asking what you meant by "crises occuring"
Another movie that depicts private space era is passengers. In the past only governments were customers of aerospace industry. Passengers came too far ahead of its time. Private space era at its best.
Yeah! And nary a single death, in an adventure film! Refreshing!
A lot of astronaut training is knowing other team members jobs and a fair amount of medical procedures in case it's the doctor who's hurt or dead.
Or god forbid - the botanist
everyone needs to know basic first aide. can't put neosporin on everything ha
In the book Watney is a botanist and an electrical engineer
most astronauts are engineers and test pilots - ERTW - no botanist knows hexadecimal
My wife and I are chemists & fell in love with the movie when he said he needed to “science the sh*t out” of it.
Can you two make a bomb?
That's one of my favorite quotes too.
Sigourney Weaver, Russell Crowe, Matt Damon - Ridley Scott knows how to choose actors that can carry movies based on their sheer charisma
How could you leave Harrison Ford out? Blade Runner...
@@maxis5650 epic fail on my part - although in my defence i was providing examples not an exhaustive list!
@@simianinc I´m sure it was a slip of the mind, but... come on, charisma is Harrison´s middle name ;)
@@maxis5650 However Harrison Ford looked quite unhappy and forced in Blade Runner. Plus that film did not do well in theaters.
So you're saying Russel Crowe carried American Gangster, not Denzel Washington?
You also forgot Tom Cruise.
oh wait
“He’s played an astronaut so many times” - 2x in 84 movies lol
Well, technically twice is more often than the average actor.....
Maybe eventually he'll work up to a Jason Borne in space. And technically he was "in space" when he played Loki (the second time, not the first). Most of this movie was set on Mars, so if that counts then so would that one, right?
@@MysterClark what are you doing right now
@@travisgreene3509 That's... private (Ryan). Although 50 minutes ago when you made this reply I was watching other reaction videos. Why?
Just imagine that he is secretly an astronaut in all the rest of the 84 movies.
Matt Damon @ 6:57 "looks at pouch containing his own waste."
Mary Cherry @ 6:58 "because he knows his sh!t."
Impressive.
You beat me to it!!!
🤣🤣 what he said ☝☝
12:05 he's not heartless, of course he cares. It's just that he as the director has to watch over space exploration as a whole, and all his decisions are directed at doing his best to not jeopardize the 'industry' as a whole.
"Turn around."
So this isn't a dig against you, it's more me shaking my fists in impotent rage against the heavens, but I really wish that the basics of how space 'works' were more broadly known. They can't just turn around and go get him due to orbital mechanics. Can't. Can. Not. And what they do later in the movie is basically a case of everything lining up just right for a lucky Hail Mary attempt.
Even an airplane on Earth can't just "turn around" after a certain point because of limited fuel reserves. Too many sci-fi movies unrealistically depicting spacecraft capable of doing whatever they want without any concern for physics or fuel.
@@brandonb.5304 "The Cold Equations" a short story written in 1954 by Tom Godwin touches on this, read it forty-five years ago as a kid and it still sticks in my mind.
@@charlesborden8111 Good reference!
@@charlesborden8111 Oof, I hadn't heard of that story and just read it now. Definitely one that'll stick with me.
Kerbal Space Program should be mandatory for every kid, or you end up trying to turn around your spacecraft and end up killing everyone.
Andy Weir is a fantastic writer. This movie was great and so is the book. I'm hoping Artemis gets turned into a movie.
The book is amazing. At least with Artemis, they wouldn't have to leave out so much.
Same
I just finished the book yesterday
they are already working on it, though i'm not sure on how i feel about the crew so far. imdb /title/tt6857180/
His new book Hail Mary is amazing, I highly recommend it.
I adore this movie and how it approaches the story from an engineers/scientists mindset. It's not about some vague notion of believing in yourself or trying really hard. It's about using expertise to solve one problem at a time.
The reason the airlock “blew up” and destroyed his crops:
The habitat is essentially a pressurized “tent”. Which sounds flimsy, but it does have an internal frame.
And the hab had *three* airlocks. But because the rover and the Pathfinder probe were on one side, he kept using the same airlock over and over instead of using the others. And the fabric around the airlock got stressed and finally gave way. (This is info from the book that clarify what you see - READ THE BOOK!! It’s even more awesome than the movie! )
The book also mentions that the solar panels were the most efficient ever made, too
He also had more than enough morphine to kill himself a couple times over.... but there's something about the human spirit that looks for a way out.
The audiobook is really good as well.
If you'll notice, I believe she looked down for the second that the malfunction panel flashed on the screen, which is why she didn't know what was happening. I think, anyway.
The audiobook is read by Wil Wheaton, and very good.
Yeah, Watney fell into a habit without realising it regards the airlock.
"Why can't they just turn the ship around..."
Someone really needs to play some KSP =-)
I mean school should have taught her that but... Lol.
@@xtravagentk1275 to be fair, not everyone knows how orbital mechanics works so cut her some slack lol.

Fun Fact: Of that 6 Person Crew 5 People have been in Marvel Movies
With all the unrealistic sci-fi people watch, they don't understand you can't just turn around. It takes huge amount of fuel to turn around. Fuel they wouldn't have. Just to make it there everything must be carefully balanced.
Also, once they leave Mars it is no longer in the same place it once was.
It's not a fixed point from A to B. Flying from LA to NY is "easy" to turn around due to them being fixed positions.
@@robhax Yeah, even an airplane on Earth can't just "turn around" three quarters into their flight plan. They also have fuel limitations. People watch too much unrealistic sci-fi and think aircraft have limitless fuel reserves.
If u enjoyed this, u should check out a film called Moon (2009). It is one of the most criminally underrated films of all time and has an Oscar snubbed performance from Sam Rockwell. And it is directed by David Bowie’s son
MOON is an excellent movie!
To anybody that hasn't seen Moon...WATCH MOON. You're welcome.
Moon is so good, love Sam Rockwell
Never even heard of it - will check it out, thanks.
Appreciate the recommendation.. Growing up Apollo 13 was my favorite movie, and now this is one of them. Definitely will check out Moon, not sure how I've never heard of it!
I'm glad you liked this. Please consider watching Matt Damon and Ben Affleck as angels in Dogma.
And Matt plays Loki… lol
She should watch them in order: Clerks, Mallrats, Chasing Amy, Dogma, Jay & Silent Bob, Clerks II
@@IronmanV5 That would make sense. I enjoyed them all, but not everyone does. As a matter of fact, Jersey Girl is more mainstream than most of Kevin Smith's movies and still very good. Dogma, Jersey Girl, and Jay And Didn't Bob Strike Back are the last three movies I saw George Carlin in.
One of George Carlin's best rolls. Great f'n movie.
Stan Lee was rehearsing his Mallrats lines in Captain Marvel. Therefore the View Askew movies exist in the MCU. So Loki probably saw MD play Loki in Dogma and wanted him for the role in the stage play on Asgard
The reason they can't just turn the ship around is because they have a finite and carefully measured amount of fuel. The ship has enough to get to Mars, decelerate, and then accelerate back to Earth and decelerate. If they turned around, they would use up all their fuel getting to Mars and then get stuck.
One does not simply "turn around" in orbital mechanics
@@stanmann356 Oh, one can, but it never ends well. LOL
@@charlesborden8111 In fact, pretty much impossible with current technology. At best a spacecraft can do a mid course correction to intercept the planet it came from on the next orbit, but pretty much any spacecraft we have don't have enough fuel to literally turn back
@@TheArrowedKnee What did you not get about It Never Ending Well?
I think this is one of Ridley Scott's best movies.
Alien is far superior....
Bladerunner and Alien are better imo but this is good too
The Martian is my favourite
Well, when you pull from a really good novel, it's not that hard. Just follow the book.
One of those films that you can watch more than once and that makes for a good movie
Another one would be Twister. It is ridiculously rewatchable.
@@blechtic There was a time when I watched Twister at least once a month. It is my favourite movie, not because it's amazing but because it's so fun and rewatchable.
This was a film where casting the lead was everything. You need just the right person, when you're spending so much time with one isolated character. The whole thing hinges on it. The studio wanted Channing Tatum, but Ridley got it just right. And beyond that, the whole supporting cast is phenomenal, as well.
Orbital mechanics means you cannot simply "turn around". Getting from one place to another in space is mostly a matter of burn really hard to go the right way and then spend (in this case) months "falling" towards your objective. Attempting to "simply turn around" means counteracting all that time spent "falling" (read: accelerating) and there is no way to carry that much fuel with you. "Stopping" at your destination is a matter of a gravity capture or aerobraking since most of your fuel was already used up just to start the journey.
Notice in this film, they do the opposite of a gravity capture and perform a "gravity assist" (slingshot) where the extra speed needed to return to Watney comes from "falling" so fast past the Earth that they shoot right back out there.
I love how much hard science is in this. The only 'creative license' he took (based on science of the time. I know that there are a few things that have changed since then) was on the strength of the winds. With 1% of the atmosphere of Earth, that means that 100km/h winds would have the force of 1km/h winds. But, hey. He needed the planet to strike the first blow.
At the end of the book, Weir explains that he wanted to make the story as scientifically accurate as possible, but he needed the dust storm at the beginning to get the plot moving.
@@scorp77snake Yep. He talked about that in some of the interviews as well. Since he wrote it, they have also found that the Martial soil is actually quite 'damp' (though frozen) only a few cm down, at least in the places they have checked. So Weir has also said that they landed in a 'desert' region where that isn't the case. (one of the science changes they had discovered since the book and movie were released).
@@scorp77snake Honestly i think most people are more than willing such an inaccuracy, when they get so much else of the science fairly correct
The winds would carry more force than that. While Martian air is thinner it's made of heavier particles. Also the wind storms push pressure fronts with higher density atmosphere.
Mary: "He knows his shit."
Mark: *literally picking up vacuum-sealed shit*
In the original book there's one more peril for him: as he's driving toward the pickup point, there's a major storm that NASA can see approaching but they can't contact him to warn him about it. I kind if wish they'd included that in the movie.
And he short circuits pathfinder accidentally so he's cut off from communicating with Earth preemptively.
Yes, the movie's great but the book is even MORE. Love the dust storm. Not to mention the hydrogen build up in the Hab.
There are seven Marvel actors in this film...
Matt Damon
Michael Pena
Benedict Wong
Sebastian Stan

A sol is a Martian day. Mars actually rotates just slightly slower than Earth so for simplicity's sake, they're essentially the same length. Therefore each sol is actually equal to a full Earth day.
Yup. 24 hours, 39 minutes, 35 seconds = 1 sol.
If you want to see a space rescue movie that's even better than The Martian, check out Apollo 13. It stars Tom Hands, Bill Paxton, Kevin Bacon, and Ed Harris. It's one of my all time favorites!
Even though Iv’e seen it so many times, its suspenseful every time I watch it!
Agreed, and Andy Weir credits Apollo 13 as the inspiration for writing The Martian.
And that one happened for real!
Doesen't get much better than the real thing really. The Martian is pretty excellent in terms of the science though, with the notable exception of why the story happend in the first place. With Mars' atmosphere being so thin, such a powerful storm would be impossible in reality
Between Saving Private Ryan, Interstellar, and The Martian the US government has spent a whole lot of money rescuing Matt Damon.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Then they spent three Bourne films trying to kill him.
Each of the crew actually had two different 'functions'; Commander Lewis, for example, wasn't just the Mission Commander, but she was also assisting with gathering the appropriate soil samples (the geology mission). Watney was a Mission Specialist; obviously trained in Botany (he had a Master's Degree in it), as well as Mechanical Engineering (also holding a Master's...they had explained some of that in some of the extra stuff).
So, he was an over-trained gardener & handy-man, exactly what he needed.
What I've always loved about this movie that puts it in my top list of movies, is that its such a positive, feel-good movie. Like, there are no villains in the movie, no bad guys out there to purposefully fuck shit up for their sole benefit/profit. Its all real people trying to do a job to save one person, and they figure it out and it ends on a positive note.
Still my favorite movie ever. AND THE BOOK IS EVEN BETTER!
"How did this happen?"
Well first Matt Damon was born..
...and about 44 years later he got stuck on Mars.
Glorious thing about this movie is that it’s actually pretty scientifically accurate and somewhat possible to do things like this.
Why can't they just turn the station arround? Because it's not a car that has a steering wheel. It's basically on a eliptical orbit/trajectory that intersects Earth, the only way to turn it arround is come back to Earth first...
24:53 For some reason I love this part of the movie so much. I just imagine Sojourner going "HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT! HUMANS ARE YOU SEEING THIS SHIT! MARS HAS LIFE AND A WAY STATION AND PAVEMENT!"
One of the few movie where Sean Bean doesn't die...
and its usually a sign of a movies quality if he dies or doesn't in every movie that he dies its a good movie while the ones he doesn't are not so this is the expception.
"he knows his shit" just as he is picking up a freeze dried package of his shit lol
"They're f--king Matt Damon, and heading to the stars.
They're f--king Matt Damon, and leaving him on Mars!"
Quite possibly the only hard Sci-Fi feelgood movie in existence. I love it.. even though there are some flaws in the physics with storms not being dangerous on Mars being the big one.
6:59, perfect timing. “He knows his s***.” As he is literally picking up the freeze dried poop.
Idk if you ever started The Expanse, but this can be seen as a prequel of sorts to that
Life is a prequel to the expanse.
I loved when i came across the Ship named after Mark in the expanse books, it started off as just a nod to the Martian book by the Expanse authors but the authors of both books made it canon that they are set in the same universe.
@@Ugnutz cool
why does everyone think that you can just "turn around" in space?
Because they do it all the time in Star Trek and other shows of that ilk. Where drives work on impossibilium reactors and gravity is generated by magic devices in the floor.
Sci fi films.
6:58 Matt Damon picks up packets of poop. Mary: “He knows his shit.”
I never thought I'd enjoy a book that gets so granular with the science and math but here we are. The film does a good job of balance that. The one thing the film doesnt do well is explain certain things. The habitat blewout because there was fatigue on the seal because of the storms, IIRC, and it failed. Unlike sci-fi, you cant just turn a spaceship around. Theyre traveling super fast and would have to decelerate, adjust, and accelerate to Mars, then (presumably) decelerate when they get to Mars. All of that takes fuel and they (again, presumably) then wouldnt have enough to return to Earth.
Not so much the storm as being **way** out of warranty. The surface mission was only supposed to last a month.
@@wwoods66 yeah, you're right. though i think the storms contributed to the wear and tear but i think the book only mentions your point. but thanks for correcting me. I need to read it again.
If you want a movie dealing with loneliness away from Earth, I'd recommend 'Moon' with Sam Rockwell!
Also I really can't recommend 'Good Will Hunting' enough, also starring Matt Damon, he also wrote the script together with Ben Affleck, fantastic movie, and so far in my opinion Damons best dramatic performance.
Plus it has the great Robin Williams in it!
Both are great recommendations.
The science in this movie is top knotch if you omit the storm in the beginning. And Pathfinder is a real Mars probe currently on Mars.
Yeah, apparently the storm and the toxicity of the Martian soil are the only real exceptions to scientific accuracy.
@@TomVCunningham and the toxicity of the Martian soil (perchlorates) wasn’t known until a couple of years after Weir wrote the book.
@@TomVCunningham There's also the part where Mark punctures his suit at the end. It would be a lot harder to control than was shown in the movie. It wasn't done in the book, so I think they changed it to make the final rescue a bit more suspenseful.
@@liamjohnston2000 right. The book has 2 exceptions, the movie 3.
@@liamjohnston2000 In the book, he jokes that 'if this were a movie, I would' ... And in the movie, that's what happens!
There are other inaccuracies in the book; e.g. by the numbers given, he doesn't have enough solar panels to light up so many potato plants.
Dr Mann: Pray you never learn just how good it can be to see another face
Mark Watney: Hold my potatoes
A thoroughly touching and lovely film
Ned "Boromir" Stark: One does not simply survive on Mars single-handedly and get off the planet.
Ned "Boromir" Sharpe: Yeh Bas-Tahd!
6:57 - *“There's actually a chance here, 'cause he knows his shit.”*
Said at the _exact_ moment that Watney picks up the crew's… waste products.
"When they get him back, this man needs a promotion!" No, when they get him back, this man needs a good retirement plan.
There are so many moments in this that make me tear up every single time. Love this move. And I hear the book is even better.
I love the credits where we see where it is that everyone ended up. The event brought the world together, and the world stayed together: CSA, ESA, and NASA team up on the next Aries mission. "Start a Love Train" indeed. :-D
Among my friends and I, Jessica Chastain has become synonymous with competence. So when someone does something very well, we say she (or he) Chastained it. LOL. (I realize Matt Damon's the super space botanist here, but Chastain was a competent leader, and she's pretty much manifestation of competence in ever other movie she's in.)
It could also be synonymous for ‘Smoldering Sexiness’ as well..😏
@@susanmaggiora4800 "Smoldering Sexiness" = "Super Competence" Yup that's going in my thesaurus! :)
The base was only meant to be occupied for 31 days. The airlock wasn't designed to go through so many cycles.
This is one of those movies where you can watch it ten times and you still forget that he survives and that reunion scene is always as tense as f*ck. lol
I don’t know if you have, but the Bourne Identity series of movies is Matt Daemon’s breakout roll and my favorites
Have you not seen Good Will Hunting? or the Rainmaker, or Dogma, or the Talented Mr Ripley.?
@@arrgghh1555 This is his breakout role from all of those other breakout roles... :P
@@arrgghh1555 3 Oscar darlings and 1 cult film. We're talking mainstream when we say "breakout". Think Star Wars or MCU type stuff.
To give you a little context - the reason the ship couldn't just turn around is that orbital mechanics are really complicated. Just turning around would have actually taken longer (potentially much, much longer) than an entirely separate mission launched from Earth at the right time of the year. The slingshot maneuver around Earth took advantage of the right timing and on top of that picked up much more acceleration from Earth's gravity than the ship's engines would have been able to manage alone.
As for why they can't "just turn back."
That's how space travel works. Things aren't like in Star Trek where ships can do whatever. In reality, they are extremely fuel limited and bound to exact trajectories between planetary bodies.
The only way for the crew to turn around is to use Earth for a slingshot, and even that is with artistic license. They were moving too fast to do that in real life.
This was a great review on your part, truly enjoyable. Thanks.
LOVE this movie so much! And yes Mark Watney is really smart. He's not just a botanist, he's also an engineer! They don't say it in the movie, but my mum who read the book shared that with me.
You should go read the book yourself.. there's a LOT that got left out of the movie.
My favorite movie. This one sparked me to start watching a lot more Matt Damon films.
Watch The Talented mr. Ripley. Matt Damon is awesome in that movie period And I don't even have to recommend the Bourne series cuz that's a given
LOVE your reactions. Thanks Mary. Amazing how many experts on Space travel are out there. Keep going. Your work takes so much time and I appreciate it so much. Thanks again
This movie is one of those movies that is so good IT'S INFURIATING!!
7:25 the point at which you realized how to grow potatoes, cracked me up lol great videos keep it up!
Great reaction as usual M! Cast Away style movie in another planet! That last scene when Watney is close to tears when he's about to be rescued was a good one - looking forward to more of your reactions M!
As a Mexican-American, I feel I must tell you the correct way to say "Martinez", and that would be Mar-tee-nez. Sorry, its a thing with me. lol Anyways, I love this movie and I'm glad you got to enjoy it as well! I hope you are feeling better!

You cant simply turn a rocket around in the middle of space. Despite how its portrayed in sci-fi, spaceships dont work like planes.
Generally, a rocket blasts off a planet till i reaches a certain speed and then shuts down its engines to safe fuel. After that it simply 'glides' towards it target making only minor adjustments along the way.
If you wanna turn around in space youre going to have to turn your rocket around and slow down your speed all the way to zero and then speed up again in the opposite direction. This costs a gigantic amount of energy and fuel. Basically, realistically, its very unlikely a rocket can ever 'turn around' in the middle of interplanetary space. They will generally need a gravity assist (the thing thats explained as if its a eureka moment later on in the movie despite every nerd being well aware of that it is).
Love your nails Mary Cherry!! Great reaction to this iconic movie!!! Thanks!!!
You can’t simply turn around a spacecraft. The energy required to do so is way to high. Orbital mechanics are way more complicated.
Thank for creators like you
21:09 book has him go on a sailer mouth spree about moving to western Australia because its as far as possible from Idaho
Great reaction video! The movie is one of my favourites, and however many times I watch it, it brings a tear to my eyes...
I couldn't help but laugh at 6:58 "he knows his shit" as he's literally picking up packaged shit.
Loving your reactions Mary! 🙂💓
If you have t already, you should watch Alfonso Cuaron’s Gravity from 2013. Equally as intense if not more so.
You should absolutely enjoy the audiobook of this as well. The sass/smart ass is dialed up even more and the voice actor playing Mark does a brilliant job.
7:26 During WW2 my grandmother had some potatoes saved to plant in the spring. They were starving though and ate the potatoes and saved the eyes(they weren't sure if you needed the flesh of the potatoes or not). They didn't starve that day or when it came time to grow them.
So yes.. the answer is yes.
They answer the blowout a bit more clearly in the book. He kept using the same exit over and over, and the canvas wore out and tore.
The ship the crew is on, Hermes, is a giant ship that does not do good in turning around sharply. Its like a bus that takes the crew to and fro Earth and Mars using an ion engine that's constantly accelerating compared to a fuel engine like they do in Iris and Tien Shen (sp?).
Its why the MAV and MDV are important ships. Hermies is the main ship that gets you to earth and mars but MAV gets you out of mars while the MDV gets you from Hermes to Mars.
MacKenzie Davis is in this too. I loved her in the show Halt and Catch Fire.
I watched this in film class a few months ago and I loved it
I hope you see/saw Castaway and Apollo 13.
There should be a compilation of Mary saying "This is my worst nightmare."
This Is my favorite movie to watch love the video Mary stay motivated dream big 1 mill on the way
Poor Dr. Mann, that was EPIC!!!! Greetings from Guatemala 🇬🇹🍻
Potatoes are kind of amazing: Very nutritious + store well + will grow in rocky, shallow, poor soils up to and including in quite cold climates. Their introduction to Europe had a major impact on the ability to reliably grow food, and hence sustain larger populations, in many poor countries and areas with marginal cropland. The 'Potato Famine' in Ireland was called that because dependence on that crop meant that potato disease was catastrophic (though there were political/logistical reasons why so many people died; Ireland was still exporting food at the time) and generations of poor people in Scandinavia have relied on potatoes plus preserved fish (in Norway, 'herring and potatoes' is proverbial) for large parts of their diet.
Because it was new and foreign and the potato plant itself is poisonous, part of the nightshade family, it took a while for them to catch on in Europe after the initial Columbian exchange. Frederick the Great of Prussia is also known as 'The Potato King' for his efforts to convince people to try growing them; there is a tradition of leaving potatoes on his grave. :)
"That looks like Ned Stark"
Well thats because it is
If you want some more of Andy Weir, should check out his short story The Egg. Can be read in like 5 minutes and it's pretty interesting, albeit with a bit of existential paranoia
It was so funny at 7:00 when you said he knows his shit - because of how literally true and pertinent it became moments later...
When coming from reading the book it is an ok movie. Good acting and a good translation of the story. The movie misses in a number of ways and does some character changes. You also don't get what was going on with crew as they pretty much dropped that part of the story. You also miss the detail of what he is experiencing that is described in graphic detail in the book. This is the one movie I would tell people go get the book you really get so much more.
I agree. I absolutely loved the book and whilst this is a good movie, they cut out so much.
Unless the movie is 3 1/2-4 hours, they can't include everything in the book. Stuff has to be cut. The crew's story is obviously secondary to Watney's, so they chose to cut that stuff out of the film adaptation.
@@brandonb.5304 Though they did at least film (though cut out) the bit where Johanssen and Beck's love affair was verified. Basically Commander Lewis says that normally she'd be pissed and it would be considered an unneeded distraction for the mission. But this is nowhere NEAR a normal mission anymore. So she just tells them to share a bunk and try not to scare the locals. :D It's one of the "extras" on the DVD.
Thanks for the video. I enjoyed it.
