Film The Martian
I watched the film The Martian again last night. I personally think it's a great film, it's just a shame they left so much junk up there.

I've watched it twice and enjoyed it both times, but the many scientific mistakes did grate a bit. Hollywood always has to jazz things up. Virtually no atmosphere, yet a massive storm catastrophically damages everything solid provided by NASA (or possibly Space X ) . Yet he survives for hundreds of days using the same wrecked kit repaired with plastic and duct tape. I think we can all imagine how hostile Mars would be to life even if nothing went wrong. They will have to start with a moonbase. I think a manned mission to Mars would be suicide with present technology. No storms on the moon too lol.

Enjoyed the film .... watched it a couple of times.
But I don't think it was based on a true story.. ! The book is a good read and there's more in it too. If you want more space junk watch Gravity! Stay safe folks ... the end is in sight...!? John

Morally, they couldnt, it is a bit like Attenborough's teams. They are there to observe only not interfere.

At one point Mark Watney was having 1 potato (roughly) every three days lol. I dont think weight/size would be an issue lol.
I wonder if the e-coli bacteria could have even been present? The entire crew and food would have been pretty sterile before leaving earth. He was a botanist, so worked with what he knew, and the only slurry he knew that would work was freeze dried human waste, where again any bacteria should have been destroyed - I wonder if the slurry would have been potent enough for it to actually work. hmmm more questions now.....

The book is great.
For a really excellent interview with the author Andy Weir check this out - and pay attention to the scientific work https://arstechnica.com/science/2014...ans-andy-weir/ |
