@@StarkRG - Sorry but no... none of that would happen. All that stuff is from sci-fi movies that LOVE to dramatize the effects as if they are extreme pressure changes. They aren't. Spacecraft, (as well as the hab and suits) are pressurized to maybe half of earth sea level pressure using O2-rich atmo. Earth sea level pressure is 1 bar (just under 15psi)... so half that is a 7psi difference. That's like the pressure change when you dive to the deep end of a pool. It's not a pressure that ruptures tissues or otherwise causes humans any undue distress. Heck, it's not even enough pressure change to give you "the bends".
It’s been years since I read the book; was the secondary airlock mentioned in it BEFORE the primary failed? When seeing the movie before reading the book, I constantly was asking if he was moving between them or just using the same one continuously since you saw the other in the background of multiple shots. It probably wouldn’t have failed if he had evened out the usage more.
he just didnt think about it. the second airlock was mentioned. the hab was only supposed to be needed for 30 days and he had been using thd door for 119 days
It would have happened eventually even if he kept using the two airlocks because the hab wasn’t supposed to be used that frequently, and in the boom he was going in and out of the airlock daily.
In fact, the hab (at least in the books) had THREE Airlocks. It's just that the Rover and Pathfinder were at the same airlock and he started using that one more and more and what was a minor material fault that might've never been an issue with normal use - became a giant fault - and then a massive point of failure when Mark overstressed it by constantly using the one airlock. In the book - from the point at which he repairs and seals the hab until he leaves for Schiaparelli Crater, he makes a point of ALWAYS alternating his usage of airlocks with the remaining two airlocks.
there is a deleted scene and scene in the book where the commander reveals she knew Johansen and one of the other crew members are shall we say getting frisky and martinez then just mentions how they joined the million mile high club and broke so many records ( as well as rules)

Explode- to expand outward violently. Implode- to crush in on oneself. The unequal pressures would cause your body to compress like a crushed soda can...if thats how it works. No one had ever been exposed to vacuum in space, so we don't know.
There was a worker at NASA exposed to vacuum when a suit test went wrong in a vacuum chamber in the 60's. A hose came lose and he instantly lost pressure in the suit. He passed out after about 10-15 seconds, and they were able to get to him and repressurize within about 30 seconds. He said he had an ear ache, but that was pretty much it. No permanent damage, and he didn't even take the rest of the day off work. Obviously he would have died had they not gotten to him quickly, but definitely no implosion. The whole thing is on video. Both the video and interviews with him and the other technicians who were there are available on YT.
Remember the little Titan submersible (submarine) than was lost diving down to Titanic shipwreck last June of 2023 with all 5 person lost, that was a extreme example of a Imposition!
We don’t need to go to space to experience hard vacuum. We have vacuum chambers on Earth. They’ve shot films showing the inside of NASA’s full-scale vacuum chamber (Armageddon, Transformers 3). If you hit vacuum without a Pressure Suit on you will pop and leak-out from the inside because your organs (esp. lungs) exert outward pressure too.
I read the book in 24 hours, it was such a great read and really science packed, even though I don’t know science stuff. One part they don’t mention is that Watney realises later on that he could probably have grown the potatoes again, because only the surface froze and formed a sort of ice barrier of sorts, the soil underneath was likely still fertile. And in the books Watney never got to fly like iron man, the launch went better since the calculations were well done. The author wrote it to be as scientifically feasible as possible using modern technology, a lot of hypotheses were accounted for; even though of course it was only fiction.
Glad you enjoyed the movie! You might also enjoy the book. If anything it's even more tense! 5:25 Implode means the opposite of explode. "collapse or cause to collapse violently inwards" 30:01 Have you never seen Sean Bean before this, or did you just not know his name until now? If you've never seen him before, I think we suddenly have a bunch of movies to recommend to you! 30:39 This cracked me up 😂 A perfectly reasonable reaction to seeing Cillian Murphy!
Speaking of Sean Bean, I first saw him in GOLDENEYE (1995), the first James Bond film with Pierce Brosnan playing the title character. One of the Top 5 best Bond films in my view, with an iconic theme song composed by 2 of the composers of U2 and performed by the late Tina Turner.
Good eye on saying it reminds you of Alien cause it's the same director! He also directed The Gladiator. Watching all these movies has really given you an eye for this stuff. The up next movie, Sunshine with Cillian Murphy, is a great movie. Highly underrated
Technically the habitat module would not "Implode" (crushed by the outside pressure) it would in fact explode as the Mars atmosphere is only 1% of that of Earth's. As humans we require 1 Earth's Atmosphere at sea level, 1013.25 millibars. Mars is 6 to 7 millibars depending on the time of year.
Implode: To collapse or cause to collapse violently inwards: He is most likely talking about his shelter, do to the difference in pressures from outside.
Explode is the exact opposite of implode. Like the individuals on the Titanic submersible, the amount of pressure from the ocean water caused those in the submarine to implode or collapse in on oneself violently. Literally an inward explosion rather than an outward one.
Imploding is the exact opposite of what would happen to a pressurized hab in a near zero pressure environment. That line in the film made no sense. But in reality, this film's writers didn't seem to understand the physics or science behind any of this.
@@Mr.Ekshin We have footage of people being subjected to near vaccum. They don't pop, they don't crumble. They typically get sluggish, with a goofy grin on their faces, and some twitching before they go limp. But that won't work well in a movie. The audience won't understand it without a lot of tedious exposition to explain it to them.
@@hermanrobak1285 - And yeah, you're right. The transition from a spacecraft (typically pressurized to about 7psi or 1/2 earth atmo) to 0 psi is less of a transition than diving down to the deep end of a swimming pool. Nothing pops or bursts. TV and movies have made people believe all kinds of catastrophic nonsense on this subject.
when you see something EXPLODE, like a firework, that's what makes all the pretty colours and designs, IMPLODE, is when everything "explodes" inwards, rather than outwards.
10:00 Interesting notes on the Pathfinder lander and the small Sojourner rover packed in with it. - It was the first attempt at a landing technique using "Ballutes" - basically there was a parachute (and I THINK a rudimentary rocket braking system kind of like the later "Sky Crane" types that were used for the Curiosity and Perseverance rovers. The lander in it's folded up configuration had BALLOONS on all the outer panels that inflated - then Pathfinder was dropped from the parachute and rocket braking system once it was a certain distance above the ground. The Pathfinder lander balloons (or "ballutes") cushioned the impact with the ground and the lander rolled a short distance. Once it stopped rolling, the lander unfolded. And because of the way it was designed - it didn't matter if came to rest upside-down or not. When it unfolded it would automatically flip over to the correct upright position. - Pathfinder was the first Mars lander whose exploits were broadcast on the Internet live by NASA. This was back in the days of mostly dial-up modem tech. Only a handful of people had broadband. Naturally the load of people trying to download all of the pictures from Pathfinder on the World Wide Web CRATERED the website! (Pun intended) - The Sojourner rover never went very far. But it did it's job of collecting samples from nearby rocks and at least was successful as a proof of concept of a rover and lander combo system. - The techniques for linking Pathfinder with the Rover ( the human sized Rover that is) in this film are at least theoretically credible. As is the idea of retrieving (Most) of the original scientists out of retirement to set up the ANCIENT computer tech and mesh it in with newer tech. - In the books - Mark Watney has a little ACCIDENT involving the rock drill and Pathfinder - and FRIES Pathfinder with too much electricity - loosing communications with NASA AGAIN!!! FORTUNATELY most of the planning for his trip across Mars had already been done by that point. So he just sticks with the plan - improvising along the way of course. And the LACK of communications is where the whole joke about him being a Space Pirate comes from! Both Mark and NASA had ASSUMED he'd take over the Mars Ascent Vehicle when he got there. But they hadn't finalized the plans and had not - as he said - given him express PERMISSION to do so (even if it was assumed) verbally or in text. So TECHNICALLY he's correct - by Maritime laws he was a Space Pirate until he got the retroactive permission from NASA. Naturally this whole point is kinda glossed over in the movie. The question being - DID he have comms or NOT? His monologue about the scientists telling him the plan about the changes to the MAV and telling him he'd be "the fastest man in space" - BEFORE he arrives at the Ascent Vehicle - implies that he DOES. Which kinda invalidates the whole Space Pirate joke... But oh well. In a movie where they did SO MUCH ELSE CORRECTLY I'll let that mistake slide. 🤷♂ 🤪
If Mars were able to be terraformed (given an atmosphere) then the planet could be settled and crops grown in the soil. The soil of Mars is not that much different than the soil of some regions of Earth. It would not be the rich loam soil of the midwestern US and much of Europe but very much like the soil of places like inner Australia and other arid and semiarid regions of Earth. Wheat and other similar grains would thrive in that soil with irrigation or a steady rainfall. With the technology available today we could very well crossbreed other crops to grow there such as corn, potatoes, milo and some fruits and vegetables. Some crops would probably not need crossbreeding to grow there such as date palms and the like that already grow in desert soils.
It was pretty realistic, which was one of the selling points of the novel. The storm at the start was unrealistic because Mars's atmosphere is too thin to have such an energetic sandstorm, and people have said that Martian "soil" is too inorganic to support plantlife, even mixed with feces. Martian "soil" is just weathered basalt mixed with a few salts.
Imploding is basically a violent shift in pressure removing pressure causes a massive rupture of all internal organs. It's one of the things that a pressure suit is designed to protect you from. The best thing to do of course is to read Andy Weir's novel or listen to it on Audible. You'll also hear what was left out and added to the script in the movie.
The 'steely eyed missile man' remark is a high compliment that dates to military use by SAC and through the Space Program. There was no higher compliment you could pay someone than that at NASA.
It was originally used to compliment one of the NASA engineers who helped get Apollo 13 back to earth! It is shown the the Ron Howard movie of the same name….
Great reaction like alwyas love this movie and you might enjoy reading the book this movie is based on, 'The Martian' by Andy Weir. There's like twice the amount of getting into Watney's head as he goes through the problem solving and science throughout his adventure. Matt Damon is fitting and does a great job playing the character, but really he's just channeling the writer's spirit as the book and character was written, smart and fun. Thanks to Weir's expertise, this story is one of the hardest scifi stories I've heard of, meaning all the presented science is theoretically sound by modern understanding, only the events themselves are fictional. (This with one notable exception, there is one glaring scientific flaw in this movie, which is that Mars' atmosphere is too thin to have such a sandstorm as was required to set up the whole story in the beginning.)
29:45 "What? Martinez is going back?" Yeah! I get that it seems like a heartwarming way to show him during the credits, but when you think it through, you've got to wonder what happened to his marriage. Gone for years, comes back ... and leaves again for a couple *more* years.
To explain hexadecimal to you, Mark needed an easy way to get information from NASA using a spinning camera. They can’t spell words because, like he says, it would be too narrow a margin for 26 letters. Instead, he makes a ring with 16 characters, the numbers 0-9 and letters A-F. They send him pairs of characters that make a number in base 16 (hexa = 6, dec = 10). With those two characters, and the lookup table he gets from Johanssen’s computer, he can receive anything a keyboard on a computer can type with little chance of messing it up. If you liked the movie, I highly recommend the book or audiobook. It contains a lot of the details the movie had to leave out for time and such, but is also pretty funny throughout. It’s mostly told through Mark’s journal entries while stranded and he’s one sarcastic son of a bitch.
Well another great vid, however you missed a big one. The whole Eldron secret meeting was an Easter egg that thrilled audiences. Sean Bean’s character is explaining that it means it is named after a secret meeting from Lord of the Rings….in which Sean Bean’s character was AT that meeting in LOTR. It was a moment of movie magic….! Dios le bendiga…
"How are we going to get out of March?" Ironically, you're not far off. You may have noticed the similarities between the words Mars and March, this is because both the month and the planet are named after the Roman God Mars. Interestingly, because Mars is the god of war, the very steps taken by soldiers were named for him as well, and to this very day, soldiers do not walk, they "March". Unfortunately for the Roman legions, it was very difficult to mobilize troops during winter, so they waited until spring to go to war, for this reason, they named the first month of spring after Mars, that is why soldiers could finally march in the month of March so they could go to war for Mars.
There is a picture of Matt Damon reading the book this movie is based on. The caption reads, "The Martian, reading The Martian, on the set of The Martian."
You remember that submarine that went down to the Titanic and got crushed by the incredible pressure? That is an implosion. That wouldn't actually happen on Mars as they describe it in the movie, it was a misuse of the word.
You mentioned you're a fan of the history of the American Revolution, and if so, I *strongly* recommend the film "1776." It began as a smash Broadway musical. Sherman Edwards was the mastermind behind the production: He was a history buff with a special love for the Revolution, a composer and librettist, and part of New York's artistic caste. Just for fun, he liked to write songs about the American Revolution, performed these for his friends, someone suggested he arrange these into a musical -- and since he people on Broadway, he did. And since Edwards was such an American Revolution buff, his take on the history and personalities is spot on. The film could be used as a textbook -- of the song and dance variety. Hollywood studio chief Jack Warner himself bought the film rights for Warner Brothers in time for the Bicentennial and the film was released in 1972.
1776 and the John Adams miniseries are from Adams’ point of view, largely taken from his letters to his wife; he and Abigail wrote each other constantly. One thing that comes out in the miniseries is the low opinion he had of Alexander Hamilton, which makes it a real mind-bender if you then watch the musical “Hamilton” and see the post-Revolution years from the other side.
BTW, after talking up "1776" I just had to re-watch my copy from my Blu-Ray/DVD collection, and it turns out Jack Warner bought it for Columbia Pictures, not WB; I have no idea how that happened. I'll say it again, the film is terrific, poignant, and deeply moving in its final half.
To implode is the opposite of exploding so in his case his body would be crushed. I really admire people who learn multiple languages. I've been trying to learn Swedish :)
@Centane Since you are a reader, I highly recommend that you read the book. The Martian by Andy Weir. The movie did an admirable job of adopting the book but there are still a lot of things that were left out. So much fun stuff is missing but its inevitable, you only have so much time in a movie. Oh and that was indeed Boromir from LotR. ( Sean Bean )
"Implode": Imagine your entire 62 kg. body suddenly being crushed so small it's able to fit inside an 8 oz. Coffee mug (or even smaller). In Deep Sea Submarines, the Analogy is comparing it to a tin can being crushed by the water.
in the book what mark replied to vincent after the " your message is being broadcast worldwide" was " Look a pair of boobs - in text form" in the movie in a deleted scene its mentioned whats a felcher
Implode is the opposite of explode. It's what happens when outside pressure is a lot higher that inner pressure...like that submarine that was trying to explore the Titanic wreckage.
Mark went thru 12G's velocity causing him to be knocked out. 12G's mean that Mark went through 12 times more than normal gravity. Example: average weight for man is 180 Lbs. 12 X 180 = 2100 Lbs. What keeps him from killed by the G's is that astronauts and jet pilots wear G-Suits. Suit keep Mark from being killed from the G's
Hopefully you explained on patreon but when you said his name is Sean Bean at the end, well, maybe not. The secret meeting, 'Project Elrond', Lord of the Rings, Lord Elrond of Rivendell, the meeting to decide the fate of the One ring, Sean Bean played Boromir in the scene. Tip my hat to that reference.
In the movie, the PR lady jokingly says to the assembled scientists/nerds "I hate you all." In the book, she says "I bet none of you got laid in high school."
When something EXplodes, it blows apart. When something IMplodes, it collapses inwards. Star explodes = supernova Star implodes = black hole That’s the general idea anyway. You understand?
Implode is the opposite of explode, meaning being crushed, its because of the pressure outside being bigger than the inside. Think of it like the OceanGate Pepsi can that imploded 4km under the ocean last year
Although it won't, that's just a script mistake that got past everyone. (he wouldn't _explode_ either but the pressure _would_ be outwards, not inwards)
If you think of an unopened soda can, attach a weight to it and gradually lower it into the sea, when it reaches a certain depth where it cant resist the increasing external pressure any longer it will be crushed or split along a seam because the external pressure of the sea water is greater than the sealed internal pressure of the can. That's an implosion as happened to the Titan mini sub
Indeed. Though of course that's _not_ what would happen to Watney (for him the external pressure is _less_ than his internal pressure, so he'd swell up - albeit not explode). (and nice screen name BTW, good to see the classics are still appreciated :)
The book is even better. There is much more (well explained) science in the book. And in general, the science is pretty accurate except for the storm and the "Iron Man" scenes. This is pretty rare for a Hollywood movie.
That's true. In the book Matt kind of jokingly made the Iron Man suggestion. Beck, not Commander Lewis, made it all the way to Matt while still tethered. Andy Wier acknowledges the science error that the atmosphere on Mars is too thin to have enough force to tip the MAV. He really did his research and just made the decision to ignore this particular issue. He just really needed it for the plot.@@bigdream_dreambig
When I got the DVD I was starting to get stressed and thinking I was going crazy because I kept missing my favourite scenes... and then I realised the downloaded version I had been watching was the extended version and none of my favourite moments were in the DVD release. Relief and disappointment. I should say my absolute favourite moments of course, because there are still plenty of favourite moments; mostly aimed at Martinez & Johansson still there :-) kerk
It's one of my favourite movies (and books) of all time (second only to "Sunshine" and "Aliens" I think). It's such a human story and when I first watched it, it totally destroyed me 😭 It's a fabulous film and Matt Damon was outstanding as Mark Watney. Centane - you're amazing (especially with English being your THIRD language). I struggle with French and Spanish (although I can chat a bit). You live is a very beautiful part of the world. Like you, I was utterly destroyed by Gladiator as well especially the last bit where Maximus is reunited with his wife and son in Elysium. WATCH "Sunshine" (2007) (with Cillian Murphy). It is an amazing film. I ❤ your channel 🥰 Jo x
I think that when we watch these kind of movies, we are conditioned to believe that there always has to be one bad bureaucrat, that only cares about money or his career. And I understand why you see Jeff Daniel’s head of NASA as that person. But really he is just as invested in saving Mark. He just has to have the bigger picture in mind. The “bad guy” in this movie is the situation, everyone else is working for the same thing.
There is another connection between The Martian and The Expanse. the writers of the Expanse books Ty Franck and Daniel Abraham are friends with Andy Weir the writer of the Martian . In the book Babylon's Ashes there is a martian ship called the "Mark Watney" suggesting the events of the martian and the expanse happen in the same universe.
@@edwinsuijkerbuijk5106 very cool. Thanks for sharing. I often joke around that The Expanse is a prequel to Firefly because in one of the last three books, can't remember which, there is a reference to a planet/system named Persephone.
Glad that you enjoyed the movie... For more sci-fi/mars related movies, I can't recommend enough the movie "Mission to Mars" (2000) and for more sci-fi/survival, the movie "Enemy Mine" (1985), both criminally underrated. I'm aware that you have a shit ton of movies in your "to do" list, so don't consider this a request, but more a recommendation in the long term...
in the book and some deleted scenes in the movie they mention how if things go wrong like if the missed the supply rocket etc would only be enough food for one of them to survive the 900 days in space. which would be Johansen the pilot. even then everyone else would have to die including mark and she would have to eat them. Martinez made a joke after succeeding with the supply rocket who would you have eaten first I thought you liked mexican food.
I'm glad you enjoyed this one. I love the psychology of isolation that it explores. The science is very accurate, other than the wind storm which was exaggerated.
The storm was not exaggerated. But the wind pressure in the storm was definitely exaggerated. At 1% ATM pressure that storm would not have blown the dish or the MAV to that extent.
Also the Iron Man stunt. Puncturing one glove was much more likely to cause him to tumble uncontrollably in one place than it was to propel him the remaining distance he needed to travel.
Great movie and a great reaction too! 🥰 just a little surprised you don't know Sean Bean, he's a pretty well known actor, he played Boromir in The Lord of the Rings, and also a main role in Game of Thrones and much more.
Don't be too harsh on Teddy. He may seem unfeeling, and may seem fake, but as the Head of NASA he's had to watch funding get stomped on for years, while the towns and cities surrounding Kennedy Space Center boarded up and turned into ghost towns. He unfortunately has to consider all of NASA, and specifically NASA's funding. Which politicians love to gut, because they rarely invest in projects where the Return on Interest is outside their term in office (because they can't campaign on it). So, he has to be ultra careful about bad news, bad image etc... SpaceX helped turn that exodus of people around a bit, and with the private space industry picking up (Blue Origin, Relativity etc...), the area around KSC is a bit healthier now. But, not too long ago it was genuinely sad how empty all those areas were.
I highly recommend the book or audio-book. There are a lot more obstacles Mark has to overcome. The writer consulted scientists so the book is about as accurate as is possible from our understanding, the movie is pretty close.
Well, as Weir himself admits, the first storm (i.e. the only one we see in the film) is _massively_ exaggerated to provide a dramatic instigating incident. In reality the atmospheric pressure on Mars is much too low for a storm like that. (but yep, _after_ that, in the book at least, he took great pains to try to keep it realistic)

@@richardlong3745 I think it was more an implosion, not imposition. It was also caused by extreme pressure, so the opposite of vacuum.
He’s in low gravity with an external vacuum, he would explode, not implode
I read the book in 24 hours, it was such a great read and really science packed, even though I don’t know science stuff.
One part they don’t mention is that Watney realises later on that he could probably have grown the potatoes again, because only the surface froze and formed a sort of ice barrier of sorts, the soil underneath was likely still fertile.
And in the books Watney never got to fly like iron man, the launch went better since the calculations were well done.
The author wrote it to be as scientifically feasible as possible using modern technology, a lot of hypotheses were accounted for; even though of course it was only fiction.
In the book you find out he is also an engineer. All the crew have dual specialties.
Glad you enjoyed the movie! You might also enjoy the book. If anything it's even more tense!
5:25 Implode means the opposite of explode. "collapse or cause to collapse violently inwards"
30:01 Have you never seen Sean Bean before this, or did you just not know his name until now? If you've never seen him before, I think we suddenly have a bunch of movies to recommend to you!
30:39 This cracked me up 😂 A perfectly reasonable reaction to seeing Cillian Murphy!
I've seen him before! He's Boromir in LOTR, but I never knew his name ☺️🤍 and the ending to Cillian Murphy, he caught me off guard 😂
@@radbarij I know. I wasn't going to mention that, since it's a huge spoiler for almost everything he's in.
Speaking of Sean Bean, I first saw him in GOLDENEYE (1995), the first James Bond film with Pierce Brosnan playing the title character. One of the Top 5 best Bond films in my view, with an iconic theme song composed by 2 of the composers of U2 and performed by the late Tina Turner.
It's nice she watched the credit scenes. So many miss that.
Good eye on saying it reminds you of Alien cause it's the same director! He also directed The Gladiator. Watching all these movies has really given you an eye for this stuff.
The up next movie, Sunshine with Cillian Murphy, is a great movie. Highly underrated
Technically the habitat module would not "Implode" (crushed by the outside pressure) it would in fact explode as the Mars atmosphere is only 1% of that of Earth's. As humans we require 1 Earth's Atmosphere at sea level, 1013.25 millibars. Mars is 6 to 7 millibars depending on the time of year.
This movie was based on a book by Andrew Weir. Another book of his you might enjoy is Hail Mary.
Great book! And a movie of it is also being produced right now. I'm really looking forward to seeing that 😊
that reccomendation at the end "sunshine" is also a really good space movie
Nice to see you knocking out the reactions in 2024 👍
thank you so much! ❤️
As Martian, this is my favorite Martian movie 💜 Lovely reaction too 👌
Implode: To collapse or cause to collapse violently inwards: He is most likely talking about his shelter, do to the difference in pressures from outside.
Explode is the exact opposite of implode. Like the individuals on the Titanic submersible, the amount of pressure from the ocean water caused those in the submarine to implode or collapse in on oneself violently. Literally an inward explosion rather than an outward one.
Imploding is the exact opposite of what would happen to a pressurized hab in a near zero pressure environment. That line in the film made no sense. But in reality, this film's writers didn't seem to understand the physics or science behind any of this.
@@Mr.Ekshin We have footage of people being subjected to near vaccum. They don't pop, they don't crumble. They typically get sluggish, with a goofy grin on their faces, and some twitching before they go limp.
But that won't work well in a movie. The audience won't understand it without a lot of tedious exposition to explain it to them.
@@hermanrobak1285 - The sluggishness and goofy grin is hypoxia setting in.
@@hermanrobak1285 - And yeah, you're right. The transition from a spacecraft (typically pressurized to about 7psi or 1/2 earth atmo) to 0 psi is less of a transition than diving down to the deep end of a swimming pool. Nothing pops or bursts. TV and movies have made people believe all kinds of catastrophic nonsense on this subject.
when you see something EXPLODE, like a firework, that's what makes all the pretty colours and designs, IMPLODE, is when everything "explodes" inwards, rather than outwards.
10:00 Interesting notes on the Pathfinder lander and the small Sojourner rover packed in with it.
- It was the first attempt at a landing technique using "Ballutes" - basically there was a parachute (and I THINK a rudimentary rocket braking system kind of like the later "Sky Crane" types that were used for the Curiosity and Perseverance rovers. The lander in it's folded up configuration had BALLOONS on all the outer panels that inflated - then Pathfinder was dropped from the parachute and rocket braking system once it was a certain distance above the ground. The Pathfinder lander balloons (or "ballutes") cushioned the impact with the ground and the lander rolled a short distance. Once it stopped rolling, the lander unfolded. And because of the way it was designed - it didn't matter if came to rest upside-down or not. When it unfolded it would automatically flip over to the correct upright position.
- Pathfinder was the first Mars lander whose exploits were broadcast on the Internet live by NASA. This was back in the days of mostly dial-up modem tech. Only a handful of people had broadband. Naturally the load of people trying to download all of the pictures from Pathfinder on the World Wide Web CRATERED the website! (Pun intended)
- The Sojourner rover never went very far. But it did it's job of collecting samples from nearby rocks and at least was successful as a proof of concept of a rover and lander combo system.
- The techniques for linking Pathfinder with the Rover ( the human sized Rover that is) in this film are at least theoretically credible. As is the idea of retrieving (Most) of the original scientists out of retirement to set up the ANCIENT computer tech and mesh it in with newer tech.
- In the books - Mark Watney has a little ACCIDENT involving the rock drill and Pathfinder - and FRIES Pathfinder with too much electricity - loosing communications with NASA AGAIN!!! FORTUNATELY most of the planning for his trip across Mars had already been done by that point. So he just sticks with the plan - improvising along the way of course.
And the LACK of communications is where the whole joke about him being a Space Pirate comes from! Both Mark and NASA had ASSUMED he'd take over the Mars Ascent Vehicle when he got there. But they hadn't finalized the plans and had not - as he said - given him express PERMISSION to do so (even if it was assumed) verbally or in text. So TECHNICALLY he's correct - by Maritime laws he was a Space Pirate until he got the retroactive permission from NASA.
Naturally this whole point is kinda glossed over in the movie. The question being - DID he have comms or NOT? His monologue about the scientists telling him the plan about the changes to the MAV and telling him he'd be "the fastest man in space" - BEFORE he arrives at the Ascent Vehicle - implies that he DOES. Which kinda invalidates the whole Space Pirate joke...
But oh well. In a movie where they did SO MUCH ELSE CORRECTLY I'll let that mistake slide. 🤷♂ 🤪
If Mars were able to be terraformed (given an atmosphere) then the planet could be settled and crops grown in the soil.
The soil of Mars is not that much different than the soil of some regions of Earth.
It would not be the rich loam soil of the midwestern US and much of Europe but very much like the soil of places like inner Australia and other arid and semiarid regions of Earth.
Wheat and other similar grains would thrive in that soil with irrigation or a steady rainfall.
With the technology available today we could very well crossbreed other crops to grow there such as corn, potatoes, milo and some fruits and vegetables.
Some crops would probably not need crossbreeding to grow there such as date palms and the like that already grow in desert soils.
Yes, but isn't the soil also incredibly toxic? I think that NASA actually learned that after this came out.
@@robertlombardo8437 I hadn't read that study yet.
I will have to research that.
That is a valid point if true.
It was pretty realistic, which was one of the selling points of the novel. The storm at the start was unrealistic because Mars's atmosphere is too thin to have such an energetic sandstorm, and people have said that Martian "soil" is too inorganic to support plantlife, even mixed with feces. Martian "soil" is just weathered basalt mixed with a few salts.
Good one, Kamilla! This was fun to rewatch with you. Thanks for sharing it. 🙂
"How are we gonna get out of March?"
By waiting for April, of course.
this made me laugh much more than it should 😭
Imploding is basically a violent shift in pressure removing pressure causes a massive rupture of all internal organs. It's one of the things that a pressure suit is designed to protect you from.
The best thing to do of course is to read Andy Weir's novel or listen to it on Audible. You'll also hear what was left out and added to the script in the movie.
The 'steely eyed missile man' remark is a high compliment that dates to military use by SAC and through the Space Program. There was no higher compliment you could pay someone than that at NASA.
It was originally used to compliment one of the NASA engineers who helped get Apollo 13 back to earth! It is shown the the Ron Howard movie of the same name….
@@QBAN2010 Yes it was, however it was in use, in the 'real world' well before then. That was just a well publicised instance of its useage.
Great reaction like alwyas love this movie and you might enjoy reading the book this movie is based on, 'The Martian' by Andy Weir. There's like twice the amount of getting into Watney's head as he goes through the problem solving and science throughout his adventure. Matt Damon is fitting and does a great job playing the character, but really he's just channeling the writer's spirit as the book and character was written, smart and fun. Thanks to Weir's expertise, this story is one of the hardest scifi stories I've heard of, meaning all the presented science is theoretically sound by modern understanding, only the events themselves are fictional. (This with one notable exception, there is one glaring scientific flaw in this movie, which is that Mars' atmosphere is too thin to have such a sandstorm as was required to set up the whole story in the beginning.)
Ridley Scott really out did himself with this movie.
Ridley Scott didn’t write the book, create the special effects or write the scene play. He is ONLY a director.
One of the few films in which Sean Bean doesn't die.
LOL
Yeah, it was kind of distracting watching this movie and wondering the entire time when he was going to die.
Well, his career died, ...
The reason he dies in movies so often is it's the universe's way of attempting to reconcile the lack of rhyme in his name.
If you enjoyed this you should give Apollo 13 a try. Apollo 13 is based on a real mission.
Sunshine is definitely a movie to watch
29:45 "What? Martinez is going back?"
Yeah! I get that it seems like a heartwarming way to show him during the credits, but when you think it through, you've got to wonder what happened to his marriage. Gone for years, comes back ... and leaves again for a couple *more* years.
2:37 "What on Earth?"
-Kamilla while watching a movie named "The Martian", while watching characters in a storm...on Mars.
LMFAOO i ended up saying what on mars later !!
@@Centane 🤣
Bro come on, she literally said "What on Mars" later 😛
To explain hexadecimal to you, Mark needed an easy way to get information from NASA using a spinning camera. They can’t spell words because, like he says, it would be too narrow a margin for 26 letters. Instead, he makes a ring with 16 characters, the numbers 0-9 and letters A-F. They send him pairs of characters that make a number in base 16 (hexa = 6, dec = 10). With those two characters, and the lookup table he gets from Johanssen’s computer, he can receive anything a keyboard on a computer can type with little chance of messing it up.
If you liked the movie, I highly recommend the book or audiobook. It contains a lot of the details the movie had to leave out for time and such, but is also pretty funny throughout. It’s mostly told through Mark’s journal entries while stranded and he’s one sarcastic son of a bitch.
19:23 I love how her tone tells her superior, "Kindly shut up; I've been forced to listen to this once before." 😆
All hail Captain blond beard😂
Rich Pernell is a Steely eyed missile man….. that’s a quote from Apollo 13….. which means it was probably actually spoken….. Steely eyed missile man
Well another great vid, however you missed a big one. The whole Eldron secret meeting was an Easter egg that thrilled audiences. Sean Bean’s character is explaining that it means it is named after a secret meeting from Lord of the Rings….in which Sean Bean’s character was AT that meeting in LOTR. It was a moment of movie magic….! Dios le bendiga…
"How are we going to get out of March?"
Ironically, you're not far off. You may have noticed the similarities between the words Mars and March, this is because both the month and the planet are named after the Roman God Mars. Interestingly, because Mars is the god of war, the very steps taken by soldiers were named for him as well, and to this very day, soldiers do not walk, they "March".
Unfortunately for the Roman legions, it was very difficult to mobilize troops during winter, so they waited until spring to go to war, for this reason, they named the first month of spring after Mars, that is why soldiers could finally march in the month of March so they could go to war for Mars.
There is a picture of Matt Damon reading the book this movie is based on. The caption reads, "The Martian, reading The Martian, on the set of The Martian."
You remember that submarine that went down to the Titanic and got crushed by the incredible pressure? That is an implosion. That wouldn't actually happen on Mars as they describe it in the movie, it was a misuse of the word.
You mentioned you're a fan of the history of the American Revolution, and if so, I *strongly* recommend the film "1776."
It began as a smash Broadway musical. Sherman Edwards was the mastermind behind the production: He was a history buff with a special love for the Revolution, a composer and librettist, and part of New York's artistic caste. Just for fun, he liked to write songs about the American Revolution, performed these for his friends, someone suggested he arrange these into a musical -- and since he people on Broadway, he did. And since Edwards was such an American Revolution buff, his take on the history and personalities is spot on. The film could be used as a textbook -- of the song and dance variety. Hollywood studio chief Jack Warner himself bought the film rights for Warner Brothers in time for the Bicentennial and the film was released in 1972.
I’d say the John Adams miniseries from HBO as well.
1776 and the John Adams miniseries are from Adams’ point of view, largely taken from his letters to his wife; he and Abigail wrote each other constantly. One thing that comes out in the miniseries is the low opinion he had of Alexander Hamilton, which makes it a real mind-bender if you then watch the musical “Hamilton” and see the post-Revolution years from the other side.
BTW, after talking up "1776" I just had to re-watch my copy from my Blu-Ray/DVD collection, and it turns out Jack Warner bought it for Columbia Pictures, not WB; I have no idea how that happened. I'll say it again, the film is terrific, poignant, and deeply moving in its final half.
To implode is the opposite of exploding so in his case his body would be crushed.
I really admire people who learn multiple languages. I've been trying to learn Swedish :)
@Centane
Since you are a reader, I highly recommend that you read the book. The Martian by Andy Weir. The movie did an admirable job of adopting the book but there are still a lot of things that were left out. So much fun stuff is missing but its inevitable, you only have so much time in a movie.
Oh and that was indeed Boromir from LotR. ( Sean Bean )
Andy Weir's most recent book, Project Hail Mary, has a similar vibe and is very enjoyable.
"Implode": Imagine your entire 62 kg. body suddenly being crushed so small it's able to fit inside an 8 oz. Coffee mug (or even smaller).
In Deep Sea Submarines, the Analogy is comparing it to a tin can being crushed by the water.
in the book what mark replied to vincent after the " your message is being broadcast worldwide" was " Look a pair of boobs - in text form" in the movie in a deleted scene its mentioned whats a felcher
Implode is the opposite of explode. It's what happens when outside pressure is a lot higher that inner pressure...like that submarine that was trying to explore the Titanic wreckage.
Centane
Implode means pressures collapsing inward. If habitat malfunctioned, Mark (Matt) would have collapsed inward because pressure would crush him.
Centane
1 SOL equals to 24 hours 39 minutes, and 35 seconds.
Mark went thru 12G's velocity causing him to be knocked out. 12G's mean that Mark went through 12 times more than normal gravity. Example: average weight for man is 180 Lbs. 12 X 180 = 2100 Lbs. What keeps him from killed by the G's is that astronauts and jet pilots wear G-Suits. Suit keep Mark from being killed from the G's
Great reaction! _Gravity_ starring Sandra Bullock and George Clooney is another space movie for your consideration.
Hopefully you explained on patreon but when you said his name is Sean Bean at the end, well, maybe not.
The secret meeting, 'Project Elrond', Lord of the Rings, Lord Elrond of Rivendell, the meeting to decide the fate of the One ring, Sean Bean played Boromir in the scene.
Tip my hat to that reference.
In the movie, the PR lady jokingly says to the assembled scientists/nerds "I hate you all."
In the book, she says "I bet none of you got laid in high school."
When something EXplodes, it blows apart.
When something IMplodes, it collapses inwards.
Star explodes = supernova
Star implodes = black hole
That’s the general idea anyway. You understand?
Implode is the opposite of explode, meaning being crushed, its because of the pressure outside being bigger than the inside. Think of it like the OceanGate Pepsi can that imploded 4km under the ocean last year
The google translator says the Norwegian translation of implode is "implodere". Basically getting crushed/compacted violently.
You edited out the pause before "bomb", and that was one of the best audio details in the film.
Implode is basically the opposite of explode, meaning his body will violently collapse into itself if that living area is breached
Although it won't, that's just a script mistake that got past everyone.
(he wouldn't _explode_ either but the pressure _would_ be outwards, not inwards)
This movie was made from a book and this was the authors very first book.
You should watch Sunshine it's a hidden gem.
This film is something might be my fav Matt Damon performance
Great reaction centane as always to a matt damon classic Glad u enjoyed it
One of the best things abuot this move is that Sean Bean doesn't die :)
You’ll enjoy the book. The film is a fantastic adaptation, but much simplified; the book has oodles of cool details they had to leave out.
Great Reaction........ One Thing I have Learned from movies...... NEVER travel with Tom Hanks or Matt Damon...... LoL
Super-enjoyable reaction, Cam. Thanks! 🤗
Your chair is cool and looks like it came from a spaceship -- did you get it from NASA? 😉
I think your English is fantastic. I'm American and I can say it's better than a lot of people born here.
one of my favorites, i remember i started watching in on work night to fall asleep to and watched it until gone 2am, see it countless times since
you should definitely watch sunshine!!!
If you think of an unopened soda can, attach a weight to it and gradually lower it into the sea, when it reaches a certain depth where it cant resist the increasing external pressure any longer it will be crushed or split along a seam because the external pressure of the sea water is greater than the sealed internal pressure of the can. That's an implosion as happened to the Titan mini sub
Indeed. Though of course that's _not_ what would happen to Watney (for him the external pressure is _less_ than his internal pressure, so he'd swell up - albeit not explode).
(and nice screen name BTW, good to see the classics are still appreciated :)
You said it reminds you of Alien. Well the guy that directed alien also did this movie.
implode is the opposite of explode, you get crushed instead having your bits spread everywhere.
The book is even better. There is much more (well explained) science in the book. And in general, the science is pretty accurate except for the storm and the "Iron Man" scenes. This is pretty rare for a Hollywood movie.
I heard (read) someone say the Iron Man stunt wasn't in the book for that very reason.
That's true. In the book Matt kind of jokingly made the Iron Man suggestion. Beck, not Commander Lewis, made it all the way to Matt while still tethered. Andy Wier acknowledges the science error that the atmosphere on Mars is too thin to have enough force to tip the MAV. He really did his research and just made the decision to ignore this particular issue. He just really needed it for the plot.@@bigdream_dreambig
When I got the DVD I was starting to get stressed and thinking I was going crazy because I kept missing my favourite scenes... and then I realised the downloaded version I had been watching was the extended version and none of my favourite moments were in the DVD release. Relief and disappointment. I should say my absolute favourite moments of course, because there are still plenty of favourite moments; mostly aimed at Martinez & Johansson still there :-) kerk
It's one of my favourite movies (and books) of all time (second only to "Sunshine" and "Aliens" I think). It's such a human story and when I first watched it, it totally destroyed me 😭 It's a fabulous film and Matt Damon was outstanding as Mark Watney. Centane - you're amazing (especially with English being your THIRD language). I struggle with French and Spanish (although I can chat a bit). You live is a very beautiful part of the world. Like you, I was utterly destroyed by Gladiator as well especially the last bit where Maximus is reunited with his wife and son in Elysium. WATCH "Sunshine" (2007) (with Cillian Murphy). It is an amazing film. I ❤ your channel 🥰 Jo x
I think that when we watch these kind of movies, we are conditioned to believe that there always has to be one bad bureaucrat, that only cares about money or his career. And I understand why you see Jeff Daniel’s head of NASA as that person. But really he is just as invested in saving Mark. He just has to have the bigger picture in mind. The “bad guy” in this movie is the situation, everyone else is working for the same thing.
He's very pragmatic and arguably realistic
Great reaction! Once upon a time, The Martian and Game of Thrones had a secret love child and they named it The Expanse.
There is another connection between The Martian and The Expanse.
the writers of the Expanse books Ty Franck and Daniel Abraham are friends with Andy Weir the writer of the Martian .
In the book Babylon's Ashes there is a martian ship called the "Mark Watney" suggesting the events of the martian and the expanse happen in the same universe.
@@edwinsuijkerbuijk5106 very cool. Thanks for sharing. I often joke around that The Expanse is a prequel to Firefly because in one of the last three books, can't remember which, there is a reference to a planet/system named
Persephone.
"Implode" is sort of the opposite of "explode". Being crushed by strong external pressure.
One of the greatest books i've ever read, and a great adaption from Ridley Scott
It's a pleasure to watch you experiencing good cinema, as always.
Glad that you enjoyed the movie... For more sci-fi/mars related movies, I can't recommend enough the movie "Mission to Mars" (2000) and for more sci-fi/survival, the movie "Enemy Mine" (1985), both criminally underrated.
I'm aware that you have a shit ton of movies in your "to do" list, so don't consider this a request, but more a recommendation in the long term...
Million Dollar Baby is a fantastic movie can't wait. But Godfather is the greatest movie ever.
Even though English is your third language I would say your English is Awesome! Myself, I only speak two languages: English and bad English. 😂
😂😂🤍
Its funny how many actors are in this who are also in the MCU. There are 7 in total with another added in an upcoming MCU film.
Surgical staples are a thing, they're often used after a C-section.
I know, I've worked in the field ☺️🤍
in the book and some deleted scenes in the movie they mention how if things go wrong like if the missed the supply rocket etc would only be enough food for one of them to survive the 900 days in space. which would be Johansen the pilot. even then everyone else would have to die including mark and she would have to eat them. Martinez made a joke after succeeding with the supply rocket who would you have eaten first I thought you liked mexican food.
I'm glad you enjoyed this one. I love the psychology of isolation that it explores. The science is very accurate, other than the wind storm which was exaggerated.
The storm was not exaggerated. But the wind pressure in the storm was definitely exaggerated. At 1% ATM pressure that storm would not have blown the dish or the MAV to that extent.
Also the Iron Man stunt. Puncturing one glove was much more likely to cause him to tumble uncontrollably in one place than it was to propel him the remaining distance he needed to travel.
Great movie and a great reaction too! 🥰 just a little surprised you don't know Sean Bean, he's a pretty well known actor, he played Boromir in The Lord of the Rings, and also a main role in Game of Thrones and much more.
You’re in for a treat! This movie is really good.
been watching a show that reminds me a lot fo this movie. For All Mankind. Its an alternative history of our space programs
This is an amazing book to read .. the comedy is belly splitting laugh out loud
Did you pick up when they were talking about the Lord of the Rings that Sean Bean played Boromir?
5:47 you were close to be fair!
Both Mars (the planet) and March are named after Mars, the Roman God of War😂
Don't be too harsh on Teddy. He may seem unfeeling, and may seem fake, but as the Head of NASA he's had to watch funding get stomped on for years, while the towns and cities surrounding Kennedy Space Center boarded up and turned into ghost towns. He unfortunately has to consider all of NASA, and specifically NASA's funding. Which politicians love to gut, because they rarely invest in projects where the Return on Interest is outside their term in office (because they can't campaign on it). So, he has to be ultra careful about bad news, bad image etc...
SpaceX helped turn that exodus of people around a bit, and with the private space industry picking up (Blue Origin, Relativity etc...), the area around KSC is a bit healthier now. But, not too long ago it was genuinely sad how empty all those areas were.
I highly recommend the book or audio-book. There are a lot more obstacles Mark has to overcome. The writer consulted scientists so the book is about as accurate as is possible from our understanding, the movie is pretty close.
Well, as Weir himself admits, the first storm (i.e. the only one we see in the film) is _massively_ exaggerated to provide a dramatic instigating incident.
In reality the atmospheric pressure on Mars is much too low for a storm like that.
(but yep, _after_ that, in the book at least, he took great pains to try to keep it realistic)
If you like Jessica Chastain I suggest “The Eyes of Tammy Faye”. She gives an absolutely stellar performance in it.
So great for Sean Bean to survive a whole movie, glad he wasn't on a spaceship
😂😂😂
