Btw they have a global on the screen. Mars is not red. Yeah there's a lot if freitin there. Im a rocket scientist i watch the rover and ranger every week. Think I don't watch live footage. Nah kids best part of my life. And its not musky ass. He just is good at scamming government and being a creepy narssisist
M.a.p. I belive is mars asrto projectile. Been to long for me to remember. Been drunk for a week cause elections. And im hugging my dog. So typing sucks. Still im pretty good at what I do. I'll sober up and get to work in 3 days
Ok listened ahead. But I build rockets with math. Trigonometry apagie thrust distance weight gimble time. Waant just me that did that it was 135 people helping echother. I am very smart but there is no way a rocket would launch if not for my team just saying I can rival many people on things. Like I read and menoried the slimarillion the constitution not that long. Few other things like the recipe for kokovan and a fee hundred and personal recipes cause chef with a star
The simultaneous head tilt when Donald Glover shows up on screen made me laugh so hard. Experiencing this movie with you guys was awesome. Thanks for sharing.
there is a gym on the ISS in the present day. it helps with muscle and bone mass. they have weight lifting using elastic force (think elastic bands), a treadmill that holds you in place for running.
It is a necessity, otherwise they would come back with osteoporosis (weak bones) and heart problems (their hearts would stop having the strength for working in gravity).
The science in Andy Weir's book is pretty solid, though one exception is the idea that a Martian storm could tip over something as obviously massive as the MAV. The Martian atmosphere is so thin (which is why the "launch Watney into space under a tarp" is viable) the speed of the wind would have to be many hundreds of miles (or more kilometers) per hour (and of course, if that were true, there's no way they could send the MAV years in advance). They did a pretty good job converting the book to the movie, with (IMO) one major exception: the whole "iron man" thing. That makes me cringe every time. I mean, they have an MMU (Manned Maneuvering Unit) designed for an astronaut to move about in space!
I disagree, but respect where you're coming from. No book is ever exactly adapted from page to screen. Consider how in the movie he doesn't lose contact w/NASA and the dust storm navigation on the way to the MAV (and the flipping of the rover upon arrival) is nowhere to be seen. Throwing the Iron Man bit in there, and mentioning it as they did in the book as a nod to the source material, was Hollywood doing Hollywood things. For the movies, it worked. I liked it, and I liked the book version. What I REALLY liked was the coda they added to the movie's end, with Watney back on Earth as a professor/instructor. I think it added a lot to the story. In any event, I've said elsewhere: If Project Hail Mary (Andy Weir's next book-to-screen adaptation) is HALF as good an adaptation, it'll be twice as good a movie because the book was THAT damn good.
We have photos of Mars from the unmanned Pathfinder that launched in 1996, landed on Mars in 1997, and sent out a rover collecting data, analyzing samples, taking picture, etc. It lasted longer than they expected and ended operations in 1998. This film and the book it's based on is lauded by scientists for being reasonably probable.
Erika brought up a good point. A lot of what was depicted in the movie is not currently possible. But the great majority of it *could* be. And that's what makes for good science fiction rather than mere fantasy. BTW, a "Sol" on Mars is slightly longer than 24 hours, based on the planet's rotation period, so just a little more than an Earth day.
I believe I heard a famous astrophysicist say that the only bad science in the entire book is the storm at the beginning. Mars' atmosphere is too weak to support a storm severe enough to make them leave. BUT other than that it's supposed to be spot on. The movie does use the "iron man" solution at the end whereas the book mentions it but that's not how he's saved. So the movie only had that and the storm as scientific falsities.
Not an engineer, but a computer scientist. That being said, I believe his parents were both engineers for space related industries, if I remember correctly.
@@seekexplorewander While the book and movie are very realistic and mostly correct, there were other errors. For example, the stoichiometry of the explosion was not correct, among a few various other miscalculations.
As humans venture into space, we have to remember to bring our humanity with us. Risk it all for each other, no matter who it is. The only prejudice is what we take with us.❤
this movie is actually one of the most accurate space movies but NASA always uses this to help teach new astronauts by pointing out inaccuracies in this and other movies but the main one for this movie was the sandstorm on mars they don't really happen at least nothing like that the dirt on mars is basically as sharp as broke glass because it doesn't get weathered down
Fun fact, you can’t just turn around in space, especially when headed towards the sun like from Mars to earth. Once you leave the Martian orbit you would have to orbit the sun to get back there. The amount of people that watch this movie that don’t seem to understand this is mind blowing to me. This is like elementary school space stuff.
The problem is that it would take an impossible amount of fuel to stop their forward progress and turn around. The only way they managed to return in the movie was to revector their kinetic energy by the slingshot maneuver.
Yes .. unlike going for a drive across town to a physical location, when they left Mars orbit the trajectory they fly takes them to a position in space where the Earth is calculated to be at that time.
I dunno, genuinely not trying to start a fight but is it really _that_ surprising that most people don't understand orbital mechanics, delta-V etc. ? Most people don't think about this stuff _at all_ and "The Martian" is a popular _mainstream_ movie (i.e. though viewers may enjoy sci-fi movies, they're mostly _not_ "sci-fi fans" of the sort that are routinely exposed to these kinds of concepts let alone physicists, astronomers etc. - watched a _lot_ of reactions to this but not a one where they've read the book for instance).
The reason the Hermes crew weren’t more happy was that while he was still alive now, they realized he was all alone without enough food to last the years it would take to get him.
I had seen it when it came out, and I enjoyed your reaction video. I thought it was a very good movie when I first saw it and especially for most of it being all done as a monologue by one actor. It kept you focused and intrigued and involved all the way through. There was enough humor to break the tension, and enough tension to make it interesting. I have also read the book which inspired the movie.
It always amused me when people say, "Why dont they just go back and get him?" However, after hearing it over and over, it makes me a little sad that nobody understands how space travel currently works.
The only major "not possible" bit in the book (and the movie, far as I know) is that a storm like that isn't possible. The air is simply too thin, that even going 100 MPH or more, it just doesn't hit the same way. Andy Weir admitted that it was his only major fudge for the story.
Is there a lot of comedy? Yes. Do i think this movie is a comedy? No. Do i think the producers submitting it into the comedy catagory was a smart move to better their chances of winning awards? Absolutely
As a botanist he would have been aware that vertical or stacked container farming the most efficient for small scale potato growing. The Martian atmosphere too thin to cause "storm damage" or blow over the lander. The orbital interception at the end a bit ridiculous and silly. Great book and entertaining movie. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻⚡🥃🇿🇦
> "As a botanist he would have been aware that vertical or stacked container farming" Well... Being aware of something and being able to actually do it are, more than often, two very different things. You have to have the ressources to pull it off.
6:21 The Earth's atmosphere is about 21% oxygen. So long as it hovers around their you are fine. 40:12 Blowing up the door does not make for a precision manover. They have a computer to caluclate a correction for atmospheric lost.
One thing that people always seem to not understand is the crew CAN'T turn around to go back to Mars. Everyone always seems to think they can just stop the ship, turn it around, and blast back towards Mars like they're flying a spaceship from Star Wars The Hermes is travelling at insane speeds while hurtling back towards Earth, mostly carried by momentum. They can't just stop on a dime and go back without burning a ton of fuel to propel themselves backwards, which would then leave them ALL stuck on Mars since they have no method of refueling to leave the planet again
Re the mathematics, you need to watch the film ‘Hidden Figures’. It takes you through how they had to calculate everything manually for the Saturn rocket flights and the moon landing. It’s a great film…
The really prohibitive thing to get and to stay there right now are the cost of transport. Not so much how long it takes to get there. And SpaceX, currently, is on its trail to solve this very problem. Once you have a way to go there with an massive amount of ressources, it won't really be a walk in the park, but at least it will be doable. And just to put a scale to it: After the basic preparations of the landing area are done, they want to send waves with around 1,000 Starships each time a launch window opens. Because in order to get it functioning you have to do it this scale if you want to stay on Mars. Because you cannot quickly send an extra rocket for every additional engineer or even wrench you gonna need...
Nice. A really really good movie. Alas the book is much better... You two are fantastic. Really attentive and thoughtful observers. Currently making my way through your backlog of Severance. Cheers.
Just for the record, a day on Mars is called a SOL, and is just under 40 minutes LONGER than a day on Earth (39m35s to be exact), and because Mars orbits a lot slower than Earth, there will be a few days each year where communication with Mars (with any of the Rovers) is impossible because the SUN is in the way. 9:21 ... LOOK AT THE GROUND!! You can see the dirt absorbing the water from the outside in towards the center.
Yes, they have to work out on the space station. They have a running machine that they strap themselves down to. In space we loose bone density in huge way due to the lack of gravity acting on our bodies. So they have to exercise in order to reduce damage to their bodies. They also suffer from eye damage… anyone up there for long periods of time gets all sorts of problems. Much of the experiments they do is about the human body and the problems space living causes it because we want to go to Mars and that will take time. So we have to minimise damage. Esp given they want to put a station on the moon as a staging post.
A lot of the science in this movie is legit, with exceptions of course like the sand storm on Mars. The producers of the film actually consulted JPL on a lot of the science for this movie and during JPL's open house several years ago, they had booths and some of their staff talking about their involvement in making the movie. I would recommend the book the movie is based on by Andy Weir.
The Audio Book is best. The author (Andy Weir), researched and confirmed that most things were accurate. The only glaring fiction was the storm on Mars. In reality the atmosphere on Mars is so thin that the "storm" would not have presented any danger.
Fun Fact: The inciting incident of the movie, the storm that stranded Mark on Mars, is impossible to be as strong as it is on Mars since the atmosphere and air pressure on Mars is much thinner than Earth's. Thus a storm on Mars would feel more like a light breeze. This was the one complaint Neil deGrasse Tyson brought up to the author, Andy Weir but because literally everything else about the movie is incredibly scientifically accurate, Neil doesn't harp on it too much.
I got the Audiobook for my daily commute about a year before the movie came out. Excellent voice acting and way more of the story and loads of wisecracks and humor in it. Good story But the truth of the matter is Mars' atmosphere is approx 1% the density of Earth's and is mostly CO2. So the average persons Fart is more powerful than any wind on Mars. There can't be any Storm that powerful there. Other than that it's still a pretty good story. Yeah I still liked the movie regardless. Spoiler Alert! In the book, Mark did Not do the Iron Man thing, Martinez went and got Mark out of the MAV to bring him home.
As for the science: A 200 mph wind on Mars has the same force as a 1 mph wind on Earth- it would not push over a rocket. Martian 'soil' contains perchlorates which will destroy any crop. A hole in a space suit would not produce the thrust needed to move him the distance required. For a manned mission to Mars, I would send a team of robots to build a more substantial habitat and start a hydroponic farm for a variety of crops (grown before the astronauts get there). The habitat can be 3-d printed using Martian 'regalith' (soil).
The perchlorate problem isn’t insoluble, because perchlorates are soluble. If Andy Weir had known about them, he would have added a washing the regolith step to Watney’s soil prep.
@@donsample1002 Though of course they still might not have included it in the movie, which takes more liberties in general * spoilers for the book follow * . . . . . . . . Watney is never "Iron Man" in the book for instance - he suggests it but it gets dismissed for the reasons given - but I get it, in a movie starring Matt Damon it's arguably not great cinema to have Matt Damon just sitting there while the secondary cast fills all the active roles in the climax of the movie. (the storm is the biggie and that's all Weir, though he freely admits he just totally made it up because he needed an instigating incident :). In the book in fact it's arguably _worse_ because he has the big "unMartian" storm at the start and then _later_ has a more accurate "dusty sky" storm pose another threat to Watney - in other words the book arguably isn't consistent _with itself_ which at least the theatrical cut of the movie is)
@ One of the worst for me was the explanation for why his water maker blew up. In the context of the movie it makes no sense. In the book the explosion was after a long chain of events leading to a buildup of unburnt hydrogen in the hab.
Part of the discipline of being an astronaut is looking at a situation and coming up with a mission statement. The mission statement concerns the results you intend, worded in a compact way. Whatever you do, you fulfill the mission statement rather than violate its intended goal. Once you make a mission statement, it gives you something to focus on, to adhere to. No matter what happens, it gives you a piece of iron to hang onto, so nothing phases you; you just keep going, creating workarounds if you run into obstructions. I'm sad to see you edited out Watney early on stating out loud "I'm not gonna die here." THAT was Watney's mission statement.
One element of "a low chance of killing six people" isn't really true in the book. Unfortunately, and without spoiling anything, I don't think the contingency plan made it to the film (I haven't seen it). It would have been a hell of a scene.
15:27 ... that idiot Kapoor obviously never heard of the Mars overlay on Google Earth Pro. There's even some COMPUTER GAMES that reasonably accurately portray the Martian surface and locations.
As much as i love this movie, the book was better. A lot of the questions you were asking were answered in the book. Mark also has more and even worse problems in the book. It's worth the reaed.
They tried to pass him of as not just a brown guy but an Indian brown guy. What a shame. We literally are the biggest minority in NASA. Could've cast dev patel.
Are they the biggest minority in Hollywood? Maybe they tried to cast someone of indian descent, maybe Dev Patel passed, maybe they can't halt a movie production to search for the right fit for a side character that you think belongs to the one indian (british) actor you've heard of. Nick Mohammed, who is also in the movie, is of indian descent btw. Let me know when Bollywood stops being 99.9% indians only.
@@kavinsky2 Dev would've been a good cast, I didn't recommend him because that's the only Indian guy in Hollywood I know about. They could've cast donald glover's prior co star Danny Pudi for all I care. Casting is done a lot before shooting, specific amount of time is allotted for casting, why would they have to halt the movie production? Nick Mohammed's mother is from Cyprus and dad from Trinidad, he is far removed from India, If he is Indian then so was Freddy Mercury, I've never heard anyone say he was Indian. Bollywood casts white people as white people 100% of the times. If you can't grasp this simple concept. I don't know what to tell you. I'm not saying, give matt damon's character to an Indian. I'm saying give the Indian character to an Indian. Hollywood can make a black queen charlotte and a latin snow white but not a Indian kapoor? At least they can have similar names, there are no african american kapoors, in the whole world over. This is pure Indophobia, Hinduphobia. This is Hank Azeria as Appu all over again.
I dont disagree with your point, but Dev Patel(who i love and think should be in way more stuff btw) was way too young in 2015 to play a high level manager at NASA
@@srijandatta287 I also think Patel was too young, but they could have casted Irrfan Khan or Kal Penn. Penn would have been perfect for the nasa role given he has real world experience in the US government
The only thing comedy about this movie was the abuse of science and physics. Too numerous to list. The ending was silly. But it was a fairly good movie if you can get past that.

😅 Thanks for watching with us! Appreciate you.
Loved his role.
there is a gym on the ISS in the present day. it helps with muscle and bone mass. they have weight lifting using elastic force (think elastic bands), a treadmill that holds you in place for running.
It is a necessity, otherwise they would come back with osteoporosis (weak bones) and heart problems (their hearts would stop having the strength for working in gravity).
Wow, so cool. Good point about osteoporosis and heart problems!
The science in Andy Weir's book is pretty solid, though one exception is the idea that a Martian storm could tip over something as obviously massive as the MAV. The Martian atmosphere is so thin (which is why the "launch Watney into space under a tarp" is viable) the speed of the wind would have to be many hundreds of miles (or more kilometers) per hour (and of course, if that were true, there's no way they could send the MAV years in advance). They did a pretty good job converting the book to the movie, with (IMO) one major exception: the whole "iron man" thing. That makes me cringe every time. I mean, they have an MMU (Manned Maneuvering Unit) designed for an astronaut to move about in space!
That was dine for the people that like MCU better than real science.
I disagree, but respect where you're coming from. No book is ever exactly adapted from page to screen. Consider how in the movie he doesn't lose contact w/NASA and the dust storm navigation on the way to the MAV (and the flipping of the rover upon arrival) is nowhere to be seen.

In any event, I've said elsewhere: If Project Hail Mary (Andy Weir's next book-to-screen adaptation) is HALF as good an adaptation, it'll be twice as good a movie because the book was THAT damn good.
This is such a positive and uplifting great film!! Love this film!!
We have photos of Mars from the unmanned Pathfinder that launched in 1996, landed on Mars in 1997, and sent out a rover collecting data, analyzing samples, taking picture, etc. It lasted longer than they expected and ended operations in 1998. This film and the book it's based on is lauded by scientists for being reasonably probable.
Erika brought up a good point. A lot of what was depicted in the movie is not currently possible. But the great majority of it *could* be. And that's what makes for good science fiction rather than mere fantasy.

Everything in the book/movie is possible. The whole point was to make it as real as possible. All of the technology in the movie already exists.
The book this movie is base on is written by an engineer, the science and engineering in both are pretty spot on.

With optimal orbital timing, the trip is 8 months. That alignment happens about every two years. If not coordinated, it takes longer.

Book wise he does use the other bunks.
Fun fact: Donald Glover's trip and fall were real.
Haha that worked out!
Sol is a Martian day. About 24 hrs 39 1/2 minutes. The world was united in a similar fashion during the Apollo 13 mission.

Ah that's so awesome. Love it when film-makers do the work. Such an important part of the experience.
the foil around the rtg is to limit the amount of heat it releases, need it warmer unwrap more
The Audio Book is best. The author (Andy Weir), researched and confirmed that most things were accurate. The only glaring fiction was the storm on Mars. In reality the atmosphere on Mars is so thin that the "storm" would not have presented any danger.

Y'all need to watch Apollo 13 if you want to see an actual mission that happened with NASA bringing three stranded astronauts home.
Fun Fact:
The inciting incident of the movie, the storm that stranded Mark on Mars, is impossible to be as strong as it is on Mars since the atmosphere and air pressure on Mars is much thinner than Earth's.

In the book, Mark did Not do the Iron Man thing, Martinez went and got Mark out of the MAV to bring him home.
Guys, watch Matt Damon again in Saving Private Ryan & Bourne series. Awesome movies of him ❤.
As for the science: A 200 mph wind on Mars has the same force as a 1 mph wind on Earth- it would not push over a rocket. Martian 'soil' contains perchlorates which will destroy any crop. A hole in a space suit would not produce the thrust needed to move him the distance required.
For a manned mission to Mars, I would send a team of robots to build a more substantial habitat and start a hydroponic farm for a variety of crops (grown before the astronauts get there). The habitat can be 3-d printed using Martian 'regalith' (soil).
The perchlorate problem isn’t insoluble, because perchlorates are soluble. If Andy Weir had known about them, he would have added a washing the regolith step to Watney’s soil prep.
@@donsample1002 Though of course they still might not have included it in the movie, which takes more liberties in general * spoilers for the book follow *

Watney is never "Iron Man" in the book for instance - he suggests it but it gets dismissed for the reasons given - but I get it, in a movie starring Matt Damon it's arguably not great cinema to have Matt Damon just sitting there while the secondary cast fills all the active roles in the climax of the movie.
(the storm is the biggie and that's all Weir, though he freely admits he just totally made it up because he needed an instigating incident :). In the book in fact it's arguably _worse_ because he has the big "unMartian" storm at the start and then _later_ has a more accurate "dusty sky" storm pose another threat to Watney - in other words the book arguably isn't consistent _with itself_ which at least the theatrical cut of the movie is)
@ One of the worst for me was the explanation for why his water maker blew up. In the context of the movie it makes no sense. In the book the explosion was after a long chain of events leading to a buildup of unburnt hydrogen in the hab.
Pluto lies 4.67 billion miles away. We it a bull's eye getting there. I think we can do Mars. 😁
such a great film! ♥
Part of the discipline of being an astronaut is looking at a situation and coming up with a mission statement.
The mission statement concerns the results you intend, worded in a compact way. Whatever you do, you fulfill the mission statement rather than violate its intended goal.
Once you make a mission statement, it gives you something to focus on, to adhere to. No matter what happens, it gives you a piece of iron to hang onto, so nothing phases you; you just keep going, creating workarounds if you run into obstructions.
I'm sad to see you edited out Watney early on stating out loud "I'm not gonna die here."
THAT was Watney's mission statement.
One element of "a low chance of killing six people" isn't really true in the book. Unfortunately, and without spoiling anything, I don't think the contingency plan made it to the film (I haven't seen it). It would have been a hell of a scene.
15:27 ... that idiot Kapoor obviously never heard of the Mars overlay on Google Earth Pro. There's even some COMPUTER GAMES that reasonably accurately portray the Martian surface and locations.
I would not have made it past the initial injury.
lol me neither
You guys removed A LOT of the movie though
It is not mars this movie wd filmed in Jordan and Hungary
As much as i love this movie, the book was better. A lot of the questions you were asking were answered in the book. Mark also has more and even worse problems in the book. It's worth the reaed.
nice movie based on a boring book.mat damon 👍👍👍👍
Did you see that the computer woman had a baby with the crew member, or are you the kind of person who turns off the credits?
Or maybe they did see it, but due to keeping it within UA-cam's copyright system rules, it was cut.
They tried to pass him of as not just a brown guy but an Indian brown guy. What a shame. We literally are the biggest minority in NASA. Could've cast dev patel.
Are they the biggest minority in Hollywood? Maybe they tried to cast someone of indian descent, maybe Dev Patel passed, maybe they can't halt a movie production to search for the right fit for a side character that you think belongs to the one indian (british) actor you've heard of.
Nick Mohammed, who is also in the movie, is of indian descent btw. Let me know when Bollywood stops being 99.9% indians only.
@@kavinsky2 Dev would've been a good cast, I didn't recommend him because that's the only Indian guy in Hollywood I know about. They could've cast donald glover's prior co star Danny Pudi for all I care. Casting is done a lot before shooting, specific amount of time is allotted for casting, why would they have to halt the movie production? Nick Mohammed's mother is from Cyprus and dad from Trinidad, he is far removed from India, If he is Indian then so was Freddy Mercury, I've never heard anyone say he was Indian. Bollywood casts white people as white people 100% of the times. If you can't grasp this simple concept. I don't know what to tell you. I'm not saying, give matt damon's character to an Indian. I'm saying give the Indian character to an Indian. Hollywood can make a black queen charlotte and a latin snow white but not a Indian kapoor? At least they can have similar names, there are no african american kapoors, in the whole world over. This is pure Indophobia, Hinduphobia. This is Hank Azeria as Appu all over again.
I dont disagree with your point, but Dev Patel(who i love and think should be in way more stuff btw) was way too young in 2015 to play a high level manager at NASA
@@Simonsays90 sure, that's your perspective. Totally respect that.
@@srijandatta287 I also think Patel was too young, but they could have casted Irrfan Khan or Kal Penn. Penn would have been perfect for the nasa role given he has real world experience in the US government
8000 plus hours of realistic simulations of spaceflight for the last 70 years & 3000 pages of operation manuals and theories later, it's pretty close.
The only thing comedy about this movie was the abuse of science and physics. Too numerous to list. The ending was silly. But it was a fairly good movie if you can get past that.
I don't think of this as a comedy.
Definitely has its funny moments. But I agree. I wouldn't call it that either.
👎 reaction sucks,, to much talking and silly questions, watch the movie, keep quiet and give your thoughts after
I'll give the common response here: if you want to watch a movie in silence, watch it on your own. Thanks for giving us a shot though!
