Then it cuts to Mark wondering why Aquaman can control whales since they're mammals.
      Next favorite had to be when they were sending a probe to Mark and someone asked if NASA was gonna send him any disco (Mark called it awful).

      whatwhen999 ino there was food IN the country (eg carrots other veg and fruit) and it was being shipped to England (for wealthy landlords) from ports in cork and Dublin while the Irish people starved to death. The British prime minister eventually sent I believe a type of corn but gave no instruction on how to cook it so the Irish ate it raw or cooked it improperly which made it inedible and finally a tribe in India actually sent the Irish food and supplies but before the food could get to the Irish guess who stole it. The British. therefore committing the largest genocide in Irish history but many people still call it a famine.

      But how much time does he really spend outside? Seems that the vast vast vast majority of his time is spent inside and a large chunk of that in a room with a dirt floor... Then you have to look at it as an average, and that day the room blew up is probably going to skew the average a bit higher.
      At any rate the point is moot since what was given was really a worst case scenario which was found to be pretty much harmless so anything that lowers exposure doesn't really change the conclusion.

    The "escape rocket" (for lack of a better term) wasn't being blown over by air molecules, it was being buffeted by soil particulates that would help to increase the density of the atmosphere hitting the rocket. The biggest danger in a sandstorm isn't the storm, it's the sand.

      +Willaev NSort of. You're being pelted with material that is half the weight it would be on Earth. And possibly also less material in general as the really thin and weak atmosphere (the Martian surface atmosphere is about 0.6-0-1% the density of Earth's) will not have the kind of power to carry as much debris.
      For the atmosphere alone, F=1ma > F=0.006ma. What's that going to do to the amount or size of debris a Martian wind can pick up?

      +Willaev Nope. Momentum of dust/wind is what is important (momentum equals velocity multiplied by mass) and though velocity is the same as on Earth due to lesser density the same volume of martian atmosphere has lesser mass thus momentum is much smaller. Gravity has nothing to do with it, it only adds vertical component of acceleration to any particle of air/dust.

      Cheese Boy
      I've got a friend who was in an airplane, when a pilot called the ground crew over to fix the wing. ground crew wrapped it in duct tape, and then the pilot took off. On the return trip a few months later on the same plane, he looked out the window and discovered that they had painted over the duct tape, and it was apparently intended to be a permanent fix.
      This was a carrier to Nepal, I think from India, BTW.

    There's one thing Matt forgot to factor in at the final part of the theory, Damon was in a space suit, thus making it so he can't inhale any of the dirt from the outside air, and though he would get some from the dirt and what was tracked in from the suit, it would be far less than what you calculated, he could get said sickness, yes, but it would take far longer, and be less likely/severe.

    • @Parzival-cd9ih
      @Parzival-cd9ih 9 лет назад +9

      The reason why he would be inhaling the dirt is that he had to plant the potatoes inside and in the movie it is just a section of the Hab (fancy name for his fancy NASA shelter). However in the book he actually had to cover the entire surface of the floor and the 5 other bunks of his crew ages and some lab tables to no matter where he went he was inhaling it. Also he was only using the helmets for working outside as he only had a limited amount of suit filters.
