How should we call the Space Rover ? I will go with Rovie haha
Fine I'll go with Spacey... Haha
Spot
Jinxy
first thought so dont judge :)
In the book, he refers to the rover as a dog. As in “good boy, Rover!”
@@Xtremez350 This one is cute
Every time biss laughs like “hehehehehe” is so adorable.
agreed. She has the cutest laugh.
agreed. i love her♥️
Absolutely.
You're not a creep
This comment is cringe
6:37 - *“It just sends me back to, like, **_Interstellar,_** because Matt Damon was in that movie as well.”*
In fact, Matt Damon was initially sceptical about taking the role, because he had _just_ finished filming a movie, where he played a character who is all alone on a planet, and he felt that it would come across as a little repetitive to audiences. But he was assured that, apart from this one similarity, they were two _very_ different roles, so he signed on for this.
7:19 - *“I wonder if, like, astronauts in general are trained in, like medicine and all of this kind of stuff.”*
Yes, they are. All Astronauts, even the ones that aren't officially designated as medics have medical training and even do medical rotations in real hospitals to gain experience. To qualify as an astronaut, you basically have to be a top athlete _and_ an engineer _and_ a medic _and_ lots of other professions, all on top of your ostensible specialisation (like Botany in Mark Watney's case).
8:28 - *“The thing is now, can he communicate to Earth from this little base thingie?”*
Unfortunately, no. Of the two redundant communication systems he used to have, one had its parabolic dish ripped off in the storm - which is, in fact, what hit him - and the other was in the MAV, which kinda _left the planet_ with the rest of his crew.
9:03 - _"It's gonna be four years until a manned mission can reach me."_ - *“Through the distance.”*
Yes, but not _just_ the distance. The travel time from Earth to Mars is "only" a couple of months, but you can't do it whenever you like. It can only be done when Earth and Mars are in the right position, relative to each other (specifically when Mars is still a bit behind Earth and about to overtake it). You have to wait for that position (called the Hohmann transfer window, which they mention later in the movie) before you can start.
Additionally, at the time this takes place, Earth has only _one single_ ship that can make the Journey, namely the _Hermes,_ which is still en route back to Earth for the next few months and will need to be inspected, repaired, and refuelled, before it can start on the _Ares Ⅳ_ mission. That specific, already planned and scheduled mission is what Mark is referring to when he talks about "four years until the next manned mission."
11:35 - *“ ‘Do not open until…’? Something.”*
"…Thanksgiving." Because the _Ares Ⅲ_ mission happened to coincide with the date of the American Thanksgiving, NASA sent some ingredients along, so that the crew could cook a "real" Thanksgiving dinner, as a morale-boosting exercise. This included a bunch of raw potatoes, which became Mark's salvation.
13:39 - *“Man, I did my fair share of farming, I'll have to admit.”*
The movie kinda skips over an important step in building the farm that was detailed in the book. The problem is that Mars "soil" is _dead._ It's not just a lack of nutrients that you can balance out with fertiliser - It's a complete lack of the vitally necessary soil bacteria. Plants _need_ them as part of their nutrient and mineral exchange with the soil, but here on Earth you almost never have to think about them, because they're almost _everywhere._ Unless a patch of ground has been chemically poisoned or irradiated, there's soil bacteria around aplenty - but not on Mars.
Mark has a small sample of living Earth soil, because one of the botanical experiments he was supposed to do on this mission was to try and "infect" the Martian dust/sand with these bacteria to see whether it can be made viable for planting (This is similar to what desert reclamation projects do here on Earth). Now it's not only vitally important that this experiment succeeds, he had to do it on a much, _much_ more massive scale than was planned.
18:49 - *“Can they turn?”*
Unfortunately, no. Even with the (currently purely theoretical) ion engine of the _Hermes,_ space travel is still subject to orbital mechanics. Once the _Hermes_ broke out of its Mars orbit and went on a trajectory back to Earth, they were irrevocably committed to it. They could no more turn around and return to Mars than a parachutist can change his mind halfway through a jump, pull his chute back into the backpack and fly back up to the plane.
The kind of spaceship drives that we see in _Star Wars_ and _Star Trek_ - which are so incredibly powerful that they can just skip over orbital mechanics and power through to any point in the solar system on brute strength alone - are not even _theoretically_ possible at the moment. Unless we somehow discover a whole new set of physics that's currently unknown, there is nothing in the universe known to science that can produce _that_ amount of energy but is still small enough and _safe_ enough to build into a spaceship.
23:21 - *“He's a smartass. I like a smartass.”*
Yeah, this film is a great example of what a screenwriter (in a different context) once called "competence porn". People _enjoy_ watching smart, competent people at the top of their game tackle problems and deal with complications and set-backs intelligently. There is _no_ need for a hackneyed villain or sudden plot twist to be shoehorned into the plot - which, sadly, will come as a complete surprise to many Hollywood writers.
🤓
About "can they turn" point:
Ion engines are not theoretical; they are very much real, and have been used on several spacecrafs. The engine on Hermes would have to be a lot bigger, but that's purely a technical problem. What they don't mention (explicitly) in the movie is that they use a nuclear reactor to power the engine (existing probes with ion drives use solar power). A nuclear reactur suitable for a spacecraft hasn't been invented yes, but I think it's largely due to no real attempt at doing that; if you can make one for a submarine, you can make one for a spacecraft.
I'd say engines powerful to (mostly) ignore orbital mechanics *are* _theoretically_ possible. I'm not talking about hyperspace drives and stuff like that - they are science fiction - but just about pure power. You could make a fusion-powered spaceship; you could make a system or lasers and mirrors around the solar system; you could even use regular chemical fuel, if you make the ship be 99.99999999% fuel.
No shit sherlock
Sweet info my friend, thanks :] I wish they explained the soil thing in the movie, some people assume it's a plot hole (not me I know the book is scientifically accurate)
"I'm sorry if I sound like a nerd guys .." ... seriously? I simply LOVE that you are so quick minded. Gosh .. at least doubles your cute factor! :)
This movie's never say die and never give up is a part of what helped me survive my daughter's cancer diagnosis at the age of 23. The tumor on her liver was so large that they were not sure that there would be enough good liver left for her to survive. She made it through that. And then a year later it came back. Another grueling surgery and recovery. She made it through that. And then just before Christmas we were driving the 500 miles home together and she got the call that it was back again. This was less than 4 month since the last surgery. Another grueling surgery to find out that they were wrong and there was nothing bad there after all. The last two surgeries were during the Covid19 lockdowns. I had tie drop her 8ff at type hospital and not see her again until she was released. And then the internal stitches did not dissolve like they should have but I stead were poking through her skin and required a 4th surgery to remove them. A plastic surgeon was called in to clean up the scar tissue that was so bad after 3 surgeries in so short a time. But now she has had clean scans for over two years. It may still come back. But she fought through the Iain and desperation and made it this far. And her team did almost everything right. And she would have never had the chance for surgery at all if not for an alert urgent care doctor that felt a lump in her abdomen and immediately sent her to the ED. Like Mark in this movie, her odds seemed impossible many times but she and her team never gave up. And she got to come home.
Wow.
Congratulations to all of you, family and medical teams.
Amazing. Continued luck and best wishes to you and your strong daughter. God Bless 🙏
Absolutely incredible! Please pass along my congratulations from a random internet stranger to your daughter and family. I hope you sent her medical team a gift basket or something. What an amazing turnaround!
In the novel, it is made clear that Mark's sense of humor is one of the ways he stays alive. The "ship" at the Ares 4 site is a MAV (Mars Ascent Vehicle) whose sole purpose is to get the crew back into space after their mission. It has no food or other supplies, but it *does* have a voice communication device.
It's not that the movie is bad but the format of a book makes more sense for this story.
Bingo! @@petercofrancesco9812 - The Audio book is especially good with RC Bray as narrator... ruclips.net/p/PLs3piN-EviuSMA03G_7kG2qWenk5PazT5
Mars Pathfinder was a real project. It was the first time a rover (Sojourner) landed on Mars and Pathfinder was the vehicle that carried the whole works to Mars and was the signal relay back to Earth. It was also the first time JPL used a commercial operating system for a space mission (Wind River's vxWorks). I was working for Wind River at the time. Because JPL forgot to turn on a control bit in memory when it was launched (and took unplanned pictures of asteroids on the way to Mars) the lander started having memory and timing problems. We had to engineer a way to flip that memory bit from Earth to salvage the mission. The power words for today, children, are process priority inversion.
Hi Miss Biss, sorry to hear you are sick again.☹Matt Damon celebrated his 44th birthday just before filming began on this picture.😉That actress is Jessica Chastain, Bisscute. She was also in "Interstellar" as the grown up version of Murph on Earth. Vicodin is a prescription drug for severe pain. The actor Sean Bean (Plays golf at end) was actually in "Lord of the Rings" as Boromir, when they discuss the code name.😄A day on Mars is slightly longer than on Earth. One SOL = 1 day and 37 minutes. Great reactions for this film, Bisscute!!!🎬👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽I hope you feel better!🙏🏽
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.)
Only just now, after having read and seen this several times, does it occur to me that Mark should have eaten his hair and finger/toe nails. That's all concentrated protein.
@@jean-paulaudette9246 Well yes, it's protein, but it's _too_ tightly packed, it won't digest and even if it did it would yield no energy. It's true that you need building blocks, proteins, to make yourself but what really kills a starving man is the lack of energy ingested. Potatoes are good because our digestion can extract the energy from starch easily enough.
After a second's thought, I'll say you're right, _but_ he should do it through his farm. Throw all of the biomatter that his body excretes or sheds into the dirt, so his taters can eat it and he'll eat the taters. Some percentage of that vaunted energy content is going to get lost by adding a link in the food chain, but since it's food that his digestion isn't eating in the first place, it's a net gain for him.
In general in survival situations, if you're forced to sustain yourself on something that your body got rid of, it's better to recycle it by feeding it to something else and then eat that thing later, than to put it straight in your own digestive tract. This is infinitely more important if you're forced to sustain yourself on something that comes out of someone else's body.
@@lassesipila6418 I vaguely remember that the book handwaved the vitamin and protein situation away, saying that NASA had _massively_ overstocked the mission with supplement pills for those things, so that Mark _only_ needed a source of raw calories and nothing else.
awesome book, also listened to the audibook which is fantastic as well for those that dont have time to read it
Which could be easily overlooked if not for the thin atmosphere then being necessary for the tarp-nosed rocket to make sense.
The problem with orbital mechanics, is The fuel needed to "Go back". The Delta-V needed for an Earth - Mars transfer is 2.9 Kilometers a second. To go back, you need to cancel your momentum, and then speed up to go back the way you came. Then, Mars wont be there when you get back because it is in otbit of the sun and left the area, not to mention, Fuel has mass, thus has weight.
this is why in the film, they have the hermes use Earth as a Slingshot to speed the Hermes back up and re-orient their trajectory so that the Hermes will arrive at a point, where Mars *WILL BE* when it arrives. Also they resupply and refuel the Hermes as it passes by Earth.
That is the whole point of Interplanetary travel (Earth to Mars) is that you point your ship and fire your engines at a trajectory so that when they arrive in say 6 months, Mars will have arrived at the same point in space. Then you fire your engines to slow down to enter orbit.
You know how fast mars is moving in space, You know how fast your ship is, and the estimated time to get to Mars's orbit, you can plot where mars will be in said 6 months so your ship meets the planet where it will be when the ship arrives.
The one who told them Mark was alive, played by Sean Bean, who played Boromir in _Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring_ so 'Project Elrond_ was really funny.
When Sean Bean said "Because it's a secret meeting," I absolutely lost it 🤣🤣🤣
And he didn't even die this time.
Vicodin is a prescription pain medication that can be addictive.
Court-martial is a military trial. If a soldier does something illegal or possibly illegal (like disobeying a commanding officer in such a way that endangers several other people, even if it was so save someone else), the soldier gets hauled in front of a military court instead of a regular one, where different (usually stricter) laws apply.
They can't just turn the ship around because planets are not fixed points in space. They're moving. So they would set the missions and timings such that the planets are aligned correctly for minimal flight distance and time. So the space craft isn't heading towards earth, but where earth will be. Meanwhile Mars is actually traveling away from the ship. So they would have to reverse a lot of momentum then not only regain that momentum, but much much more to outrace the planet. They would not have near enough fuel for that. When they get a grav boost from circling earth, they don't do a complete 180. They would come off at another angle, aiming to go to where mars will be, not where it was.
but more importantly, they only brought so much fuel and supplies
In addition to being just a plain good movie, I think we have to acknowledge that this is one of the few movies where Sean Bean doesn't die.😂
but his careeer did :p
The concept of pirates in space is a common theme in many science fiction works. So it amuses Mark to refer to himself as being a Space Pirate as well.
Hope you feel better soon and thank you for yet another great reaction to a great movie! 😊
By the technical definition of pirate under Maritime Law(which is basically an international law.. basically).
All space vessels are considered "ships" so he stole a ship.
@@robertcampomizzi7988 In the book, Mark loses contact with Earth, again. It's conceivable that they'd given him the plan to go to the Ares4 MAV, without ever saying, in so many words, 'and then you board it and turn it on.'
The movie keeps the piracy joke even though it makes no sense, since Mark is in communication with Earth all the way, and has permission for everything he does.
The movie is a masterpiece and the book from a first time writer is hard to put down.
The hexadecimal system is like our standard decimal one, but with a base of 16 instead of 10. The six extra numbers are represented with the letters A to F, so A would be 10, B is 11 and so forth. Hex is often used in computer programming, as it's easy to convert between hexadecimal and binary values (ones and zeroes, which is what computers use).
I loved the extended cut, during Mark’s first communication with NASA, when he finds out the crew hasn’t been told yet, and he calls the director a political felcher. 😂
As a note: you may want to keep an eye on Project: Hail Mary. Both The Martian and Project: Hail Mary are written by Andy Weir - a sci-fi writer who cares about the details. The books are excellent and his best work is likely Project: Hail Mary. It is also being adapted into a movie!
Project Hail Mary is my favourite Andy Weir book, The Martian is definitely a close second, and Artemis was... meh.
I read the book prior to the movie. They had to take some shortcuts in the movie from the book to keep it moving, but still, it was really well done. Matt Damon was the perfect choice for Mark Watney. If you like the movie, I highly recommend reading the book. It has some great details and plot lines that the movie misses, but you can't help but read it in Matt Damon's voice.
I wish they had been able to do the whole dust storm thing. That was a pretty cool ingenius way to figure it out...but then they'd have to explain why pathfinder wasn't working
to answer your question about how they filmed the actors floating, you basically take a large plane and fly up the highest point it can reach, then you nose dive towards the ground, this gives you about 25 seconds of weightlessness before the plane has to correct it's course. They then gain altitude again and repeat. These flights last typically about 2-3 hours. The name for these flights is a Vomit Comet.
Basically, but you can get a longer weightless period than by starting from the top:
Fly up and over the top along a parabolic arc, adjusting your speed to match what a free-falling body would do in the absence of air resistance. Then do a quick, hard pull-out, and go up again.
One of my favorite novels turned into one of my favorite movies. It’s one of those rare instances where the film lived up to the book, both are great. Read it or listen to the audiobook, I think you’ll love it if you enjoyed the movie this much.
I think the word you’re looking for is “sprout.” At least, that’s what I’d call a baby green plant pushing its way up out of the ground.
To answer a question about turning around, yes, the crew could slow down Hermes enough to go back and get Mark, but that presents another problem. The way the mission is designed is for the Hermes to spend about half of its journey from Mars back to Earth accelerating, then the other half slowing down. By the time they realized Mark was alive, about a month and a half had past. That means they’d have to spend as much time slowing down as they spent getting up to speed, and then that same time again accelerating back towards Mars. The ship could do that, but the crew wouldn’t have enough food to survive while the slow down and change in direction took place. They’d all starve to death before getting all six of them back to Earth, so it’s not a great solution. Also, Mark wouldn’t have a way to get to the Ares 4 site and modify the MAV there in that short a time table… especially since at that point in the story, they had no way to communicate such a plan to him. Hermes doesn’t have a ship to land and get him with. The problem only gets worse the longer they don’t have a plan, Rich Purnell’s math is complex and took a while to find, not the way the missions usually go.
Vicodin is a very powerful narcotic pain killer. If offered, do not add it to potatoes…unless you’re trapped on Mars, you only have potatoes to eat, and no ketchup. Aside from that edge case, it’s a bad idea.
The ship he disassembles is empty, it has no food, oxygen, life support… all it’s doing there is sitting there and making fuel for when Ares 4 needs to leave Mars. Sending extra weight in food would be unnecessary if there aren’t any humans planned to be there for years.
One of the things I love about this adaptation is that it found ways to improve on a few points that were weaker in the book -
For example, The movie has an arguably better ending than the book does, since the book ends abruptly with the rescue and the movie gives you some resolution and epilogue for the characters.
While at the same time, the book is able to focus more fully on the science thanks to not being subject to the pacing of a movie. (my only real pet peeve with the movie is that the space pirate joke doesn’t really work without mark accidentally frying pathfinder)
I firmly believe that no matter which one you experience first, either the book or the movie will enhance the enjoyment of the other
You're also assuming that they have enough _fuel_ for a direct instead of free-return trajectory back to Mars. There are _lots_ of reasons why just turning around was never an option.
Personally I rate this movie five stars cuz it's well directed. Ridley Scott who also directed other movies including Gladiator and Alien is one of my favorite directors. One of the clever things this movie does is that it uses humor to make the science stuff in the movie more digestible for most viewers. I think the movie was a lot of fun and I look forward to other movies directed by Ridley.
The other really important thing the humour does is to give a bit of moderation to the drama of the plot. If it had been played completely seriously, with no humour at all, it would be so incredibly harrowing that it'd turn a lot of people off.
The audiobook of this might be my favourite voice performance I've ever heard.
The humour and superb writing are at an even higher level. Well worth your time.
It is certainly a good audiobook.
RC Bray is absolutely the best narrator on Audible. If you haven't listened to it, listen to the Expeditionary Force series by Craig Alanson, narrated by Bray. If you liked The Martian, you'll love ExForce
I don't know why I like reaction videos, but I do, and yours so far have been the best. You're super analytical and quick to pick up on what the movies are saying, which I feel like a lot of other reaction channels don't have. It's almost like having a conversation with you about the movie, and I really like that. Great stuff!
Aww thank you so much, happy you loved the reaction
Biss watch Rush plz 👐🏼❤🇧🇷 its based on a true story
Another movie suggestions:
- Lone Survivor (true story)
- Baby Driver
- Pearl Harbor (true story)
- Ford V Ferrari (true story)
- American Sniper (true story)
- Zero Dark Thirty (true story)
- Creed Trilogy
- Shooter
In less than 5 minutes of watching this… I was already looking for d subscribe button.
Your perception and your attention to details make me wanna rewatch this movie again. Never mind… I am rewatching this movie with your reaction now. Will definitely watch more of your reactions.
I don't think you have to excuse yourself for being "nerdy" (I say better "intelligent"). You are who you are, you know what you know, and we all are watching you because we like your content. Espero te sientas mejor pronto. 🙂
The reason Mark has to travel to meet the crew is because he is going to the Ares 4 landing site where their MAV (Mars Ascent Vehicle, which he will use to launch into orbit) has already been sent to years earlier. Its explained in the novel that most supplies for future missions are sent in advance to keep the weight down when they send the astronauts. Obviously Marks crew took their MAV with them when they launched at the start of the film leaving Mark behind so he has no way to get into orbit from his own site.
I'd add to this that because the next mission is 5 years away they haven't sent the supplies yet for that mission, just the MAV, hence why there aren't supplies at this site as well. It's not very well explained, and if this isn't the case then I guess it is too far to go and get the supplies, had back to his base and wait it out. Besides, by the time this plays out the Ares 3 is already on its way back to rendezvous so there is no time anyway so he doesn't need them.
Jessica Chastain is probably the actress you recognize, she played adult Murph in Interstellar.
Martian storms are noway near as deadly as the one in the movie. Mars atmosphere is 1% of Earth's in pressure, at most. Martian tornadoes don't have more consistance than cigarette smoke. However, the dust they carry tan render solar panels useless... so you better have something to clean them up or another power source like nuclear reactors.
Sol is the day on Mars, which lasts 47 more minutes than an Earth day.
for solar panels to be added to the rover, it should have been designed for this. You can't just plug solar panels and hope it will work, the batteries assembly must be vired for that. A proper rover would have an emergency power source, likely a solar panel from the design phase. RTG work fine on their own although they don't provide a great output, it lasts for long but decays over time. (the 70s Voyager probe stlll send data thanks to their RTGs but they won't last past 2026 at most, over 50 years, not bad though...)
Martian soil is too toxic to make Earth plants grow.
In 1997 the first rover arrived on Mars: Sojourner, was brang on the Pathfinder lander to protect it from the atmospheric reentry and space travel.
You have Nasa web site for space mission reports and pictures. It's free.
Serra? Greenhouse you mean.
Turning around in space would require a lot of fuel. Something a spacecraft cannot afford; So what they can do is use Earth to change course, spends little fuel butrequires time. That's called gravity assist.
Vicodin is a painkiller and also addictive...
Floating in space can be reproduced in an airplane with a repeating parabolic flight path. It takes an awful lot ot time (each parabol lasts about 30 seconds... so you will need a lot of them to film everything).
Remember that the first man EVAing in space, Alexei Leonov opened his suit vavle to make it smaller so he could actually get back inside his craft...
If you like space things, Apollo 13 is for you, unless you have already done it.
"Don't mind me" 😂😂😂😂😂😂
I just discovered your channel yesterday and I've already watched 3 full reaction videos! Your questions are inquisitive, you commentary is hella blunt, smart and very insightful. I'm a fan Biss!
The Martian really is a comedy. It even won two Golden Globe Awards in the categories "Best Movie Comedy or Musical" and "Best Lead Actor in Comedy or Musical" in 2016. So, it must be a comedy. 😂
♥ this movie! Fellow dancing fool here! Yer so adorkable! Fellow geek girl here! Movie is just so re-watchable! Great cast!
Her laugh is incredibly adorable. Love it!! 🥰🥰
Great reaction as always, Bisscute. Hope you feel better soon. 👍✌❤
I'm so happy to see you react to this movie! It's definitely one of my favorite Matt Damon movies (besides the Bourne series). Great reaction!!
56:45 Bisscute says "It's a Sticky Bomb", well said. You remembered from "Saving Private Ryan"!!
Sorry to hear you're a bit sick Bisscute, but fun reaction.
Such a good movie. I really like that they used actual science, attention to detail and kept the story as realistic as possible. The humor is great, but also has very touching moments.
I love your accent. I could listen to you talk all day.
I liked your reaction.... you are cleverer than most who viewed the movie... you had good insights!! Nice one!
Biss is genuine,my favorite reaction person❤..she's fun,smart and honest.
Based of the novel and the book goes into even MORE scientific detail on Mark's fictional survival. Listened to the audiobook on RUclips LOOONG ago.
You just got a sub! Definitely loved this reaction
Just watched your Hacksaw Ridge reaction and decided to take a look at your channel. Saw this video just posted, took it as a sign to subscribe! One of my favorite movies of all time!
This is a refreshing reaction. I appreciate your perspective. And you did pronounce 'Martian' correctly, so no worries there. Hope you are feeling better. Nasty head colds going around. I'm still struggling with mine.
I love watching movies with you! This is a great film. Hope you feel better soon.
You would love Apollo 13 with Tom Hanks.
Very Cool Movie and Very Fun Reaction Biss !!! Great Job, Keep it Up
The comment about "when he goes back to Earth he's never going to have potatoes again" was great. Did not think of that watching the movie
Enjoyed the reaction as usual, Rovie has my vote. To a speedy get well soon Biss.
7:19 - I'm pretty sure that astronaut crews are cross trained in many things and that basic first aid... and probably some more advanced first aid related to space travel is taught to all.
That's one of my most favorite movies. It's based on a book my Endi Weir. And book is even better. They go into details explaining all the problem solving and decision making Mark was doing to survive. Loved your reaction, with all the attention to the "nerd" stuff. And it's great that you laugh and thing, as it's supposed to be funny. Book has lots of jokes like that as well.
Literally one of my favorite movies ever.
Yeah you can't just turn a spacecraft like that around in space without a ridiculous amount of fuel, so no they couldn't just return. Donald Glover's character did the calculations and figured out that they could use Earth to turn around effectively.
Unrelated: Try Lost in Translation, Almost Famous, or Attack the Block
such a great evening thanks at the movies with pals
Thank you! I loved rewatching this with ya. I love this film. The book is really good too. Feels just like the movie but longer and a slightly different path. I bought the book on Google books. So its always on my phone. I got to read it when ever I got stuck somewhere waiting, doctors, govt lines, etc.
😀
"IKEA, not bad" made me laugh, nice reaction again
I luv your laff bliss! Cant wait till you watch a comedy! Lol Great reaction and i hope you feel better soon!😷💚
I love your movie reactions!
Gravity, the Martian, and Interstellar are my favorite space/Science movies.
This movie is my go-to when ever i feeling bad. I rewatched it several times and it every time works and makes me fell good. You can also read the book. There is more detailed description of the problems and its solutions.
Min: 24:45 "Pathfinder" - i remember the pathfinder mission. In 1996, when i was only 14 yrs old, my mother, my brother and i watched it live on CNN and i recorded it on VHS. I was so damn fascinated when the first images showed up. I can still remember it very clearly. Yeah Science!
I did fall in love with Matt Damon watching this movie, and im a guy!! great movie Matt really pull hes charecter and the movie up..
Microorganisms were missing in his farm. Poop is a great fertilizer, but plants rely on the decay of organic material. They also rely on minerals.
you are the best!!! so great emotions) hahaaha I love!!
Your laugh is so adorable I love it ^_^
this story was one of my favorite books of the last few years. I'm so happy that the movie turned out so well. well done all around.
I enjoyed the book "Project Hail Mary" too, by the same author.
@@7Rendar also great
Could be a little trickier but with a competent director and a little bit of a budget for CGI I feel it too could make an awesome movie.
36:58 Precession is a wobble essentially like a spinning top. " Precession is a change in the orientation of the rotational axis of a rotating body."
I think the earths precession is 26,000 years (i think)
I've watched many reactions to this movie, and you're the first, and the first one to even make me think of it...rename Mars as Mark! lol
Brilliant movie, and I love your reaction to it!
I read somewhere that the only thing wrong in the movie is the storm in the beginning of the movie. A storm at Mars would not be anything you'd notice, even. The air is so thin. A storm would feel just like a gentle little summer wind.
And also the Iron Man thing at the end, that would be very very hard to control. So his chances of actually meeting up with his rescue doing that, would be very very small. But not totally wrong, I guess.
The team that’s already in the air can’t go back because they are not driving on a road. They are >falling< towards Earth. “Hey, you left something in the plane you jumped out of.”
“No problem, let me just turn around and fall back up.”
Yeah, biss laughter is the best. She really is so cute!
As good as the movie is, and I have seen it many times, a lot of the questions you have (like whether he had basic medical training) are answered in the book. Definitely read the book, maybe several times. Also, in the book, Mark has to deal with even more problems.
Hey Biss.
Great Reaction!👍
I read the book twice and have the DVD. Yes, you are beautiful, but you are a nerd. Nerdiness is not a bad thing, same as me with a degree in Physics and Chemistry. Enjoyed the way you analyzed the storyline and had a good grasp of the technical aspects of what was going on.
BTW - Never cut your lovely hair.
Love from Texas. ❤
Nothing wrong with being a nerd, says another nerd in Texas. My degree is in Physics, specializing in astronomy. I loved this movie, and the book, too. 😂
1:00:51 Great touch having Love Train by the O’Jays be the outro music.
If we ever make it to Mars or beyond, I hope we do it together as a series of multinational efforts.
Reactors often ask why the Hermes doesn't turn around, but we can't turn a spaceship around mid-flight like that. In order to get a vehicle to change speed - either to speed up or slow down - the vehicle needs to be able to push against something. The wheels on your car push against the ground when you accelerate or brake. A space ship, at launch from Earth or Mars, pushes against the air in the atmosphere. In space, there's nothing to push against. You CAN still change speed in space, but you basically have to do it by having the space ship "push" against its own fuel. It's incredibly inefficient and difficult. That's why the Hermes crew has to blow a hole in the ship to slow down - even just slowing down enough to catch Mark would take more fuel than they have. That's how difficult it is to change speed in space. They can only turn around using the gravity assist. With a gravity assist, the ship doesn't have to use its own fuel to change speed; it can just keep its current speed and use Earth's gravity to "swing" itself around. But it needs a planet to use for the assist - they have to reach Earth and use it to turn around. They can't turn around before that.
46:37 so as Mark explained, there is a treatise that states that “No country can claim control of any land on other planetary bodies.” This was brought in to stop countries claiming the moon as their own.
Secondly, there is another treatise that states “Any location not controlled by a country must be classed as ‘International Waters’”. That means it belongs to no one.
Using these, he claims that, as Mars is international waters, taking over a vehicle without permission would be classed as piracy.
Therefore he is a pirate, in space.
Therefore Space Pirate.
As for replanting, the extreme cold of the Martian atmosphere sterilized the soil he had made. Even the dead plant matter from the frozen potato plants has no bacteria to break it down in to food for more crops. His waste would offer far too little bacteria to restart the process for crops.
Bisscute's got some bass in her laugh....and it's the best.
If you go back and watch the beginning carefully , it turns out the commander made all the correct decisions. If she didn’t call a scrub, the MAV would have tipped. If she didn’t launch, the pressure could have increased beyond saving the MAV. Mark couldnt have survived decompression that long, and everyone would have died being stranded from a MAV with either not enough fuel, or tipped.
Other movies like this are "Gravity" and "Apollo 13" and "The Right Stuff" all are equally great!
Loved this film! Try out Apollo 13-the TRUE story of a mission to the moon (with problems)🚀
The writers of the movie took the idea of Mark Whatney as a space pirate directly from the book, which tells a slightly different story than the movie. Within the book, Mark Whatney loses communication with NASA before the plan to travel to the MAV is established. He essentially does it on his own, and technically NASA has not given him permission to do this, YET. Presumably they will give him permission when he gets on a communications link and talks to them, but by that point he is already on board the spacecraft and already a pirate.
Andy Weir wrote the book this is based on. I recommend HIGHLY that you read his book Project Hail Mary.
The Pathfinder mission consisted of a lander (Pathfinder) and a rover (Sojourner). The mission was launched in 1996 and landed in 1997. I don't recall how long Sojourner was active.
I have been obsessed with this movie since I first saw it. There are some liberties taken with the science, specifically the power of the wind storms on Mars. Atmosphere is so thin, a "strong" storm on Mars would feel like a light breeze. Get passed that, and its pretty good. I've since read the book, which explains many things that the movie just glances over, such as WHY he cuts a hole in the roof of a Rover (life support equipment is too tall to fit), and WHY he says he can't ask NASA for permission to take over ARES IV (he lost his Pathfinder communication bridge). Minor in the grand scheme, but it explains context.
Doesn't he crash the Rover in the book too?
@8:15 The villain laugh! I just can't... 🤣
Haha, thanks for watching
29:31 "Man... Where do I know her?" Still haven't realized? That's the same actress who portrayed adult Murph in Interstellar: Jessica Chastain.
I love you even more knowing that you have a farming background. Stay grounded lol
😂 I literally laughed out loud the first time I watched this movie too when he blew himself up with the fire contraption lol
a Precession refers to a shift in rotation; when NASA talks about a precession of a rocket at 17 degrees, it means that they could see that the rocket was shaking to the point where it was steering itself off-course at a 17 degree angle.
I'm happy you researched a bit on space. The subject goes into so many amazing directions.
GREAT REACTION ❤
Look up "He´s a steely eyes missile man"...that is the highest form of compliment in space travel
Might do that, thanks for watching
Amazing Movie! Felt like I was there with him clinging on.. Ultimately it is about life skills (and how we deal with our own life/death decisions) - We have to ask ourselves do we have the the necessary life skills to survive? Ask yourself -do you? (Whether it be another planet, or somewhere closer like an isolated island, or stuck in a forest) How long would you survive? Can you survive? As a teacher it concerns me that many younger people don't have these basic skills :( A good novel to start off with (along with this brilliant film) is Robinson Crusoe.. Hope you feel better soon! you get too many colds !!
26:25, It only looked like the camera was pointing to "NO" because (unlike most typical camera designs), the side of the cylinder is where 2 lenses are located for Pathfinder's camera.
Is his streaming of his daily diary the thing that keeps him sane and alive? No dairy to dial into for Diana.
Also, is this a movie about the best 'reaction' ever created on earth or any other planet?
love the real science in this movie
I love when you ask if he's making a sterile environment to grow his crops in. No, _Mars_ is a sterile environment, he's trying to make a space that is _not_ sterile.
I've seen this movie like 10 times..it's one of my favorite matt damond movies.
I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
I really liked your reaction.
and by the way, 44 years old when he filmed this movie.
Love your channel big thumbs up 👍
