Fixing The MAV Scene | THE MARTIAN (2015) Movie CLIP HD 

@@pyroslev yeah and the point at which the pathfinder was disabled would have been hard to adapt to film.

I think they did a good job going from book to movie although i wish they had left that one part in about her potentially having to eat everyone else if they don't get the supplies. changed the entire tone of the book for me.

@@s70driver2005 Her?

@@arx5638 iirc the plan for the people on the return mission to get him agreed that if things got bad supply wise (ex. something went wrong along the way), the smallest among them (woman named Johannsen I think?) was to be the designated survivor if the resupply slingshot to the spacecraft didnt work.

Didn't he say "in a rag-top"?

@@xifel72 Watch the clip. He clearly said “convertible”.

Everyone in the theater laughed at that line 😂

@@grumpy2.0 Considering time spent and likely results, I don't think he needed to stretch that Hab canvas over the capsule's nonexistent nose...

Ah yes, an Armageddon reference would have been great! "Somebody tell me what this is. Plastic ice cream scoop? What'd that cost? About $400?"

id have put that down to where it is located, the rocket could be a lot deeper down in the crater, giving it more protection from such storms. Also where HAB was, it looked like it was much more open and on higher ground.

Sending it ahead makes sense IRL, especially if you are making the fuel for it on site, like real Mars mission proposals plan to. The storm at the start of the film was the completely unrealistic thing. In the super thin Martian atmosphere, the storms can get to high speed, but the low density atmosphere means it barely exerts force on things. You could stand in the middle of a sandstorm, and it wouldn't push you more than a light breeze on Earth. The abrasion might be somewhat of a problem, but it pushing a rocket over, or launching an antenna with enough force to knock someone over isn't a realistic problem.

Reduce drag, kind of like if thr nise cone was still present.

@@estebanpineros9409 Ah. Seems reasonable…if it would survive without shredding.

@@paulstacy1992 it would fail, but by the time it does, atmosphere would be thin enaugh for it to not matter

@@Rahkesh357 This was the miscalculation that caused the missed rendezvous.

Also mars atmosphere is a lot thinner than earths, so it wouldn’t push as hard into the tarp

Weather in place A != Weather in Place B

Plot hole. Nothing about the dust storm makes sense. It's just there to set up Man vs Nature theme of the book. Don't worry about it.

@@businka1are we able to get accurate meteorological data here on earth, much less on another planet??

@@ekalorschmekalor2885 We do have access to pretty accurate meteorological data on Earth. It has never happened to you to get a tornado warning, an order to evacuate to flee a hurricane, a heat wave forecast, and those events actually happening? And, above Mars, there are several satellites. Not as many as on Earth, but enough to watch the development of a big storm.

Me. I have this on DVD packed away somewhere.

Nice

Humans have to eat to survive. Hope this helps 👍

Big if true​@@albertramirez1631

That's not how it works. Mars has very little atmosphere because it doesn't have a magnetic field strong enough to prevent solar wind and radiation from literally blowing the atmosphere away. Even if you planted trees, the oxygen they'd produce would get blown away. That aside, you can't have an all oxygen atmosphere anyway, you would need nitrogen fixing compounds produced by living bacteria and fungi to make it habitable for larger species.

That’s Matt Damon under all that fur.

Lol it doesn't care, the "litter" will wear down/break down and be reabsorbed by the planet. Litter is only a short term issue, long term all litter is broken down and all evidence of it gone.

It's a completely dead, essentially sterile, radioactive planet, who cares?

Why care about eating etiquette if you haven't met a human who could be annoyed by it for 18 months?
