The Lord of the Rings joke works on two different levels. First, the obvious joke that one of the people in the scene is actual Council of Elrond member Sean Bean, and second, that Teddy asks for the code name Glorfindel, a character who was completely cut from the films (but makes perfect sense as the leader of the elves).

@kathyastrom1315 Год назад

What I love about Teddy name-checking Glorfindel is that it shows that he is just as big a geek as the rest of NASA, for all of his bureaucratic ways.

@chris...9497 Год назад

"I'm not going to die here" is Mark Watney's Mission Statement. All else flows from there. It's no longer a personal problem, it's a mission problem. It becomes more intellectual than emotional, more compartmentalized. The rocket blowing up was not really about a lack of inspections. It was actually due to shifts in mass, due to payload (provisions for Watney) becoming liquid. That led to the 'shimmy', then the blowing up. Safety inspections likely would not have revealed that danger. Watney said the next mission wasn't due until another 4 years later; it was already planned. Watney was assuming they wouldn't be sending another ship any sooner, especially since they thought he was dead. How long the trip Earth-to-Mars takes is a range, not a set time period. The distance changes because Earth and Mars orbit the sun at different rates and at different orbital distances. The closest is about 34 million miles and the farthest is 250 million.

@hettbeans Год назад

Not only did they store their poop - the plan was to bring it back with them. There's no way to dispose of it without contaminating Mars with foreign microbes that may be able to survive underground.

The term "sol" that they use throughout the movie is one Martian day. A Martian day is 24hours and 37minutes, so just slightly longer than a day on Earth.

@crazycgames Год назад

That and I'm pretty sure slingshotting around planets adds a TON of speed; pretty sure that's why some of our probes were sent at very specific times to make them slingshot around other things in space.

@hettbeans Год назад

The Hermes can return to Mars faster than a new crew can arrive because it's already in space and can take advantage of the gravitational slingshot provided by circling around the Earth

@robertscott1949 Год назад

In answer to the question of why the Hermes was able to get to Mars so quickly, it is because they never slowed down, but kept accelerating and got an even bigger boost from the gravity slingshot around Earth. They were travelled a lot faster than the resupply mission could have travelled starting out on Earth and having to use so much fuel just to climb out of Earth's gravity.

@najhoant Год назад

This is probably my favorite movie about space (in the regular, real-life like sense). It has technology that's futuristic but still believable as potentially real, it's funny and heartfelt and manages to be suspenseful and compelling without ever having to kill anyone

@vapoet Год назад

There really is only one inaccurate thing about the movie and the original novel, something that the author, Andy Weir freely admits. With the atmosphere being 1% of Earth's, the world storms would be like a whisper of a breeze. But you had to keep Mark Watney there somehow,. Other than that, he literally crowd sourced the science to get it as accurate as possible. In the book, if you get the math and orbital mechanics right, you can literally work out the exact date they took off.

@testfire3000 Год назад

@@vapoet There is more than one thing inaccurate, but they are mostly minor nit-picks. Overall this is my favorite "hard science" sci-fi movies out there. As you said, wind force is unrealistic but they needed something quick and simple to set up the story. There is *always* a backup antenna on every piece of hardware we send to space. Even the Pathfinder from 1996 had a high gain and a low gain antenna, two entirely separate devices. As long as the habitat was still intact there should have been a simple low gain antenna attached, it just looks like a small cylinder. They even implied the rover had an antenna, that is how it connected to Pathfinder. And of course how did they keep the secret from the crew of the ship for several months? They should have been in contact with friends/family back home and there is nothing stopping them from picking up radio/TV signals from Earth. Again, just little items that one can notice, but overall the movie is spectacular. I love it!

@Rmlohner Год назад

Amazing that you did this one in the same week that we finally took the first concrete step toward putting people on Mars, and even as I type this, Artemis 1 has almost reached the Moon. Hopefully things will go better than Andy Weir predicted.

@AlanCanon2222 Год назад

Ain't it the truth? I was born in 1968 so I was an infant during the Apollo missions (9 through 17) and of course grew up idolizing the Apollo team. I hope that the young generation gets at least a little bit excited about the new Artemis program, even in this age of high technology (and perhaps jaded by movies like The Martian, but of course back in the Apollo era people saw 2001: a Space Odyssey, which was, for the time, about as real as it could get in depicting the everyday nature of space travel). I don't want to get my hopes up. Guess I'll find out.

@apatternedhorizon Год назад

Duude. Great movie. Glad I found this, I was looking for something to watch. The scene at the end when Matt hears the crew for the first time he didn't know he was going to actually hear the voices of the actors because he had been working alone since the very beginning of the shoot when the rest of the characters finished their parts so the reaction is genuine.

@apatternedhorizon Год назад

The communication antenna was what hit Mark, so he had no way to contact them after that.

@OGBReacts Год назад

Ohhhhhh.... wow you're right! Didn't even connect that, wow.

@testfire3000 Год назад

@@apatternedhorizon The movie should have done a better job explaining that was the reason he couldn't contact NASA. Even with the loss of the antenna, they should still have had a backup. Even in 1996 they built two different antenna on the Pathfinder, a high gain for rapid communication and a low gain for slow transmissions (might be needed to send reboot instructions if there was a malfunction, it was used more than once).

@vianneyb.8776 8 месяцев назад

@@testfire3000 There was a backup. It was in the MAV (the rocket the crew used to get back to the Hermes).

@testfire3000 8 месяцев назад

@@vianneyb.8776 OK, I accept that as a "movie logic" explanation. Mostly I am being nit-picky because on a real mission with astronauts there would be communications backups that didn't require you to leave the habitat. A low gain antenna good enough to sent text messages from Mars would be much smaller than a 2 liter bottle.

@wh0aheavy Год назад

The book is amazing too. Andy Weir is a genius. Sending Matt Damon to space is always a bad idea, though.

@wwoods66 Год назад

Mark went on short rations right away, to stretch 300 man-days of food over 400 days. Plus his potatoes. But that _still_ wasn't enough to last him until the first rocket could get there, so they really did need to cut corners to get it off sooner. Teddy made a gutsy call, and the right one. It just didn't work out.

@jenniferjones2863 Год назад

There is a picture of Matt Damon reading the book on the set. The caption reads “The Martian, reading The Martian, on the set of The Martian.” When he wrote the book Andy Weir didn’t think anyone would be interested in it so he put it on his website for free. :-)

They kind of gloss over why he has no way to contact NASA in the movie; Basically the dish that struck Watney WAS their primary communications array. All the secondary systems had much less range and were set up to speak to HERMES (The big space station orbiting Mars that they use to go between Earth and Mars) which would then relay the message back to Earth. With the primary array destroyed and HERMES no longer in orbit he is stuck without a way of communication back to Earth.

@AlanCanon2222 Год назад

I'm one of those aging physics majors who enjoys science fiction films in part so I can nit-pick the inaccuracies. There are some in The Martian, for sure (Mars' atmosphere is so thin that no destructive storm could ever develop), but like other geeks like me, I applaud Andy Weir's "What If?" scientific romance (the 19th century name for what we now call science fiction), and Ridley Scott and his team brought it all to the screen. Here's hoping that young people see the movie and become geeks like me, in whatever field, and here's hoping that the attention to detail here (and in earlier movies that paved the way for it, like my favorite movie, 2001: a Space Odyssey), at least forms some sort of benchmark for people that want to make a good science based adventure film.

@phoenixheart79 Год назад

The four years was the original schedule for the next manned Mars mission. The same ship would be used, but would be serviced at Earth upon return from Mars. It would then have to wait for a suitable window in which to launch (the point at which the orbits of Earths and Mars require the least amount of thrust and thus fuel). The reason they are able to return far sooner is because of the Purnell maneuver, which used the gravity of the Earth (and the Sun, if you actually get a look at the orbital path) to both adjust the trajectory of the ship and give it a speed boost, meaning fuel wouldn't be an issue. However, they also can't slow down at Mars (hence the Iron Man bit), as they require that velocity - and a second gravity assist from Mars itself - to return to Earth. The film glosses over it, but the calculations to make that work are wild (but entirely feasible, many probes have used gravity assists whilst exploring the solar system).

@KaiLucasZachary Год назад

The whole 4 years to Mars thing has to do with when Earth and Mars are most aligned to use gravity most to get from one to the other rather than insane amounts of rocket fuel.

@hettbeans Год назад

Funny detail is that as relatively on-point as most of the science in this story is, the author acknowledges that the entire inciting incident, the dust storm, couldn't actually happen on Mars as the atmosphere is too thin for such a powerful storm. Winds that fast on Mars would feel like a light breeze. The surface of Mars is effectively the same as the vacuum of space as far as air pressure goes.

@bloodyuk8452 Год назад

Great reaction as always. I like the movie, but i LOVE the book. It's worth looking into interviews with the author, Andy Weir, just to get an idea about how much thought he put into the science and math here. He actually programmed a simulator to calculate the time differences between earth and Mars at any given point to see how long the Hermes journey will take, or the delay in the communication. Brilliant.

@Rmlohner Год назад

This film came after several disappointments from the once A-list Ridley Scott, which had a lot of people wondering if he'd permanently lost it. And then The Martian instantly shut everyone up with how great a movie he could still make. Unfortunately, his next film All the Money in the World had the extreme bad luck to be the next upcoming film with Kevin Spacey at the time he was revealed as a sex criminal, so that now it's known entirely for the process of reshooting all his scenes with Christopher Plummer (who Scott had wanted in the first place, but the studio insisted on Spacey). It's a pretty great movie, too.

@HiFi5i Год назад

Young lady the reason Mitch has the final word is because. He is the flight director. And in 1962. When John Glenn made his historic first orbital flight they thought his heat shields loose. So management got in the way of the engineers. And said leave the retro rocket package on that slows them down to hold the heat shield in place. But the boss said I'm going to ignore that it's a bad signal. So the moral of the story was, the heat shield was not damaged. It was an erroneous signal. And from that moment on Chris Craft. Who invented Mission Control. Said from now on, once the rocket clears the tower. The flight director is God. No one can change the decision he makes in real time not even the president in the United States. That's why Mitch wanted to tell the crew. He was in charge

As absurd as this seems, there's actually some scientific basis for how they get Watney off the planet; as other people have probably mentioned, Mars' atmosphere is very thin, but also there's this quote from a talk by Warren Ellis:- "The Olympus Mons mountain on Mars is so tall and yet so gently sloped that, were you suited and supplied correctly, ascending it would allow you to walk most of the way to space. Mars has a big, puffy atmosphere, taller than ours, but there’s barely anything to it at that level. Thirty Pascals of pressure, which is what we get in an industrial vacuum furnace here on Earth. You may as well be in space. Imagine that. Imagine a world where you could quite literally walk to space. That’s actually got a bit more going for it, as an idea, than exotic red deserts and canals. Imagine living in a Martian culture for a moment, where this thing is a presence in the existence of an entire sentient species. A mountain that you cannot see the top of, because it’s a small world and the summit wraps behind the horizon. Imagine settlements creeping up the side of Olympus Mons. Imagine battles fought over sections of slope. Generations upon generations of explorers dying further and further up its height, technologies iterated and expended upon being able to walk to within leaping distance of orbital space."

@bobogus7559 Год назад

This movie is extremely scientifically accurate, with the exception of the dust storms being far more forceful than in reality. The atmosphere on Mars is far less dense than Earth's atmosphere (at the surface , the Martian atmosphere is about as dense as our own atmosphere at an altitude of 115,000 feet - over 3 times higher than an airliner's cruising altitude and about 50% higher than the SR-71's cruising altitude). This means that on Mars, a 100-mph wind produces as much force as a 1-mph wind here (basically imperceptible). Also, gravity is a lot lower on Mars due to its smaller mass.

Ridley Scott got a genuine cry out of Matt Damon during his rescue by refusing to let any other actors on set unless they were meant for the scene. He filmed the movie basically in order, so Matt was alone without any other actors for most of the film (and Ridley Scott forbid him from interacting with crew members). So when Jessica Chastain's voice pops up and he cries...it gives Matt the opportunity to interact with a person. Of course, Matt interacted with Ridley, his friends, and his family...but it was the first time he interacted with anyone on set since his character was abandoned. And that's how Ridley Scott got Matt Damon to cry.

4 years was if the hermes slowed down to orbit earth and then accelerated again leaving earth. Slowing down and speeding up again would take months, ion drive is a gentle push over a long period. Instead it used its braking fuel during the return to earth to speed up even faster, and used earth's gravity to slingshot around, changing direction to point back at mars and picking up more fuel/food/air in passing without stopping. That was the Rich Purnell maneuver that got it back to mars a full year earlier. Watney inherited about a year of food (2 months rations for 6 people), and he managed to grow a bunch of potatoes to stretch that, but never had enough enclosed land area to be self sustaining, and needed to spread the rations among the potatoes to avoid malnutrition. He was consuming calories faster than he could produce them and even if he hadn't lost the farm he'd have starved half a year before Hermes could ordinarily make it back. (Thus the attempt to send him more food... via having a capsule with no guidance system or braking rockets slam into the ground near him and hope he could fish useful scraps out of the debris. Which would still have meant hanging out almost 4 years total in a high-tech tent designed to last 30 days and already held together with duct tape after the first time part of it wore out and breached. And then at the end of it he STILL had to get to the Ares 4 site 50 days drive away from Ares 3, because that's where the next crew's MAV (Mars Ascent Vehicle, their ride back into orbit) had been sent ahead to slowly collect/synthesize fuel from Mars's atmosphere (that hydrazine stuff he had some extra of to make water from because the MAV that left at the start left behind its "make fuel" system to save weight. The MAVs made their own fuel on arrival instead of having it sent from Earth... to save weight.) So the next crew had to go there or _they_ couldn't get home. That was the "too much can go wrong" part. (The book went into a lot more detail, and showed the math. Plus that 50-day drive was like a third of the book and pretty much edited out in the movie.)

I'm so grateful for a friend to be with me to re-watch this favorite movie ..without a total time investment 🙂😘 so at about 20:40 there's no need to "guess." the plastic wrap and duct-tape could never, not even close, hold up to a re-pressurized inside to the Mars pressure outside. the difference is like 100 to 1. it's a movie, ok, let's say that it does as shown. the potato tops might be crisped, but the spuds in the ground should be fine to grow again once atmosphere, temperature, lighting, and water are restored (the point of the plastic). no gripes, just some fun observations ..since we're on a science-based space movie 👨‍🚀

There's no way to contact NASA because the only contacts were on the ship. Humanity hasn't colonized Mars yet, so there's no other place for him to be able to make any signals towards Earth.

I love this movie. You should definitely check out the book by Andy Weir. Lots of stuff happens there that wasn't in the movie. We learn that Mark was selected for this mission because of his personality and because he's good at solving problems. He's also an engineer as well as the Greatest Botanist on Mars. For the record, this is supposed to be roughly 2035. The book doesn't have the silly Iron Man stuff at the end. Mark suggests it but is vetoed immediately. He stays put and Beck comes out to get him as planned. Pathfinder and Sojourner are real and the site where they are is now named the Carl Sagan Memorial Station. As for what Mark types after he is told everything is broadcast all over the world, it's one thing in the book and another in a scene from the extended version of the movie. Book version: "Look! A pair of boobs! (.Y.)" Film version: He calls an unknown person a "Bureaucratic Felcher". If you want to know what that means, look it up, but it is disgusting. And calling Rich Purnell a "steely-eyed missile man" is the highest compliment in NASA. It essentially means a person who devises an ingenious solution to a problem while under extreme stress.

One thing the movie added that I much appreciated is making clearer just how big a sacrifice it was for the Hermes crew to go back for Mark, spending another year and a half in space.

@katwithattitude5062 Год назад

@@Rmlohner It really was. And one thing I didn't mention that's in the book is what would have happened if something had gone wrong with the rendezvous with the supplies. The remaining crew except for Johanssen would have taken pills to commit suicide so they wouldn't be using any more of the food and other supplies they had left. She would have then used their bodies for more food. She would have gone to Mars alone before orbiting and coming back with the computer controlling Hermes, and Mark would have died because she wouldn't be able to rescue him alone. She was chosen to survive because she's the smallest and would have used fewer resources than any of the others.

28:10 - the reason the new course is so much faster is because they don't go into orbit around Earth, so instead of slowing down half of the way from Mars to Earth, they get to accelerate to even faster speeds. The risk of this is that if either of the docking maneuvers goes wrong, everybody's fucked.

@kermitcook8498 Год назад

Adorable reaction Sam. Matt such a nicer guy than in interstellar. Mark had to science the shit out of this. Those astro people are very adaptable. Mark Watney, space pirate, colonizes mars. And the crew decides to make a double dip trip to rescue the guy the didn't like. MW gets to do a ironman/WALLE flight. I love it. There are similar movies. Marooned is one. Silent Running is sort of another. This is the best of those three. Sean bean's character should have resigned to spite NASA. Get a better paying gig at CNN and a great book deal. I'm guessing that martian habitats got a major redesign after this. Probably a martian concrete and underground sort of thing. To better handle their environment. New propulsion systems to decrease drive times would help too. Maybe some sort of bnb as a layover spot for emergencies. Who knows? Great job

I went to this with a friend when they was released not knowing anything about it. It subsequently became one of my favorite movies (the book it's based on is fantastic too). Much like Apollo 13 (another great space film), it's a movie all about problem-solving with the biggest stakes on the line.

@iKvetch558 Год назад

28:10 You were wondering about the 4 years vs getting back to Mars ASAP, and you were on the right track...sort of. The original plan, as I understand it, was that the missions to Mars were planned to run about every 4 or 5 years because of a cycle that exists between Earth and Mars that puts the two planets in position for the quickest journey between them that is also as energy efficient as possible...I am not totally clear on the physics, so I will just try to get close enough so you can look the rest up. If I am not wrong, the main ship that carries them back and forth is designed to fly that cyclical route, and there is just a period of time in between the missions when that big ship "stops" at an orbital station of some kind to have maintenance and upgrades and repairs done and is restocked for the next crew's mission. So sending the big ship on the extra mission to go back to Mars as past as possible is definitely a significant risk. ✌✌

This was Andy Weir's first book, and he unfortunately hasn't been able to come close to the kind of smash success it had again. In particular, his other books have been knocked for their lousy dialogue, which The Martian was largely able to get away with since it's mostly a first person monologue while the scenes at NASA are just dry technical talk.
