The Martian Poop Scene

1)
(a)The part of The Martian i found really interesting was the ‘poop scene’.Mark was on mars with a limited supply of food and water so he has to think fast on how to survive on mars till NASA saves him. Luckily he studied botany and was good at it. Mark thought of using dirt from mars and getting his own waste to fertilize the dirt so he can grow plants, using tarps to cover the mechanical equipment, and using a machine to generate water using fire and filling the room with oxygen and water to keep the fuels healthy. Poop has a lot of nutrients that plants need to grow. From looking at websites about the martian, the biggest question is “can the martian really happen” And there a possibility it can happen. Having 9 facts that are true and Men/Woman are going to mars but not anytime soon …show more content…
The last scene that seemed weird. It was the scene when Mark Whatney was in the pod getting off mars with the pod in space and Mark had to get out and fly to the ship by poked holes in his space suit and used the holes as 2 air shooters that allowed him to fly through space and back to his crew like “Iron Man” The scene wasn’t science but more of a physics question. Looking at someone's personal answer on how was this scene so wrong. And the person used math and seemed to back it up with good statistics. Saying that in order for the air to leave the life support down the arm and out the hole it would be traveling 600 mph, but obviously it wasn’t going that fast and the knife cuts in the holes need to be even holes in order for him to be completely straight flow through space. With the size of knife holes the air and energy from the life support would diminish fast and would be stuck. A scene of the movie that was my favorite was when Mark was trying to use the rover's camera to communicate with NASA and they were reenacting what it would be like on mars for mark by getting a replica of the rover and using the scaled used so Nasa and Mark can communicate without typing or
