Hard science fiction is a pain for liberal arts students

Non-film
review--------------------------------------------
My husband graduated At that time, there was an offer to the Fifth Aerospace Academy, because it was a small screw and there was no money, so I didn't go. Naturally, some of his classmates have gone for ideals or stability, and have participated in large-scale projects that have attracted much attention.
Once everyone had a meal together and talked about what each other was doing. My husband said he was doing XXX. The other party asked, can you send this signal back from Mars? (To the effect)-I thought it was a joke, but my husband said yes. Then the two began to discuss technical issues seriously.
I like watching science fiction movies, but hard science fiction always feels naked IQ discrimination. I often need my husband to help me answer a lot of lines. What's more sad is that I don't understand it at all.
As a liberal arts student, I have a bit of superstitious worship and blind admiration for science students.

Another impressive thing is this. At MIT, my friend was studying for a female doctorate there. I said that I wanted to see a classroom in the United States, and walked into an empty room with formulas on the blackboard. I found a seat and sat down, looking around. My friend walked up to the podium and told me with great interest what that line of andante was written on... I was really envious and inferior...

I don't know if I was born weak with these things, or escaped.
In short, as soon as you face it, you become a child with a young brain.

I really like hard science fiction, and I really hope I can figure out those lines.

The Martian quotes

  • [first lines]

    Melissa Lewis: All right team, stay in sight of each other. Let's make NASA proud today.

    Rick Martinez: How's it looking over there, Watney?

    Mark Watney: Well, you will be happy to hear that in Grid Section 14-28, the particles were predominately coarse but in 29, they're much finer and they should be ideal for chem analysis.

    Rick Martinez: Oh, wow. Did everybody hear that? Mark just discovered dirt.

    [laughs]

    Rick Martinez: Should we alert the media?

  • Bruce Ng: Mars' atmosphere is so thin, by the time the ship's going fast enough for air resistance to matter, it'll be high enough that there's practically no air.

    Vincent Kapoor: You want to send him into space under a tarp?

    Bruce Ng: Yes... Can I go on?

    Vincent Kapoor: [frustrated look] NO.
