Serious afterthoughts about "The Martian"

I went to watch the cute "Mars Rescue", it's really the best-looking work released in theaters recently~ In addition to get learning mathematics, physics and chemistry, I'm not afraid that it turns out to be a cosmic theorem, and I've been stunned all the way. All kinds of professional vocabulary leave a little curiosity, the reason is that this film is very friendly to the general audience. The cute classmates are not only funny but also amazing in action. They are the masters of human positive energy and wisdom. Hard science fiction has always crushed the maliciousness of the audience's IQ.
Although the whole movie is full of scientific details that can open a whole class, there are two things that impress me the most. One is that the cute and cuddly classmates are hungry and skinny and have the strength to think about the meaning of maritime law to him. The dignified engineering man actually has the time to study this, and the Indian friend who saved him can immediately get his brain hole, indicating that this is a very common phenomenon? According to the details, it can be inferred that today's science and engineering men are not nerds who only focus on the laboratory? Hmm...it's very likely...
Second, the cute classmate pulled back an ancient satellite and communicated with the earth. Of course, the whole film is full of "it's not enough if an ordinary person dies 10,000 times" The details, but this point especially made me reflect on myself, yes, although I will not die 10,000 times, it is not a pity, but my point is neither planting potatoes nor making water, it is such a small event to find lost and tattered. To complete this event, you must first know that there is such a satellite, secondly, you must know the exact location of this thing, and again you must overcome all difficulties to pull it back. Finally, you must have such a basic friend who has the same mind as you, and these two will only shake their heads. The ultra-delay camera is used, and when I see this, my knees are broken and I am at a loss for words.
The inspiration from the above two points alone is that no matter which direction of knowledge exploration is carried out, an understanding of the overall scientific, cultural and political process of mankind is indispensable, and the historical progress of a single discipline should also be studied in depth. Only on the shoulders of human collective intelligence can we better understand the potatoes in our hands and the codes on the screen.

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.
