One upvote for you. Fanboys are a pest. And yes, The Martian is just ridiculous, with its martian lab and spaceship that look like youth hostels, space mutinies, impossible sandstorms, and people navigating around in space thanks to a hole in a spacesuit. Not to mention the guy who tries to explain gravity assist to the head of NASA. I mean, it could be entertaining, if they just didn't try to sell it to you as actually plausible or accurate.
- TeMPOraL 11y agoBesides the sandstorm, your examples are actually not ridiculous. But RE that Purnell scene, AFAIR he was trying to explain it to the PR lady - it seems totally plausible to me that she doesn't understand gravity assist. But yeah, that scene felt totally forced IMO, designed only to explain stuff to audience.
