00:00:30You
00:01:00You
00:01:30You
00:02:00You
00:02:05All right team stay inside of each other let's make NASA proud today
00:02:10How's it looking over there Watney? Well, you'll be happy to hear that in grid section
00:02:161428 the particles were predominantly coarse, but in 29, they're
00:02:22Much finer and they should be ideal for chem analysis. Oh, wow. Everybody hear that much is discovered dirt
00:02:28Should we alert the media? Sorry, what are you doing today? Martinez making sure the Mav is still up, right?
00:02:33Well, I'd like you to know that visual inspection of the equipment is imperative to mission success
00:02:37I also would like to report that the Mav is still a breath
00:02:41Watney you keep leaving your channel open which leads to Martinez responding which leads to all of us listening which leads to me being annoyed
00:02:51Shut your smart mouth
00:02:53We prefer use a different adjective to describe Martinez's mouth
00:02:59Dr. Beck and yes
00:03:01Happy to turn the radios off from here commander. Just say the word. Yeah, Johansson that constant communication is the
00:03:12Apologize for my countryman Vogel accepted how many samples do we need commander seven hundred grams each
00:03:20We
00:03:26Have a mission update storm warning
00:03:29Commander you should come inside. You're gonna want to see this. What is it storm warning?
00:03:34I saw that in this morning's briefing. We'll be inside before it hits
00:03:38Yeah, they they upgraded their estimate
00:03:40This storm is gonna be a lot worse
00:03:43I
00:03:49Teenage how's it look?
00:03:51Not good
00:03:551,200 kilometers in diameter bearing twenty four point forty one degrees
00:03:59That's tracking right towards us based on current escalation estimate of force of eighty six hundred mutants
00:04:05What's the abort force?
00:04:077,500
00:04:09Anything more than that in the map could tip or a scrub
00:04:13Begin abort procedure. They are estimating with a marginal error. We could wait it out
00:04:19Let's wait it out
00:04:22Let's wait it out
00:04:25Commander prep emergency departure commander. We're scrubs. That's an order
00:04:40Oh Martinez, how long before takeoff 12 minutes
00:04:50Visibility is almost zero anyone gets lost on in my suit telemetry
00:05:09Oh
00:05:25Commander we're at 10 degrees and the map is gonna tip at 12.3
00:05:39Watch out
00:05:46Warning suit breach detected. What happened?
00:05:52Before we lost telemetry is the compression alarm went off
00:05:59Negative complete loss of signal on Watney bitch. Yeah, how long can he survive decompression less than a minute?
00:06:06Line up walk west. He may be prone. We don't want to step over him
00:06:12Commander
00:06:14We're at ten point five degrees
00:06:16Tilting to eleven warning with all the ghosts of wind
00:06:26What about you commander I'm gonna search a little longer
00:06:35One day
00:06:37one day report
00:06:38The maps at eleven point six degrees one good dust and we're tipping if it tips you watch
00:06:44You really think I'm gonna leave you behind?
00:06:56What about the proximity radar could that detect what is suit?
00:06:59Well, it's made to see the armies from orbit not a little piece of metal food in a single suit. Give it a try Roger
00:07:05What is she thinking? She knows the infrared can't get through a sandstorm. She's grasping for anything
00:07:10Got negative contact on the proximity radar. Nothing. Nah, I can barely see the hat
00:07:16commander, I know you don't want to hear this but
00:07:19Marcus dead
00:07:23Hey, what the hell is wrong with you man, my friend just died. I don't want my commander to die to stability warning
00:07:35Thirteen degrees the past balance will never rock back. I got one more trick left and then I'm following orders commander
00:07:42You're firing the old mess that's right
00:07:56Your head so let's go
00:08:05Mark
00:08:19What 11.5 and holding
00:08:24Ready to go on your command
00:08:28Ready to launch
00:08:30Commander I need you to verbally tell me whether or not to lunch
00:09:06You
00:09:16At around 430 a.m
00:09:18Central Standard Time our satellites detected a storm approaching the Ares 3 mission site on Mars at
00:09:25645 the storm had escalated to severe and we had no choice but to abort the mission
00:09:31Thanks to the quick action of commander Lewis
00:09:34astronauts Beck
00:09:35Johansson Martinez and Vogel were all able to reach the Mars ascent vehicle and perform an emergency launch at
00:09:42728 Central Time
00:09:45Unfortunately during the evacuation astronaut Mark Watney was struck by debris and killed
00:09:53Commander Lewis and the rest of her team were able to intercept safely with the Hermes and are now heading home
00:09:59But Mark Watney is dead
00:10:03Hey, Mr. Sanders, Mr. Sanders
00:10:33Oh
00:11:03Oh
00:11:33I
00:12:03Oh
00:12:15Pressure stable
00:12:33Oh
00:13:03Oh
00:13:34Oh
00:13:55Yeah
00:14:03Oh
00:14:33Oh
00:15:03Oh
00:15:18Fuck
00:15:33Oh
00:15:50Okay
00:15:53Hello, this is Mark Watney astronaut
00:15:57I'm entering this log for the record
00:16:01In case I don't make it
00:16:04It is. Oh
00:16:07653 on sol 19 and
00:16:12I'm alive
00:16:15Obviously, but I'm guessing that's gonna come as a surprise to my crewmates and to NASA
00:16:22and to the entire world really so
00:16:28Surprised I
00:16:30Did not die on sol 18
00:16:33best I can figure this length of our primary communications antenna broke off and tore through my biomonitor and
00:16:41Ripped a hole in me as well
00:16:44But the the antenna and the blood really
00:16:47Managed to seal the breach in my suit which kept me alive
00:16:51Even though the crew must have thought I was dead. I
00:16:54Have no way to contact NASA
00:16:57and even if I could it's gonna be
00:16:59Four years until a manned mission can reach me
00:17:03And I'm gonna have designed the last 31 days if the oxygenator breaks
00:17:07I'm gonna suffocate if the water reclaimer breaks. I'll die of thirst if they have breaches. I'm just gonna kind of
00:17:13implode and
00:17:15If by some miracle, none of that happens
00:17:19Eventually, I'm gonna run out of food
00:17:22So
00:17:25Yeah
00:17:30Yeah
00:17:33I
00:18:03I
00:18:33I
00:19:03I
00:19:20I'm not gonna die
00:19:33I
00:19:35I
00:20:05Three
00:20:0834 35 36 sweet and sour chicken
00:20:36I
00:20:55Right, let's do the math our service mission here was supposed to last
00:21:0131 souls for redundancy. They sent 68 souls worth of food. That's for six people
00:21:05So for just me that's gonna last 300 souls, which I figure I can stretch to 400 if I rationed
00:21:10So I got to figure out a way
00:21:13to grow
00:21:14three years worth of food here
00:21:17On a planet where nothing grows
00:21:20Luckily
00:21:24I'm the botanist
00:21:26Mars will come to fear my botany powers
00:21:56I
00:22:26I
00:22:31Staple came out
00:22:56Oh
00:23:22Fuck you Mars
00:23:27Oh
00:23:40Hansa Jesus
00:23:56I
00:24:26I
00:24:43Problems water I
00:24:46Have created
00:24:48126 square meters of soil
00:24:51But every cubic meter of soil requires 40 liters of water to be farmable
00:24:56So I got to make a lot more water
00:25:00Good thing is I know the recipe you take hydrogen you add oxygen you burn
00:25:05now I have
00:25:07hundreds of liters of unused hydrazine at the end
00:25:11If I run the hydrazine over an iridium catalyst
00:25:14It'll separate into n2 and h2
00:25:17and then if I just directed the hydrogen into a small area and
00:25:22burn it
00:25:24Luckily in the history of humanity
00:25:26Nothing bad has ever happened from
00:25:29lighting hydrogen on fire
00:25:32NASA hates fire
00:25:34Because of the whole fire makes everybody die in space thing
00:25:38so everything they sent us up here with his flame retardant with the notable exception of
00:25:46Martinez's personal items. I am sorry Martinez, but if you didn't want me to go through your stuff
00:25:52You shouldn't left me for dead on a desolate planet
00:25:55By the way, I'm figuring you're gonna be fine with this given my present situation
00:26:01Counting on you
00:26:22Oh
00:26:36So, yeah, I blew myself up best guess I
00:26:43Forgot to
00:26:45Account for the excess oxygen that
00:26:48I've been exhaling when I did my calculations because I'm stupid
00:26:58Yeah, I'm gonna get back to work here just as soon as my ears stop ringing
00:27:08Interesting side note, this is actually how the jet propulsion lab was founded
00:27:12Five guys at Caltech trying to make rocket fuel and they nearly burned down their dorm
00:27:17and rather than expel them banished them to a
00:27:21Nearby farm told them to keep working
00:27:24Now we have a space program
00:27:29Okay
00:27:47I
00:28:17I
00:28:48Hey there
00:28:59The nation was blessed to have Mark serving in our space program
00:29:03While his loss will be deeply felt the men and women of NASA will soldier forth onward and upward in the mission of their agency
00:29:11By doing so they honor the legacy
00:29:14Mark's leaving behind and they ensure his sacrifice will not be in vain
00:29:36I thought you'd give a lovely speech by the way
00:29:39together I
00:29:41Need you to authorize my satellite time not gonna happen
00:29:44We're funded for five Ares missions. I think I can get Congress to authorize a sixth
00:29:49Nope, Ares 3e back after 18 sols as there's half a mission worth of supplies up there
00:29:54I can sell it at a fraction of the cost of a normal mission and all I have to know is what's left of
00:29:58Our assets you're not the only one who needs satellite time. We've got the Ares for supply missions coming up
00:30:02We should be focusing on the Schiaparelli crater. Okay, we got 12 satellites up there
00:30:06Surely we could spare a few out about the satellite time Vince. We're a public domain organization. We need to be transparent on
00:30:12Okay, the second we point the satellites that they have I broadcast pictures of Mark Watney's dead body to the world
00:30:18You're afraid of a PR problem. Of course, I'm afraid of a PR problem another mission
00:30:23Congress won't reimburse us for a paperclip. If I put a dead astronaut on the front page of the Washington Post
00:30:28He's not going anywhere. Teddy. I mean, he's not
00:30:31He's not gonna decompose. You know, he's gonna be up there forever
00:30:35Meteorology estimates that he'll be covered in sand from normal weather activity within a year. Well, we can't wait a year
00:30:40We got work to do. Ares 5 won't even launch for five years. We have plenty of time
00:30:45Okay
00:30:47Okay
00:30:49Okay consider this
00:30:52Right now
00:30:54The world's on our side
00:30:56Sympathy for the Watney family. Ares 6 could bring his body home now
00:31:01We don't say that's the purpose of the mission, but we make it clear that that would be a part of it
00:31:05We frame it that way
00:31:07more support from Congress
00:31:09But not if we wait a year
00:31:11We wait a year. Nobody gives a shit
00:31:31I
00:32:01Sit down
00:32:03Oh
00:32:05Thank you
00:32:08I
00:32:31Security this is Mindy Park and Satcom. I need the emergency contact for Vincent Kapoor
00:32:37Yes him
00:32:38Yes, it's an emergency
00:32:45How sure 100% you've got to be shitting me prove it to me
00:32:55For a start
00:32:57Solar panels have been cleaned. It could have been cleaned by wind
00:33:01back it up
00:33:03Look at rover 2 according to the logs commander Lewis took it out. So 17 plugged it into the hab to recharge
00:33:09It's been moved
00:33:10She could have forgotten to log the move
00:33:12No, not likely. Why don't we just ask Lewis? Let's get on Capcom and ask her directly right now
00:33:17No, no, if Watney is really alive, we don't want the Ares 3 crew to know
00:33:21How can you not tell them they have another 10 months on their trip home. The space travel is dangerous
00:33:27They need to be alert and undistracted, but they already think he's dead and they'd be devastated to find out they left in their life
00:33:33I'm sorry, but you have not thought this through. I mean, what what are we gonna say?
00:33:37Dear America, remember that astronaut we killed and had a really nice funeral for turns out
00:33:42He's alive and we left him on Mars are bad sincerely NASA
00:33:45I mean, do you realize the shitstorm that is about to hit us? How are we gonna handle the public?
00:33:52Legally, we have 24 hours to release these pictures. We release a statement with them. We don't want people working it out on their own
00:33:58Yes, sir, but if my math is right he's going to starve to death long before we can help him
00:34:06Even imagine what he's going through up there. I mean, he's 50 million miles away from home. He thinks he's totally alone
00:34:12He thinks we gave up on him. I
00:34:14Mean, what does that do to a man psychologically?
00:34:18The hell is he thinking right now
00:34:24I'm definitely gonna die up here
00:34:27If I have to listen to any more god-awful disco music
00:34:32My god commander Lewis, couldn't you have packed anything from this century?
00:34:38No, I'm not I'm not gonna turn the beat around I refuse to
00:34:46What attempts have been made to make contact with Mark Watney we're working on it
00:34:51Does he have enough supplies to survive? We'll be looking into that
00:34:55What does this say about the agency are you going to resign no
00:35:04It's time to start thinking long-term
00:35:07The next NASA mission is Ares 4 and it's supposed to land at Schiaparelli crater
00:35:143,200 kilometers away
00:35:173,200 kilometers in four years when the next Ares crew arrives, I'll have to be there
00:35:24Which means I have to get to the crater
00:35:29Okay, so here's the rub
00:35:30I've got one working Rover designed to go a max distance of 35 kilometers before the battery has to be recharged at the have
00:35:39That's problem a
00:35:42Problem B is this journey is gonna take me roughly 50 days to complete
00:35:49So I got a I got to live for 50 days inside a rover with marginal life support the size of a small van
00:35:56so
00:35:57In the face of overwhelming odds, I'm left with only one option
00:36:02I'm gonna have to science the shit out of this
00:36:19You
00:36:32Okay, so success
00:36:39I have doubled my battery life by scavenging Rover one
00:36:44But if I use the heater
00:36:49I will burn through half my battery every day
00:36:55If I do not use my heater I will be
00:37:00Slowly killed by the laws of thermodynamics. I would love to solve this problem right now, but
00:37:08Unfortunately
00:37:13Thank you, I'm calling it I'm calling it
00:37:20I
00:37:28May have a solution to my heating problem
00:37:31Bad news it involves me digging up the radioisotope thermoelectric generator
00:37:36Now if I remember my training correctly one of the lessons was titled don't dig up the big box of plutonium mark
00:37:43I get it RTGs are good for spacecraft, but if they rupture around humans
00:37:48No more humans, which is why we buried it when we arrived and planted that flag
00:37:53So we would never be stupid enough to accidentally go near it again
00:37:56But as long as I don't break it
00:38:01Everything will be fine out loud. Look the point is I'm not cold anymore
00:38:05And sure I could choose to think about the fact that I'm warm because I have a decaying radioactive isotope riding right behind me
00:38:12But right now I got bigger problems on my hands
00:38:15I have scoured every single data file on commander Lewis's personal drive
00:38:19This is officially the least disco song she owns
00:38:44I
00:38:59Where is what me going? Well, we believe that he's preparing for a journey
00:39:03He's been conducting incremental tests taking the rover to out for longer and longer trips each time
00:39:08Sir
00:39:10To what end why would he leave the relative safety of the hab?
00:39:13Well, we think that he plans to travel to the Ares for launch site in order to make contact with us
00:39:18But it would be a dangerous gamble
00:39:19But if we could talk to him
00:39:21We would tell him to stay put and to trust that we are doing everything in our power to bring him home alive
00:39:27Thank you very much
00:39:31Don't say bring him home alive and say what these interviews uneasy
00:39:36So god forbid I try to say something proactive and positive any no more Vincent on TV copy that
00:39:4376 kilometers am I reading that right?
00:39:46Are you asking me? I am. Yes, sir
00:39:50Mark drove two hours straight away from the hab did a short EVA and then drove for another two. We think the
00:39:57EVA was to change batteries. He didn't load up the oxygenator or the water reclaimer every 41 hours. There's a 17 minute gap
00:40:04It's just the way the orbits work. So it's
00:40:07Possible that we miss something. I want that gap down to four minutes
00:40:11I'm giving you total authority over satellite trajectories and orbital adjustments make it happen
00:40:17Okay
00:40:18Let's assume miss Park didn't miss anything. So Mark's not going to Ares for
00:40:23Yet, but he's smart enough to figure out that's his only chance
00:40:28Bruce what's the earliest we can get a pre-supply there?
00:40:31Well with the positions of Earth and Mars, it'll take nine months
00:40:36And I'll take six months to build it in the first place three months
00:40:40three
00:40:42And then I'm gonna make a speech about the blinding capabilities of the JPL team
00:40:46And then you're going to do the math in your head and say something like the overtime alone will be a nightmare
00:40:51You know what time alone will be a nightmare get started. I'll find you the money
00:40:56We need to tell the crew Mitch we've discussed this how you discuss this I don't want to decides what's best for the crew
00:41:04They deserve to know
00:41:07Once there's a real rescue plan. We'll tell them otherwise it's moot
00:41:11Bruce says three months to get the payload done. That's all that matters right now
00:41:16We'll do our best
00:41:17Mark dies if you don't
00:41:19It's been 48 souls since I planted the potatoes so now it's time to reap and resew
00:41:25They grew even better than I expected. I now have 400 healthy potato plants. I dug them up being careful to leave their plants alive
00:41:34The smaller ones. I'll recede the larger ones are my food supply all natural organic
00:41:41Martian grown potatoes you don't hear that every day. Do you?
00:41:44And by the way none of this matters at all if I can't figure out a way to make contact with NASA
00:42:14I know what I'm gonna do
00:42:45Oh
00:42:46He's moving again. Oh, is he going?
00:42:49He hasn't changed course for 13 days. He's nowhere near the Ares fall
00:42:54Well, unless he's not taking a direct route. I mean you might be trying to avoid
00:42:59Some obstacle what obstacle?
00:43:02This acid daily a planitia. There's nothing out there except the
00:43:08What I
00:43:10I need a map
00:43:20Yeah
00:43:26Okay, so where's the hat location 31.2 degrees north 28.5 degrees west where's what me
00:43:40I know where he's going. I need to get on an airplane
00:44:10Oh
00:44:23Your fight
00:44:40I
00:45:05See what are the chances marking get it working again? It's hard to say
00:45:10contact in 97
00:45:12You think it was battery failure?
00:45:14Well, I'd like to point out it lasted three times longer than I expected
00:45:18He's criticizing JPL's workers. I just need to speak to everybody that was here in 97. They're already here guys
00:45:23Like to introduce Vincent Kapoor director of Mars missions. You know master your current team
00:45:29original project members
00:45:40Oh
00:45:47Is this the replica this is her okay, let's see it that's fine
00:45:58That's fine
00:46:10I
00:46:40I
00:47:11Come on
00:47:33Holy shit, okay
00:47:36Well casting status listening for telemetry signal, huh?
00:47:41Okay signal fired
00:47:44All right. Okay camera
00:48:05I
00:48:36Ain't coming
00:48:40Are you receiving me?
00:48:44Yes, no
00:48:47Okay point the camera yes
00:48:5032 minute round-trip communications time. All he can do is ask. Yes. No questions
00:48:54No, we can do is point the camera. This won't exactly be an Algonquin roundtable of snappy refer to you
00:49:00Just point the camera. Roger that
00:49:03Pointing the camera
00:49:20Yes
00:49:22Yes
00:49:25So here's the rub
00:49:27Somehow we have to have complex astrophysical engineering conversations
00:49:33using nothing but a still frame camera
00:49:36from 1996
00:49:42Luckily
00:49:44The camera does spin
00:49:47So I can make an alphabet
00:49:49It can't be our alphabet
00:49:5226 characters plus a question card into 360 gives us 13 degrees of arc. That's way too narrow
00:49:57I'd never know what the camera was pointing at
00:50:03Oh
00:50:13Hexadecimals
00:50:19Hexadecimals to the rescue. I figured one of you guys kept an ASCII table lying around
00:50:24And I was right. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you super nerd Bethe O'Hanlon
00:50:30Who also had copies of Zork 2 and Leather Goddesses of Phobos on her personal laptop
00:50:38Seriously Johansson, it's like the Smithsonian of loneliness on there. Not that I'm complaining. Yes. Who am I to talk about loneliness?
00:51:00I
00:51:06Know where he's going with this
00:51:30That's it
00:52:00Oh
00:52:20Wake up
00:52:30Now
00:52:33That we can have more complicated
00:52:35Conversations the smart people at NASA have sent me instructions on how to hack the rover so that it can talk to Pathfinder
00:52:42If I hack a tiny bit of code just 20 instructions in the rovers operating system
00:52:47NASA can link the rover to Pathfinders broadcasting frequency and we're in business
00:53:00Oh
00:53:08Mark this is Vincent Kapoor. We've been watching you since all 54
00:53:16The whole world is rooting for you
00:53:19amazing job getting Pathfinder
00:53:23We're working on rescue plans
00:53:25Meantime we're putting together a supply mission to keep you fed until Ares for arrives
00:53:55Okay, glad to hear it. We're looking forward to not dying
00:54:18How's the crew what did they say when they found out I was alive
00:54:26Yeah
00:54:43Guys can we get some space please? Hmm. Thank you. Just give me a sec
00:54:55You should tell
00:55:06No, we haven't told the crew you are alive yet
00:55:13We need them to concentrate on their mission
00:55:25You
00:55:42Okay, he says they don't know I'm alive what the f-word f-word in German form f-word again is wrong with you
00:55:50Oh
00:55:52Mark please watch your language
00:55:56Everything you type is being broadcast live all over the world
00:56:05Yeah
00:56:14Oh my god
00:56:17Yes, sir, he's under a tremendous amount of stress I
00:56:23Understand we're working on it. I'm sure he didn't mean what he said. Thank you. Mr. President
00:56:30Problem is Mark's right along the way the worst is gonna get
00:56:34We need to tell the crew you're bringing this up while Vincent is in Pasadena
00:56:38So he can't argue the other side. I shouldn't have to answer to Vincent or anyone else
00:56:43It's time Teddy
00:57:07Commander Lewis
00:57:12Go ahead data dump is almost complete copy that on my way
00:57:32You're in a hurry, yeah, I saw him turn three yesterday should be pictures of the party
00:57:42I
00:57:49Got a batch of personals
00:57:52dispatching them to your laptops now I
00:57:54Don't need to read Vogel's weird German fetish emails the telemetry updates. Hey, whatever does it for you, man? Oh
00:58:02There's a video message. It's it's addressed to the whole crew
00:58:06Play it. Come on guys. I
00:58:09Want to get in on that telemetry action?
00:58:12I
00:58:15Hello, it's Mitch Mitch Henderson, I have some news that's no subtle way to put this
00:58:23Mark what me is still alive. I
00:58:27Know that's a surprise and I know you'll have a lot of questions
00:58:31But here are the basics. He's he's alive and he's healthy. We we found out two months ago and
00:58:40I decided not to tell you two months. I was strongly against that decision
00:58:46we're telling you now because
00:58:49We finally have communication with him and a viable rescue plan
00:58:55Will give you a write-up of what happened a full write-up of everything, but it's not your fault
00:59:00Mark stresses that every time it comes out
00:59:04so
00:59:05Yeah
00:59:08Take some time to absorb this and
00:59:13Send all the questions you want. We'll answer them
00:59:17All right Henderson out
00:59:19Holy shit, he's alive. I
00:59:22Left him behind. No, no, we don't live together
00:59:26You were following orders
00:59:31I left him behind
00:59:38So
00:59:43Now that NASA can talk to me they won't shut up
00:59:45They want constant updates on every had system and they got a room full of people trying to micromanage my crops
00:59:52Which is awesome
00:59:55Look, I mean, I don't mean to sound arrogant or anything, but I am the greatest botanist on this planet. So oh
01:00:02Oh
01:00:03One big bonus to this communication with NASA again is the email
01:00:07I'm getting them again big data dumps like when I was on the Hermes I even got one from the president
01:00:12The coolest one though, the coolest one I got was from University of Chicago my alma mater
01:00:18They say that once you grow crops somewhere you've officially colonized it
01:00:24so
01:00:25technically I
01:00:27colonized Mars
01:00:33In your face Neil Armstrong, oh
01:00:36In other news, there's been a request for me to pose for a photograph on my next transmission
01:00:43I'm trying to figure out whether I should go with high school senior or
01:00:48Coquettish ingenue, but I'm not really sure how that's gonna look with my space suit on
01:01:02Oh
01:01:25What is he doing I asked for a photo and what he's the Fonz just be grateful we got you something Annie
01:01:31I can't use this Vincent and you know that I need a picture of his face
01:01:34Well, I could tell him to take off his helmet, but then he'd you know die
01:01:39We'll release the photo and we detail the rescue operation
01:01:42I want to announce we're launching some supplies to him next year during the home and transfer window gross your team still on schedule
01:01:49It'll be tight, but we'll make it nine month travel time that puts the probe to Mars on Sol
01:01:55868 did we get the botany team's analysis? Yeah, they estimate Mark's crops will last till Sol
01:02:00912 they grudgingly admit that he's he's doing great work
01:02:04Grudgingly. Well, yeah, Mark has a tendency to tell him to have sex with themselves whenever they question one of his decisions
01:02:09Get him in line Vincent. We can't afford any miscommunication. I hate this margin
01:02:14912 Sol's worth of food we get there on 868
01:02:18That's assuming nothing goes wrong
01:02:30I
01:03:00I
01:03:30Oxygen level
01:03:50Oxygen level 5%
01:04:00I
01:04:30I
01:05:00I
01:05:30I
01:06:00Stay
01:06:30Oh
01:06:32Oh
01:06:57Crops are dead
01:06:59Complete loss of pressure boiled off most of the water any bacteria that survived died in the subzero temperatures when exposed to Mars's atmosphere
01:07:07How long does he have?
01:07:10Well, you can still eat the potatoes he has he just can't grow anymore so
01:07:14get him
01:07:16200 Sol's
01:07:17Rations get him to what Sol 409. Mm-hmm. So with potatoes 609 so by Sol 868, he'll be long dead
01:07:25We're gonna have to launch as soon as possible which changes our travel time
01:07:30Yeah, we're working on it
01:07:33Prelim estimates call for a 414 day trip
01:07:37It's all 135 now. We need 13 days to mount the boosters perform inspections, which gives Bruce and his team
01:07:4747 days to make this problem. I'll let you call Bruce give him the news
01:07:55Okay
01:08:00I'm uh, I'm gonna need a change of clothes
01:08:12Dear mark
01:08:15Apparently
01:08:17Ness is letting us talk to you now
01:08:20And I
01:08:22Drew the short straw
01:08:26I
01:08:28Sorry, we left you behind Mars, but we just don't like you
01:08:37Also
01:08:38It's a lot roomier
01:08:40I'm Hermes without you
01:08:42We have to take turns doing your tasks
01:08:46but I mean
01:08:48It's only botany
01:08:51It's not real science
01:08:56How's Mars
01:09:01Dear Martinez
01:09:04Mars is fine. I
01:09:07Accidentally blew up the hab
01:09:09But unfortunately all of commander Lewis's disco music still survived
01:09:16But unfortunately all of commander Lewis's disco music still survived
01:09:21Every day I go outside and look at the vast horizons
01:09:26Every day I go outside and look at the vast horizons just because I can
01:09:32Just because I can
01:09:34tell the others I
01:09:36said hello
01:09:40We'll do buddy
01:09:50I
01:10:20I
01:10:50I
01:11:12Pressure stable
01:11:20I
01:11:50I
01:12:20I
01:12:32Rich
01:12:35Rich wake up
01:12:40Sorry, but they're asking for the probe courses what time is it sir before you to
01:12:51I know we're coming at this backwards, but we can't come into a firm launch date with this many unknowns
01:12:58It's alright, um
01:13:00All 25 models for launch will take 414 days to reach Mars. They vary slightly in restoration and the fuel requirement is nearly identical
01:13:08Good time to launch is it? Yeah, Earth and Mars are really badly positioned. Heck it almost be easier if you um
01:13:17Almost easier what
01:13:20animal
01:13:23You all right fine
01:13:30Almost easier what
01:13:43You do understand I'm your boss, right
01:13:51All right, let's ask the very very expensive question
01:13:55It's a probe going to be ready on time. We're behind. Give me a number 15 days 15 days and I can get it done
01:14:02All right, let's create 15 days 13 days to mount the probe. Can we reduce?
01:14:07It actually only takes three days to mount the probe and we can get that down to two
01:14:11All right, I can get it down to ten days if it tests inspections. How often do those inspections reveal a problem?
01:14:18Well, you're suggesting we don't do the inspections right now
01:14:21I'm asking how often they reveal a problem 1 in 20, but that's grounds for countdown halt
01:14:26Oh, I can't say that chance. Anyone else know a safer way to buy more time
01:14:34Dr. Keller stretch Watney's rations for more days. You're not gonna like it
01:14:37But that'll get us to 15 and we'll cancel the inspections up sir. If that ever got out it's on me
01:14:42You got your two weeks get it done
01:14:45So now I have to hold out until the probe gets here with more food
01:14:50you want to see what minimal calorie count looks like standard issue ration, but instead of
01:14:56Three of these every one day
01:14:58I'm now eating one of these every three days
01:15:04And now they've asked me
01:15:07To do that
01:15:09I
01:15:13Point is
01:15:16Stretch the rations four more days
01:15:19He's a real dick punch
01:15:23I'm uh, I'm gonna dip this potato in some crust if I get it
01:15:30Nobody can stop me
01:15:40I
01:15:42Has been seven days since I ran out of ketchup
01:16:09This is the flight director begin launch status check Roger that flight beginning launch status check you believe in God Vincent
01:16:18Yeah, now my father was a Hindu my mother's a Baptist, so yeah, I believe in sovereign
01:16:28Take all the help we can get
01:16:32This is flight we are go for launch proceeding with the count
01:16:408-7-6 main engine start 4 3 2 ignition 1
01:16:48Lift off
01:16:51Good trust
01:16:57Performance is nominal
01:17:09I
01:17:30We're getting a little shimmy flight say again, we are getting a very large procession are we good
01:17:39Flight it's hitting the red line spinning on the long axis around a 17 degree precession
01:17:44Launch or Sammy Forrest on irises 7g's. We've lost readings on the Pope flight
01:18:00We've lost it flight
01:18:05Satcon no satellite acquisition of signal
01:18:10my state
01:18:13LOS here to give us a short stock to reporting debris falling from the sky
01:18:21GC lock the doors
01:18:39You
01:18:52Commander Lewis, I may need you to do something for me
01:18:59If I die I
01:19:01Need you to check in my parents
01:19:05Don't want to hear all about our time here on Mars
01:19:09I know that sucks
01:19:12And it'll be hard talking to a couple
01:19:16about their dead son
01:19:19It's a lot to ask
01:19:24Which is what I'm asking you
01:19:27I'm not giving up. You just need to prepare for every outcome
01:19:36Please tell them
01:19:40Tell them I love what I do
01:19:46And I'm really good at it
01:19:50And I'm dying
01:19:54There's something big
01:19:58And beautiful
01:20:04And greater than me
01:20:07I said I can live with that
01:20:12And tell them
01:20:14Thank you for being my mom and dad
01:20:20We substituted protein cubes for the standard rations the thrust of the launch combined with the simultaneous lateral
01:20:28vibration liquefied the cubes and created
01:20:31An unbalanced load Vincent. Why wasn't this addressed in the inspections phase?
01:20:36In order to make our launch window, we were forced to accelerate our schedule
01:20:41They'll starve to death
01:20:45Of course, there are other ways
01:20:49Our engineers have checked the data of the Sun God's thruster
01:20:52Its capacity can reach the orbit of Mars
01:20:56Why didn't NASA come to us?
01:20:58Because they don't know
01:21:00Our data is top secret
01:21:03In other words
01:21:06If we don't do anything
01:21:08The world will never know
01:21:10In fact, we can help
01:21:13So it's just for argument
01:21:16If we decide to help them
01:21:18We give the thruster to them
01:21:20That is to cancel the Sun God project
01:21:23Then we will use the perspective of space to solve the problem
01:21:27Seeking cooperation
01:21:32Yes
01:21:34Yes, I understand
01:21:39Thank you
01:21:44Yes
01:21:46All right
01:21:48Thanks to my uncle Tommy in China
01:21:50We got another chance at this
01:21:52Now we finished the Iris probe in 62 days
01:21:54We are now gonna attempt to finish it in 28
01:22:0228 days later
01:22:23We can jettison any kind of landing system
01:22:25Only sending rations
01:22:27We can crash land on Mars
01:22:29You should hang up the phone
01:22:31I'm sorry, who are you?
01:22:33My name is Rich Parnell, I work in Astrodynamics
01:22:35And you should hang up the phone right now
01:22:38All right, all right
01:22:40I'm gonna call you back
01:22:42I know how to save Mark Watney
01:22:45Your pro-plan won't work
01:22:47Too many things can go wrong
01:22:49I've got a better way
01:22:50Astrodynamics
01:22:51Yeah
01:22:53What the hell is Project Elrond?
01:22:55I had to make something up
01:22:57But Elrond
01:22:59Means secret meeting
01:23:01How do you know that?
01:23:02Why does Elrond mean secret meeting?
01:23:04The Council of Elrond is from Lord of the Rings
01:23:07It's the meeting where they decide to destroy the one man
01:23:10I'm gonna call something Project Elrond
01:23:12I would like my code name to be Glorfindel
01:23:14Okay, I hate every one of you
01:23:16Well, Teddy doesn't even know about this yet
01:23:18I'm sorry, who are you?
01:23:20This is Rich Parnell, Astrodynamics
01:23:22Tell him what you just told me
01:23:24I can get the Hermes back to Mars by Sol 561
01:23:29How?
01:23:34Could you stand right there for me, please?
01:23:38Thanks
01:23:39Right there, great
01:23:41And could you stand right there?
01:23:43Right, right there
01:23:49Okay, let's pretend that this stapler is the Hermes
01:23:53And you are...
01:23:56I'm sorry, what's your name again?
01:23:57Teddy, I'm the Director of NASA
01:24:01Cool, Teddy, you're Earth
01:24:03And right now the Hermes is headed towards you
01:24:05Starting its month-long deceleration and intercept
01:24:08But instead, what I'm proposing is
01:24:15We start accelerating immediately
01:24:17To preserve velocity and gain even more
01:24:19We don't intercept with Earth at all
01:24:20But we come close enough to get a gravity assist and adjust course
01:24:24While we're doing that
01:24:28We resupply with the probe
01:24:30The Taiyang Shen
01:24:31Pick up whatever provisions we need
01:24:33And now we're accelerating towards Mars
01:24:37You're Mars
01:24:39Now we're going too fast at this point to fall into orbit
01:24:41But we can do a flyby
01:24:44Or could you flyby if we can't get Watney off the surface?
01:24:47Watney would intercept using the MAV
01:24:54And then we just head home
01:24:57Shh
01:25:01I've done the math
01:25:02It checks out
01:25:05Rich
01:25:06Yes, sir
01:25:07Get out
01:25:15Is he right?
01:25:16Yep
01:25:17Bruce, what do you think?
01:25:20Well, if Vincent says so
01:25:23We need to use the Taiyang Shen
01:25:25Uh-huh
01:25:26What am I missing? Why is that important?
01:25:28Because we can only do one
01:25:29Send Watney enough food to last till Ares IV
01:25:32Or send Hermes back to get him right now
01:25:34Both plans require the Taiyang Shen
01:25:36So we have to choose
01:25:38But what about the Hermes crew?
01:25:40We'd be asking them to add 533 extra days to their mission
01:25:44They wouldn't hesitate, not for a second
01:25:47Can the Hermes function for 533 days beyond the scheduled mission?
01:25:51It should
01:25:52Built to last the full Ares mission
01:25:54So technically it's only halfway through its lifespan
01:25:57But if something goes wrong
01:25:58Then we lose the crew
01:25:59So what?
01:26:00We either have a high chance of killing one person
01:26:03Or a low chance of killing six people
01:26:06How do we make that decision?
01:26:08We don't have to make it, Bruce
01:26:10He does
01:26:11Yeah, well, bullshit
01:26:12It should be Commander Lewis' call
01:26:15We still have a chance to bring five astronauts home safe and sound
01:26:18I'm not risking their lives
01:26:21Let them make that decision
01:26:23Mitch, we're going with option one
01:26:28You goddamn coward
01:26:48Johansson?
01:26:49Yeah
01:26:50I know it's your private time
01:26:52Can I bother you for a second?
01:26:53Yeah, go ahead
01:26:54Where are you?
01:26:55The gym
01:27:18What's up?
01:27:19I just got an email from my wife
01:27:20And the subject line says
01:27:22Our children
01:27:24My computer won't open the attachment
01:27:27Okay
01:27:29Let's take a look
01:27:36Let's see
01:27:39This isn't a JPEG
01:27:42It's a plain ASCII text file
01:27:46I don't really know what we're looking at
01:27:48It's...
01:27:50Does that make any sense to you?
01:27:53Rich Pernell maneuver
01:27:55It's a course maneuver for the Hermes
01:28:01My God
01:28:03The mission concludes with Earth intercept 211 days later
01:28:08Would it work?
01:28:10Mm-hmm
01:28:11We ran the numbers, they check out
01:28:13It's a brilliant course
01:28:15So, why all the cloak and dagger?
01:28:18Because it goes directly against NASA's decision
01:28:20Yeah
01:28:21If we do the maneuver, they'd have to send the supply ship where we die
01:28:24We have the opportunity to force their hand
01:28:29So, are we going to do it?
01:28:32If it was up to me, we'd already be on our way
01:28:34But it is though, isn't it?
01:28:36Up to you?
01:28:37Not this time
01:28:38This is something NASA expressly rejected
01:28:42We're talking about mutiny here, which is not a word that I take lightly
01:28:45So, we do this together or not at all
01:28:48And before you answer, consider the consequences
01:28:51If we mess up the supply rendezvous, we die
01:28:54If we mess up the Earth gravity assist, we die
01:28:57If we do everything perfectly, we add 533 days to our mission
01:29:04533 more days before we see our families again
01:29:08533 days of unplanned space travel where anything could go wrong
01:29:14If it's mission critical, we die
01:29:18Sign me up
01:29:19Alright, cowboy, slow down
01:29:21You and I, we're military
01:29:23Chances are, we go home, they'll court-martial us
01:29:25Oh yeah, there's that
01:29:26And for the rest of you guys, I guarantee they will never send you back up here again
01:29:30Good
01:29:31So, if we go for it, how would it work?
01:29:35I plot the course and execute it
01:29:37Remote override
01:29:38They could take over the Hermes for mission control
01:29:42Can you disable it?
01:29:44Hermes has four redundant flight computers, each connected to three redundant comm systems
01:29:49We can't shut down the comms because we'd lose telemetry and guidance
01:29:52And we can't shut down the computers because we need to run the ship
01:29:56I'd have to disable remote override on each system
01:29:59It's part of the OS, I'd have to jump over the code
01:30:01Okay, but like in English, what would that mean?
01:30:05I can do it
01:30:08Great
01:30:10Well, it has to be unanimous
01:30:13If we do this, there will be over 900 days of space
01:30:20That's more than enough space for one life, so...
01:30:24Yes
01:30:26I vote yes
01:30:30Let's go get him
01:30:34Yeah, Hanson?
01:30:36Yes
01:30:41Got an unscheduled status update from Hermes
01:30:44Roger, read it out
01:30:45Message reads, Houston, please be advised, Rich Parnell is a steely-eyed missile man
01:30:50What?
01:30:51Flight, guidance, Hermes is off course
01:30:54Capcom, advise Hermes they're drifting, guidance, get a correction ready
01:30:58Negative, Flight, it's not drift, leave adjusted course
01:31:01What the hell?
01:31:02Telemetry, any chance this is instrumentation failure?
01:31:05Negative, Flight
01:31:06Guidance, work out how long they can stay on this course before it's irreversible
01:31:10Working on that now, Flight
01:31:12Who's Rich Parnell?
01:31:14I don't know
01:31:15Will somebody find out who the hell Rich Parnell is?
01:31:18Annie will go before the media this morning and inform them of NASA's decision to reroute the Hermes to Mars
01:31:25Sounds like a smart move
01:31:28Considering the circumstances
01:31:30Whoever gave them the manoeuvre, they only passed along information
01:31:35The crew made the decision on their own
01:31:39You may have killed them, Mitch
01:31:43We're fighting the same war
01:31:45Every time something goes wrong, the world forgets why we fly
01:31:48I'm trying to keep us airborne
01:31:50It's bigger than one person
01:31:54No, it's not
01:31:57When this is over, I'll expect your resignation
01:32:04I understand
01:32:06Bring our astronauts home
01:32:11Every Ares mission requires three years of pre-supplies
01:32:14So NASA decided a long time ago it's a lot easier to send some of this stuff beforehand rather than bring it with us
01:32:20So, as a result, the MAV for Ares IV is already there at the Schiaparelli crater, just waiting
01:32:27So the plan is for me to use that to go into orbit
01:32:31Just as the Hermes is passing
01:32:34And I guess they catch me?
01:32:38In space
01:32:42So, I've got 200 souls to figure out
01:32:45How to take everything here that's keeping me alive
01:32:48The oxygenator, the water reclaimer, the atmospheric regulator
01:32:52Bring that all with me
01:32:54And luckily I have the greatest minds on planet Earth
01:32:58Really all of the brain power on the entire planet helping me with this endeavor
01:33:03And so far they've come up with
01:33:05Hey, why don't you drill holes in the roof of your rover and hit it as hard as you can with a rock?
01:33:10We're gonna get there
01:33:18We're gonna get there
01:33:28Thank you
01:33:49And the loud sounds that seemed to fight
01:33:54Came back like a slow voice on a wave of ice
01:33:59That one old DJ that was icy cosmetized
01:34:08There's a star man waiting in the sky
01:34:12533 days longer and you said yes to this?
01:34:16He would have done the same for me and you know that
01:34:18There's a star man waiting in the sky
01:34:23His love is not to notice
01:34:25Alright, look at me
01:34:26You do cheers
01:34:27Cheers
01:34:29You didn't do cheers, did you do cheers?
01:34:40Hey baby
01:34:41Hey
01:34:42I've got something for you
01:34:44Found it in the flea market
01:34:46Original person
01:34:49No
01:34:51Not a scratch
01:34:52I love it
01:34:54All due respect to your CNSA protocol
01:34:57We haven't done things that way since Apollo 9
01:35:03Did you get that?
01:35:04No
01:35:14If we can sparkle, we may land tonight
01:35:18I have to tell you what
01:35:20All you'll get is lots of intense
01:35:27There's a star man waiting in the sky
01:35:32He likes it when he does
01:35:34But he thinks you know I mind
01:35:37There's a star man waiting in the sky
01:35:42His toes are stuck to the window
01:35:45And he's telling his children
01:35:48He's telling his children
01:35:50He's telling his children he said
01:35:52That all the children
01:35:56There's a star man waiting in the sky
01:35:59He likes it when he does
01:36:01But he thinks you know I mind
01:36:03There's a star man waiting in the sky
01:36:08His toes are stuck to the window
01:36:11And he's telling his children
01:36:13He's telling his children
01:36:15He's telling his children
01:36:17He's telling his children
01:36:19He's telling his children
01:36:21He's telling his children
01:36:23He's telling his children
01:36:25He's telling his children
01:36:27He's telling his children
01:36:29He's telling his children
01:36:31He's telling his children
01:36:33He's telling his children
01:36:35He's telling his children

01:38:00EXPLOSION
01:38:02EXPLOSION
01:38:04I've been thinking about laws on Mars.
01:38:17There's an international treaty saying no country can lay claim to anything that's not
01:38:21on Earth.
01:38:22And by another treaty, if you're not in any country's territory, maritime law applies.
01:38:27So Mars is international waters.
01:38:31Now NASA is an American non-military organization.
01:38:34It owns the hab.
01:38:35But the second I walk outside, I'm in international waters.
01:38:38So here's the cool part.
01:38:40I'm about to leave for the Schiaparelli crater where I'm going to commandeer the Ares 4 lander.
01:38:43Nobody explicitly gave me permission to do this and they can't until I'm on board the
01:38:47Ares 4.
01:38:49So that means I'm going to be taking a craft over in international waters without permission.
01:38:54Which by definition, makes me a pirate.
01:38:59Mark Watney, Space Pirate.
01:39:04Spacepirate.
01:39:05Spacepirate.
01:39:07Spacepirate.
01:39:32Spacepirate.
01:39:36Spacepirate.
01:40:07Spacepirate.
01:40:09Spacepirate.
01:40:35Everywhere I go, I'm the first.
01:40:39It's a strange feeling.
01:40:41Step outside the rover, first guy to be there.
01:40:45Climb that hill, first guy to do that.
01:40:49Four and a half billion years, nobody here.
01:40:54And now, me.
01:40:58I'm the first person to be alone on an entire planet.
01:41:09How's he doing?
01:41:16So far, so good.
01:41:21He's sticking to schedule.
01:41:24Drives for four hours before noon, lays the solar panels, waits 13 hours for them to recharge
01:41:30and sleeps somewhere in there and then starts again.
01:41:36How's he doing?
01:41:39Uh, he asked us to call him Captain Blondebeard.
01:41:44Well, technically Mars would be under maritime...
01:41:46Yeah, no, I know. He explained it to us.
01:41:50Where is he?
01:41:52There.
01:41:53Okay.
01:41:54There.
01:41:55Okay.
01:42:05Okay.
01:42:06Okay.
01:42:35Okay.
01:42:36Okay.
01:42:37Okay.
01:42:38Okay.
01:42:39Okay.

01:43:07Okay.
01:43:08Okay.
01:43:09Okay.
01:43:10Okay.
01:43:11Okay.
01:43:12Okay.
01:43:13Okay.
01:43:14Okay.
01:43:15Okay.
01:43:16Okay.
01:43:17Okay.
01:43:18Okay.
01:43:19Okay.
01:43:20Okay.
01:43:21Okay.
01:43:22Okay.
01:43:23Okay.
01:43:24Okay.
01:43:25Okay.
01:43:26Okay.
01:43:27Okay.
01:43:28Okay.
01:43:29Okay.
01:43:30Okay.
01:43:31Okay.
01:43:32Okay.
01:43:33Okay.
01:43:34Okay.
01:43:43Okay.
01:43:44Uh.
01:43:45We are going to start by stating for the record that you are not going to like this.
01:43:46You are not going to like this.
01:43:47Oh yeah?
01:43:48Yeah the problem is the intercept velocity.
01:43:51The armies, well, they cant enter Mars orbit,
01:43:54Otherwise, they'll never have enough fuel to make it home.
01:43:57The MAV now is only designed to get to low Mars orbit.
01:44:02So in order for Mars to escape Mars' gravity entirely
01:44:06and to intercept the Hermes...
01:44:08It has to be going fast.
01:44:09Exactly.
01:44:10Which means we need to make the MAV lighter.
01:44:12A lot lighter. 5,000 kilograms lighter.
01:44:15Well, you can do that, right?
01:44:16Well, there's some gimmies right off the bat.
01:44:18The design presumes 500 kilograms of Martian soil and samples.
01:44:22Obviously, we won't do that.
01:44:23And there's just one passenger instead of six.
01:44:27With suits and gear, that's another 500.
01:44:30Digitalized support. Don't need it.
01:44:32And we'll get Mark to wear his EVA suit for the whole trip.
01:44:35If he's in his EVA suit, how's he going to operate the controls?
01:44:37Well, he won't.
01:44:39Martinez will pilot the MAV remotely from the Hermes.
01:44:44We've never had a manned ship controlled remotely before.
01:44:48But I am excited about the opportunities that that affords.
01:44:52If we go remote, we can lose the control panels,
01:44:55the secondary tertiary comms systems.
01:44:57Wait a second.
01:44:58You want a remote-controlled ascent with no backup comms?
01:45:04He's not even got to the bad stuff yet.
01:45:06Well, let's skip to the bad stuff.
01:45:08We need to remove the nose airlock, the windows, and hull panel 19.
01:45:14You want to take the front of the ship off?
01:45:16Sure.
01:45:17The nose airlock alone is 400 kilograms.
01:45:20You want to send a man into space without the front of his ship?
01:45:22Well, no.
01:45:25We're going to have him cover it with cab canvas.
01:45:29Look, the hull's mostly there to keep the air in.
01:45:32Mars's atmosphere is so thin, you don't need a lot of streamlining.
01:45:36By the time the ship's going fast enough for air resistance to matter,
01:45:39it'll be high enough that there's practically no air.
01:45:42You want to send him into space under a tarp?
01:45:45Yes.
01:45:47Can I go on?
01:45:48No.
01:45:56You think he means it like,
01:45:59Are you kidding me?
01:46:01You know?
01:46:02Or like,
01:46:04Are you kidding me?
01:46:06I think it might be the second one.
01:46:08Really?
01:46:10Could be the first one.
01:46:12Are you kidding me?
01:46:14Yeah, it could be the first one.
01:46:18I don't know.
01:46:41I know what they're doing.
01:46:44And I know exactly what they're doing.
01:46:46They just keep repeating,
01:46:48Go faster than any man in the history of space travel.
01:46:51Like that's a good thing.
01:46:52Like it'll distract me from how insane their plan is.
01:46:56Yeah, you have to go faster than any man in the history of space travel.
01:47:00Because you're launching me in a convertible.
01:47:03Actually, it's worse than that because I won't even be able to control the thing.
01:47:07By the way,
01:47:08physicists,
01:47:09when describing things like acceleration,
01:47:12do not use the word fast.
01:47:14So,
01:47:15they're only doing that in the hopes that I won't raise any objections
01:47:20to this lunacy.
01:47:23Because I like the way fastest man in the history of space travel sounds.
01:47:29I do like the way it sounds.
01:47:32I mean, I like it a lot.
01:47:37I'm not gonna tell them that.
01:47:45Okay.
01:47:48Let's do this.
01:48:14Come on.
01:48:44Come on.
01:49:14Come on.
01:49:44Come on.
01:50:15Come on.
01:50:21Beck, Vogel,
01:50:22I want you guys in airlock two
01:50:24with the outer door open before the MAV even launches.
01:50:26Okay.
01:50:27Martinez flies the MAV.
01:50:29Johansson sysops the ascent.
01:50:31Once we hit intercept,
01:50:33it's Beck's job to go get Watney.
01:50:35We're ready.
01:50:36What's the intercept plan?
01:50:38We finished attaching the tethers into one long line.
01:50:41It's 214 meters long.
01:50:43I'll have the MAV, so moving around should be easy.
01:50:45How fast relative velocity can you handle?
01:50:48I can grab the MAV at five meters per second.
01:50:51Ten is like jumping onto a moving train,
01:50:53so any more than that and I might miss.
01:50:55Well, we may have some leeway.
01:50:59The launch takes 12 minutes,
01:51:01and it'll be 52 minutes before intercept.
01:51:04Once Mark's engine shuts off,
01:51:06we'll know our intercept point and velocity.
01:51:09Vogel, you're Beck's backup.
01:51:11Everything goes well, you pull them on board with the tether.
01:51:14If anything goes wrong, you go out after them.
01:51:17Yep.
01:51:18Okay.
01:51:21Let's go get our boy.
01:51:41Okay.
01:52:12There's a mood of tension and anxiety here outside Johnson Space Center.
01:52:16As you can see, many people have gathered here
01:52:18to see whether or not the mission to retrieve Mark Watney will be a success.
01:52:23Remember, they've had some contact with him, but it hasn't been very much.
01:52:27We have to remind our viewers that Mark Watney's mission is a success.
01:52:31Mark Watney's mission is a success.
01:52:33Mark Watney's mission is a success.
01:52:35Mark Watney's mission is a success.
01:52:37We've had some contact with him, but it hasn't been very much.
01:52:40We have to remind our viewers that we're watching this as it unfolds.
01:52:44So we'll try and keep you up to date as to what exactly is going on.
01:52:47Let's listen in to NASA making contact with Mark Watney.
01:52:51Let's listen in.
01:52:59If something goes wrong, what can Mission Control do?
01:53:02Not a damn thing.
01:53:04It's all happening 12 light minutes away,
01:53:06which means it takes 24 minutes for them to get the answer to any question they ask.
01:53:11The whole launch is 12 minutes, so they're on their own.
01:53:37Mission Control, this is Mark Watney.
01:53:41We've lost contact with Mark Watney.
01:53:43We've lost contact with Mark Watney.
01:53:45We've lost contact with Mark Watney.
01:53:47We've lost contact with Mark Watney.
01:53:49We've lost contact with Mark Watney.
01:53:51We've lost contact with Mark Watney.
01:53:53We've lost contact with Mark Watney.
01:53:55We've lost contact with Mark Watney.
01:53:57We've lost contact with Mark Watney.
01:53:59We've lost contact with Mark Watney.
01:54:01We've lost contact with Mark Watney.
01:54:04Today, the world is focusing on the rescue action in Beijing and other countries around the world.
01:54:14The rescue has become possible because the CISC...
01:54:21...has been completely alone on Mars...
01:54:23...talking to a psychology expert later in the discussion.
01:54:33We are ready for pre-flight checklist, Commander.
01:55:01Ground control, this is Hermes Actual. We will proceed on schedule.
01:55:05We have T-minus two minutes, ten seconds to launch. By the mark.
01:55:10About two minutes, Watney. How you doing down there?
01:55:12I'm good. I'm anxious to get up to you. Thanks for coming back for me.
01:55:18Well, we're on it. Remember, you'll be pulling some serious G's, so it's okay to pass out.
01:55:23You're in Martinez's hands now.
01:55:25Well, tell that asshole no barrel rolls.
01:55:29Copy that, Mav.
01:55:31Capcom. Go.
01:55:33Remote command. Go.
01:55:35Recovery. Go.
01:55:37Secondary recovery. Go.
01:55:40Pilot. Go.
01:55:43Pilot. Go.
01:55:46Copy. We're go.
01:55:48Mission control, we are go for launch.
01:55:51T-minus ten. Nine.
01:55:53Main engine start.
01:55:55Eight. Seven.
01:55:58Engine clamps released.
01:55:59About five seconds, Watney. Hang on.
01:56:01See you in a few, Commander.
01:56:03Four. Three. Two. One.
01:56:29Go.
01:56:45Velocity 741 meters per second. Altitude 1350 meters.
01:56:49That's too low.
01:56:51It's fighting me.
01:56:54Watney. Do you read?
01:57:04Booster separation complete.
01:57:06Velocity 850. Altitude 1843. He's well below target altitude.
01:57:10How far below?
01:57:12Checking.
01:57:14Watney. Do you read?
01:57:17He's probably passed out. He pulled 12 G's on the ascent. Give him a few minutes.
01:57:21Copy that.
01:57:23Verify that we had a good communication link. I know you're telling me.
01:57:25Main shutdown in three. Two. One. Shutdown.
01:57:32Back to automatic guidance. Shutdown confirmed.
01:57:38Fuel reserves depleted.
01:57:42Watney. Do you read?
01:57:45It seems there's some sort of problem with the transmission.
01:57:52I have interval pings.
01:57:55Intercept velocity will be 11 meters per second.
01:57:58I can make that work.
01:58:00Distance at intercept will be 68 kilometers apart.
01:58:0568 kilometers? Did she just say 68 kilometers?
01:58:10Come on, guys. Keep it together. Work the problem.
01:58:13Johansen. Time to intercept.
01:58:1539 minutes, 12 seconds.
01:58:1839 minutes, 12 seconds.
01:58:20Martinez?
01:58:22What if we point our thrusters in the same direction?
01:58:24Well, it depends how much fuel you want to save for the altitude adjustments for the trip home.
01:58:28How much do you need?
01:58:30I can get by with about 20% of what we have left.
01:58:34If we use 75.5% of remaining altitude adjust fuel, that'll bring the intercept range to zero.
01:58:40Do it.
01:58:42Hang on. It brings the range to zero, but the intercept velocity will be 42 meters per second.
01:58:48And that's way too fast.
01:58:50Then we'll have 39 minutes to figure out how to slow down.
01:58:57Martinez, burn the jets.
01:58:59Copy that.
01:59:13Mag to Hermes.
01:59:1520.
01:59:17Affirmative.
01:59:23What's your status?
01:59:25My chest hurts. I broke my ribs. How are you?
01:59:31We're working on getting to you. There was a complication during launch.
01:59:34Copy that.
01:59:36Well, how bad is it?
01:59:38Well, we've corrected the intercept range, but we've got a problem with intercept velocity.
01:59:41How big a problem?
01:59:4342 meters a second.
01:59:45Well...
01:59:47Shit.
01:59:53Commander, I have an idea.
01:59:55Go ahead, Mark.
01:59:57Well, if I can help it, I can help it.
02:00:01Commander, I have an idea.
02:00:03Go ahead, Mark.
02:00:05Well, I could find something sharp in here and poke a hole in the glove of my EVA suit.
02:00:11I could use the escaping air as a thruster and fly it towards you.
02:00:15It would be easy to control, because it'd be on my arm.
02:00:18I can't see you having any control if you did that.
02:00:20You'd be eyeballing the intercept. Using a thrust vector, you can barely control.
02:00:24Yes, yes. Those are all very good points.
02:00:28But, consider this.
02:00:33I'd get to fly around like Iron Man.
02:00:37Commander, let's go Iron Man.
02:00:44This is unexpected, but nonetheless...
02:00:46Communication lost. Stand by.
02:00:48Maybe it's not the worst idea.
02:00:51No, it is the worst idea. It's the worst idea ever.
02:00:53Not what he said. Using atmosphere as thrust.
02:00:58What happens if we blow the valve?
02:01:00You want to open the vehicular airlock?
02:01:02It'll give us a good kick.
02:01:03Yeah, but it'll also blow the nozzle off the ship.
02:01:05And all the air would leave, and we'd need air to not die.
02:01:08We would seal the bridge and the reactor room. Everywhere else would go vacuum.
02:01:13Vogel?
02:01:14Go ahead, Commander.
02:01:15I need you to come inside and make a bomb.
02:01:18Again, Commander?
02:01:20You're a chemist. Can you make a bomb with what you have on board?
02:01:24Probably.
02:01:27But I feel obliged to mention that setting up an explosive device in a spacecraft is a terrible, terrible idea.
02:01:34Hang on, you guys making a bomb without me?
02:01:37Copy that. Can you do it?
02:01:41Yeah.
02:01:45Houston, be advised. We are going to deliberately breach the valve to produce a reverse thrust.
02:01:51Beck, leave your suit on. Meet Johansson in airlock one.
02:01:54Vogel, open the outer door. I need you to place the charge on the inner door.
02:01:57Climb back to airlock two along the hull.
02:01:59Copy. I'm on my way.
02:02:08I'm in, Commander.
02:02:10Cover them.
02:02:20Vogel? Where are you?
02:02:22I'm in the kitchen.
02:02:23Okay.
02:02:28Commander, I can't let you go through with this. I am prepared to cut the suit.
02:02:33Absolutely not.
02:02:34Well, see, the thing is, I'm selfish. I want all the memorials back home to be about me. Just me.
02:02:41I should have left this guy on Mars.
02:02:47Sugar?
02:02:48Yeah.
02:02:54Can you hold this?
02:02:56Liquid oxygen and some stain remover. That contains ammonia.
02:03:05This thing here is five times stronger than a stick of dynamite.
02:03:10How do we activate it?
02:03:11Can you connect this to one of your lighting panels?
02:03:18Careful.
02:03:24Open airlock one.
02:03:32I'm on the way to Beck.
02:03:38Let's just hope this is a good idea, guys.
02:03:40It is. Open A1.
02:03:42Okay.
02:03:53Got it?
02:04:00Make sure you're not in here when this thing goes off.
02:04:05Hey, be careful out there. I'm spaced.
02:04:13Don't tell anyone I did that.
02:04:25Bomb's set.
02:04:35Leaving airlock one.
02:04:42Guys, I'm running the numbers, and even with optimal valve blow, we're gonna be off on our angle.
02:04:47What's the intercept distance?
02:04:49Johansson?
02:04:50Two hundred and sixty meters, approximate.
02:04:52That's too far.
02:05:02Commander.
02:05:04Martinez, close the door.
02:05:09Open D3.
02:05:11And leave it open.
02:05:41Open B2.
02:05:47Johansson, time to valve blow after initiate.
02:05:51Fifteen seconds.
02:05:53Be sure not to cut it close.
02:05:55Commander.
02:05:57Distance is too far. I'm going out.
02:05:59I can do this.
02:06:01It's not a debate. I'm not risking another crew member.
02:06:04Beck's returned. Johansson, initiate the bomb.
02:06:07Ten seconds.
02:06:09Strap in.
02:06:10Five.
02:06:12Four.
02:06:14Three.
02:06:15Brace for deceleration.
02:06:16Two.
02:06:17One.
02:06:18Activating panel 41.
02:06:41Bridge's still holding.
02:06:42What's the damage?
02:06:43Worry about that later. What's the relative velocity?
02:06:46Twelve meters per second.
02:06:48Copy.
02:06:52Hook me up.
02:06:54Done.
02:07:05I have visual on the Mav.
02:07:08What's the intercept range?
02:07:10I'm checking.
02:07:12312 meters.
02:07:14Did you say 312?
02:07:16Great. I'll wave at you guys as I go by.
02:07:28I can't get to you, Mark. You're too far.
02:07:30I'm not gonna make it.
02:07:32I know.
02:07:33Beck, unhook me. I'm going after him.
02:07:35Commander, I got this.
02:07:38Yeah.
02:07:51Mark, report.
02:07:53On my way, Commander.
02:07:55Damn it.
02:07:58No!
02:08:06Johanson, what's my relative velocity to Mark?
02:08:095.2 meters per second.
02:08:11Copy. Adjusting course.
02:08:183.1 meters per second.
02:08:22Distance to target 24 meters.
02:08:2611 meters to target.
02:08:31Six meters.
02:08:43Hold on, Mark.
02:08:55Come on.
02:09:13I got him.
02:09:17I got him.
02:09:19I got him.
02:09:21Way to go, Iron Man.
02:09:25Beck, pull us in.
02:09:29It's good to see you.
02:09:32You...
02:09:35have terrible taste in music.
02:09:48Houston, this is Hermes Actual.
02:09:51We got him.
02:09:53Rodney is secured.
02:09:55Dash! Dash! Dash!
02:10:00Contact in outer space with Mark Watt.
02:10:03After a very long time, they have done what many people thought was impossible.
02:10:07Official confirmation. Mark Wattley has been successfully rescued.
02:10:14Grab a hold of him.
02:10:18Hey, handsome.
02:10:20Beck, close the hatch.
02:10:24Hey, guys.
02:10:30Houston, six crew, safely aboard.
02:10:37This is a huge moment for this nation, for the world, and indeed, for international space travel.
02:10:43I can't believe anything you do, Mark.
02:10:46Hey!
02:10:48Hi!
02:10:50Oh, God.
02:10:53There's a little snow going on over there, bud.
02:10:56I haven't had a shower in a year.
02:10:59Don't make me laugh.
02:11:24Hey, there.
02:11:38Come here, sir. Come here, sir.
02:11:40Sir.
02:11:42Sir.
02:11:44Morning, sir.
02:11:46Morning.
02:11:48Morning.
02:11:50Morning, sir.
02:11:52Morning.
02:12:14Welcome to the Astronaut Candidate Program.
02:12:17Now, pay attention, because this could save your life.
02:12:21Trust me, I know what I'm talking about.
02:12:23All right, let me get a few things out of the way, right off the bat.
02:12:26Yes, I did, in fact, survive on a deserted planet by farming in my own shit.
02:12:32Yes, it's actually worse than it sounds, so let's not talk about that ever again.
02:12:37The other question I get most frequently is,
02:12:41when I was up there, stranded by myself, did I think I was going to die?
02:12:46Yes, absolutely.
02:12:50And that's when you need to know going in, because it's going to happen to you.
02:12:53This is space.
02:12:55It does not cooperate.
02:12:57At some point, everything's going to go south on you.
02:13:00Everything's going to go south, and you're going to say, this is it.
02:13:03This is how I end.
02:13:06Now, you can either accept that, or you can get to work.
02:13:11That's all it is.
02:13:13You just begin.
02:13:16You do the math.
02:13:17You solve one problem, and you solve the next one, and then the next.
02:13:22And if you solve enough problems, you get to come home.
02:13:26All right.
02:13:27Questions.
02:13:33Once Mission Control completes their preflight checks, we'll begin launch procedures.
02:13:38The Ares V team will rendezvous with the Hermes approximately 48 minutes after launch.
02:13:43From there, they will have 414 days of space travel ahead of them.
02:13:47Have the goals changed from the previous mission to the Ares V program,
02:13:51and what do you hope to achieve this time around?
02:13:54Well, no, the goals have always been the same for the Ares program.
02:13:58This time, of course, we hope to bring all the astronauts back at the same time.
02:14:02Flight guidance check complete.
02:14:04Copy guidance.
02:14:05This is flight.
02:14:07We are go for launch on schedule.
02:14:09Everything looks good.
02:14:10Matching our expectations.
02:14:11ADAC also in limits.
02:14:13That is correct.
02:14:14Comp checks are good.
02:14:15This is Austin.
02:14:16Benford is being passed away.
02:14:18Final aero surface checks are complete,
02:14:21as everything remains a goal for the launch of the Ares V.
02:14:2520 seconds.
02:14:27Proceeding with the count.
02:14:29T-minus 10, 9, main engine start,
02:14:337, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.
02:14:41And liftoff as the crew of the Ares V begin the next chapter of American space exploration.
02:14:49Pressure's lifted.
02:14:51Woo-hoo!
02:15:09Wow. Good shot.
02:15:11There you have it.
02:15:12Five years after the rescue of astronaut Mark Watney,
02:15:15the Ares V is on its way to Mars.
02:15:18Okay, we can do it.
02:15:19Yeah.
02:15:20Woo-hoo!
02:15:21Go!
02:15:22Go!
02:15:23Let's go!
02:15:24Go!
02:15:25Woo-hoo!
02:15:26Woo-hoo!
02:15:27Let's do this.
02:15:28Yeah!
02:15:29Yes!
02:15:30Woo-hoo!
02:15:31Let's go!
02:15:34Woo-hoo!
02:15:35Woo-hoo!
02:15:36Woo-hoo!
02:15:37There's a calling, won't you give a word?
02:15:42Just drink, don't eat, just drink
02:15:47Drink, drink, drink, drink
02:15:50Drink, drink, drink, drink
02:15:53Drink, drink, drink, drink
02:16:08At first I was afraid, I was petrified
02:16:13Kept thinking I could never live without you by my side
02:16:17But then I spent so many nights
02:16:20Thinking how you did me wrong
02:16:22And I grew strong
02:16:24And I learned how to get along
02:16:26And saw your back from out of space
02:16:29I just walked in to find you here
02:16:32With that sad look upon your face
02:16:34I should have changed that stupid lock
02:16:36I should have made you leave your key
02:16:38If I'd have known for just one second
02:16:41You'd be back to bother me
02:16:43Oh now go, walk out the door
02:16:46Just turn around now
02:16:48Cause you're not welcome anymore
02:16:51Weren't you the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye?
02:16:55You think I crumbled?
02:16:57You think I laid down and died?
02:16:59Oh no, not I
02:17:01I will survive
02:17:03Oh as long as I know how to love
02:17:06I know I'll feel alive
02:17:08I've got all my life to live
02:17:10I've got all my love to give
02:17:12I'll survive
02:17:14I will survive
02:17:16Hey, hey
02:17:19Oh now go, walk out the door
02:17:23Just turn around now
02:17:26Cause you're not welcome anymore
02:17:29Weren't you the one who tried to break me with goodbye?
02:17:33You think I crumbled?
02:17:35You think I laid down and died?
02:17:38Oh no, not I
02:17:40I'll survive
02:17:42I'll survive
02:17:44I'll survive
02:17:47You think I laid down and died?
02:17:49Oh no, not I
02:17:51I will survive
02:17:53Oh as long as I know how to love
02:17:55I know I'll feel alive
02:17:57I've got all my life to live
02:17:59I've got all my love to give
02:18:01I'll survive
02:18:03I will survive
