>>219457547 guess ill have make a sentence with less chromosomes than the potato battery powering this thread at least watney had to solve actual problems instead of fighting his autocorrect and losing
>I'M GOING TO TEAR YOUR CLOTHES OFF AND SCIENCE YOU SO HARD YOU WON'T WALK STRAIGHT FOR A MONTHWhat was the screenwriter thinking?
>>219456788I like the part where he inhales his own feces
>>219456788Did either the book or the movie address the fact that the lack of atmosphere on mars makes the surface a radioactive deathtrap that would kill any human before a crop of potatoes could possibly germinate?Or the fact that the radiation would kill the potatoes too?
>>219460325mmm, potatoes
>>219456788Why didn't he ration his ketchup? He squirted like half the bottle in one meal
>>219460325In the book the radiation creates giant monster potatoes that he has to fight
>>219460325no way of ever knowing
>>219460325SHUT UUUUP! IF I WANT POTATOES ON MARS THERE'LL BE POTATOES ON MARS
>>219460325>the lack of atmosphere on mars makes the surface a radioactive deathtrapYou're confusing atmosphere with magnetosphere. It has extremely limited protection from solar radiation not from the low atmospheric pressure, but because it doesn't have a consistent global magnetic field.I don't remember the book addressing it at all. Any colonies on Mars would have to be started in the southern hemisphere under local magnet umbrella zones that will have much lower average radiation levels.And the exposure levels in rads over time wouldn't curb plant growth. But they will give the people trying to live outside those zones long term health problems. Being there for 2 to 4 years wouldn't be any more dangerous than being in a spacecraft for the same amount of time. You would have a high rate of birth defects after a generation or two though.
>>219456788>potatoes ?
