And because of “The Martian”, people think going to and living on Mars would be a snap.

We can’t even rescue people from orbit.

Yes, because the movie is all about how easy it was and nothing goes wrong

The movie WAS FICTION. Is fiction. Will remain fiction. Mars is less “human friendly” than the moon.

They’re not really in need of rescue though, they’re on the ISS. Their return vehicle is just a pile of garbage. Thanks again, Boeing.

They’re literally stranded in space with no way home, sounds like they need rescuing to me.

It’s FICTION. Not real. Never happened. All events portrayed in this movie aren’t real.

It is good fiction - possibly the best sci-fi movie to come along in a while, but nevertheless it’s still fiction.

That would potentially poison him. Human, dog, cat, and generally any carnivore/ omnivore shit is considered “hot,” and must be treated before use as manure.

Yeah they reference this in the book, it’s always from him when he uses the bacteria (meaning in theory it’s only his own pathogens or bacteria). He uses his crews shit that’s been dried and left in Martian temperatures so it’s sterilised.

Treated how?

The perchlorates in the Martian regolith he uses for most of the soil would kill him faster.
