This movie. . . has ALL the feels.

Was there anything wrong with it?

NO!

SHADDUP!

I suggest you all watch it.

The film The Martian has been a real hit for NASA public relations, science communicators, and geek bloggers worldwide. The story of how astronaut Mark Watney, stranded on the Red Planet, survives by overcoming a series of science problems provides an ideal opportunity to talk about all sort of physics, chemistry, biology and space tech. From discussing the inaccuracies in the film or arguing

Six days ago, astronaut Mark Watney became one of the first people to walk on Mars.

Now, he’s sure he’ll be the first person to die there.

To tell you guys the truth my expectations was a bit low for this movie. It just that the last time I saw a movie that deal with space "drama) ( not on the line of Sci-fiction but more "realistic science")was 'Gravity', let just say it was really boring and just leave it at that. Anyways, I thought the same for The Martian but was proven wrong ( maybe it have to with the writing being so much better than Gravity.). But it is definitely a must see! And that i am going to say about it before I

Yes, here we are again, with another random...

Wait. This one is not about a game? Even worse, it's not even about something free? Nyerguds, what are you doing? Stahp!

Nope. Still doing it! Here's Andy Weir's "The Martian"! Why? Because SCIENCE!

Spoiler Free Summary

Brother is an excellent story about Big Mac’s commitment to family. It has strong prose that tilts a little toward grandiose from time to time, but is overall well done.

Has anybrony written The Maretian, starring Carrot Top as a plucky astronaut stranded on Equestria's nearest celestial neighbor, forced to grow her favorite vegetables to survive?

If not, and if I have any cachet left in the fandom, I'm throwing it all behind begging someone to write this so I can read it.

You heard correctly: On the morning of Saturday, October 7th, the Sponish rocket Miura I successfully reached space. It seems that, eventually, the Martians will eat paella and drink gazpacho. 😋

Holy crap, my heart. That episode. I... I... can't...

I'm a little bit in shock right now. Season 5 is just so... progressive? Not the implication I'm looking for, but the best definition.

Still no screencaps. Going back to the episode and combing it for frames is the last thing I want to do right now. Spoilers ahead, of course. Drop what you're doing and watch this thing if you haven't already. Jeez.

Potatoes and Space Travel. Two things that very few people would associate with each other. At least that is until a few years ago when published an interesting book about a marooned astronaut that wound up becoming a best seller and later, a highly popular film.

I speak, of course, about The Martian starring Matt Damon with the story written by Andy Weir.

Wow what a relief to see a movie that's actually good again...

So, anyways, after much procrastination, I've finally managed to see Ridley Scott's populist science fiction flick, The Martian, which proves to be an unabashedly unpretentious and entertaining film.

I always feel as though I waste far too much of my time on frivolous things – primarily, watching the news. I think, this weekend, I will try to avoid the news – try to avoid stupid, frivolous, wasteful things, and actually try and do things that make me feel good in the long term, instead of fritter away my time.

We’ll see if I can succeed.

I went to see the movie "The Martian" today. I waited through the credits, hoping for an after-credit-scene —— ¡no after-credits-scene! When the credits were finished, a teenager was in the theater cleaning it. She asked whether she should make this her free-movie-of-the-week. I said yes. This went into a conversation about the movie and this ended up talking about the sad fact that we lack the political will to go to Mars, which brought up politics of Project Apollo and how we wanted
