It's not mentioned in the movie, but in the book, each member of the crew had a secondary role. Mark was the back-up mechanical engineer, which is why he had the knowledge to do what he did

One last Martian trivia: in “The Expanse” books one of the ships is named the “mark watney” placing the Martian and the expanse in the same universe (confirmed jokingly by the authors)

<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TvfsxedvWo4&t=281">4:41</a> the alarm is for his oxygen, but not what you might assume. <br>In the novel, it goes into detail about how these suits would work. They have an air supply, and use CO2 absorbers to scrub the air for as long as possible. Over time, those sponges reach saturation, and so to avoid suffocation, the suit bleeds old air out, and backfills with the nitrogen mix. Eventually though, that nitrogen runs out, and oxygen is all the suit has left to use. For a man being stranded on an airless planet, Mark Watney was at risk of dying from oxygen poisoning.

"Either my suit is leaking or there are snakes in here. Either way I'm in trouble." The book is just as good as the movie. One of my all-time favorites

The book started out as a weekly blog where he’d write a chapter at a time as if he was Watney writing entries and then people at nasa and other rocket scientists and astronomers would submit notes on what to improve so he’d edit as he goes and then compiled the blogs into a book

You guys are correct about things missing in Martian soil, something else they cut from the book, and why Mark couldn't rebuild the potato farm. They had actually brought soil from Earth for his experiments, which held all the stuff needed for growth. He used a kind of mixture so the soil could be capable for growing, but he had to use it all. So when the flash freeze kills the crops, it kills all the useful bacteria and such, making it impossible to grow more.

This is a movie that NEEDS to be shown in schools across the world. To show kids that with nearly any problem you can solve it by doing what Mark says, “Science the shit out of it.”<br><br>Also I freaking love that Sean Bean aka Boromir was in this movie for the “Council of Elrond” scene.🤣🤣

Mark crying was actually in the script, however both Ridley and Damon thought Damon’s performance felt forced. So without telling him Ridley started playing the lines from the cast through the headset. Damon hearing the voices of his friends and the special effects of the launch allowed him to really understand how Mark would have felt and he started crying

I've said it before, but I'll say it again, I love that these big guys with beards just cry when they get overwhelmed with emotion. It's such a good example of men not bottling up "weakness" or whats perceived as such. Just good friends handing each other tissues and fully taking in the emotions Matt Damon so wonderfully acted out. It shows these guys are really watching and grasping the movies intent, instead of how some reactors just watch things on a surface level.
