If you liked the movie, I'll bet you didn't notice this the first time you watched it.I gotta tell you, my grasp of orbital mechanics is at Kerbal levels, but that was enough that it ruined major portions of Gravity for me.It would have been better if the movie (like Interstellar) hadn't been promoted as scientifically accurate when there was obviously no real intention to make it so. The increasing human population is linked to environmental problems of gigantic proportion. But fundamentally scriptwriters and directors get too caught up with the story to realize how much those inconsistencies drag people out of the story.I hope they start realizing how much audiences value scientific sincerity and internal consistency.A long time ago, we had what I'm going to call, "hard science fiction." In the back of these fictional works were a bunch of appendices which included, frequently, the actual maths involved in their story telling. Then you have to rinse it to remove the extra salts. from My dad has some Norwegian ancestry, and one day when my parents were visiting we were all watching "How to Train your Dragon" with the kids. Posted It is common for a botanist to become very specialised in their area of work. I have mixed feelings about that, haha.How he eats *IS* addressed in the film. I don't feel like my intelligence was insulted after having watched/read it, or that errors and omissions were a result of laziness or "the audience is too dumb/doesn't care anyway, so why bother".
But did you know these same vegetables also can be grown in space? First you have to bake the regolith to break down the perchlorates. (Is there really no spoiler tag here? We also accept other changes to reality that logically follow from the one we're choosing to accept, but there's no reason why the existence of a man who can talk to animals would be expected to affect a court's decision about conflicts of intereAndy Weir, in the Nerdette podcast, called it the Uncanny Valley effect applied to fiction. It's toxic. For the soil, studies have shown that, in least in simulated versions, Martian soil can sprout plants. Image credit: NASA The harvested Mizuna sample kit is stored in a frozen return lab at Kennedy Space Center, Fla., hours after landing aboard space shuttle Discovery in April. The comedian responded with "Did you miss the part 5 minutes ago where they had a talking alligator? The light was, pardon the pun, the most glaring problem.Unlike a lot of other "science fiction" books/stories, Andy Weir seemed to make a genuine effort to get as much right as possible, and did his best to drag along the film producer. "How would he get enough light for his plants? Wouldn't take much for them to get carried away.Well not exactly.
According to a book I read about Hawaii, an industrious land owner treated car wrecks with sulfuric acid to supply the soil with more iron in order to grow more pineapples.The movie took lots of liberties and simplified (or eliminated) many of the detailed explanations in the book. No new comments can be posted. When Dr. Doolittle's wife offered to defend him in a court case, the lawyer wife said "That would never happen in real life, the court would never let a spouse represent a defendant".
The difficulty is that it’s part of a perchlorate brine that would likely kill off whatever plants it touched. (Although the book was better than the movie in that regard.) With some work, which Damon's character does in the film, it is not inconceivable for someone with sufficient botanical skill to accomplish what he does... (although I do suspect it would take more effort than what the film depicted).Nutrient deficiency would not be a problem. Every Si-Fi Movie I've seen in my lifetime had assumptions or plot devices which where hopelessly impossible based on known physics.Not to mention Sandra Bullock looking impossibly good floating around in her underwear.I mean, come on... she's 51, and I chubbed up like she was a 20 year old.>My favorite example was "Gravity" where orbital dynamics where simply ignored wholesale, mainly because what would take weeks/months/years to develop in reality, needed to happen on much shorter time frames for the sake of the story. If all of science fiction was at this level, it would be a miracle. In the book Watney explained that he had live soil that he used to "seed" the compost/dirt mixture.But those nitpicking details could be crucial in real life.Sustainability is a popular subject taught in western public schools and based on similar assumptions to those of other Cartesian reductionist approaches to 'the sciences'. Mars Atmosphere is 95% CO2. "Now where did that come from... " he pondered. It will be interesting to see what NASA comes up with to do this on purpose.
