As most people know, I absolutely loved reading and watching The Martian earlier this semester. When trying to come up with some extra points on my blog, I searched up some cool science videos. I stumbled upon this one. I loved listening to Neil's interview that we were showed a couple months back, so I thought, why not mix both together.
Upon watching this clip, I found it very humorous. The person narrating is not Neil, but he does include clips of him throughout the video. I was very interested in what he had to say, because I am by no means a science-y person. Throughout reading the book, I was very intrigued and curious. The questions I was asking myself mostly revolved around how realistic this book actually is. Coming from a knows-nothing-about-Mars point of view, it all seemed perfect. But knowing what I know from the many months of chemistry I've endured made me question it a lot.
Although this video is very humorous, I actually learned a lot about the science behind a potential trip to Mars. I learned that there hasn't actually been and man missions there, which I was super surprised about. I had assumed that there was, but it was nice learning about anyways. I even learned about botany, and what botanists do. I enjoyed it.
