00:00:02.614 --> 00:00:05.563
Every human being has a basic instinct,

00:00:05.563 --> 00:00:07.193
to help each other out.

00:00:07.817 --> 00:00:10.170
If a hiker gets lost in the mountains,

00:00:10.170 --> 00:00:12.324
people coordinate a search.

00:00:13.585 --> 00:00:15.754
If an earthquake levels the city,

00:00:16.573 --> 00:00:19.826
people all over the world 
send emergency supplies.

00:00:21.115 --> 00:00:24.119
This instinct is found in every culture

00:00:24.449 --> 00:00:25.883
without exception.

00:00:29.783 --> 00:00:34.113
At around 4:30 am our satellites detected a storm approaching

00:00:34.123 --> 00:00:36.544
the Aries 3 mission site on Mars.

00:00:38.603 --> 00:00:41.058
The storm had escalated to severe

00:00:42.298 --> 00:00:44.873
and we had no choice but to abort 
the mission.

00:00:46.197 --> 00:00:48.205
But during the evacuation,

00:00:50.265 --> 00:00:52.634
Astronaut Mark Watney was killed.

00:01:01.394 --> 00:01:03.513
I’m entering this log for the record.

00:01:04.593 --> 00:01:07.989
This is Mark Watney and I’m still alive,

00:01:08.799 --> 00:01:10.116
obviously.

00:01:11.733 --> 00:01:15.144
I have no way to contact Nasa 
or my crew mates.

00:01:15.144 --> 00:01:19.775
But even if I could it would take four years for another manned mission to reach me

00:01:19.803 --> 00:01:22.753
and I’m in a Hab designed to last thirty-one days.

00:01:22.753 --> 00:01:24.903
So, in the face of overwhelming odds,

00:01:24.913 --> 00:01:26.503
I’m left with only one option.

00:01:26.503 --> 00:01:29.423
I’m going to have 
to science the shit out of this.

00:01:32.362 --> 00:01:34.204
Okay, let’s do the math.

00:01:34.204 --> 00:01:36.608
I got to figure out to grow four years 
worth of food

00:01:36.608 --> 00:01:39.013
here on a planet where nothing grows.

00:01:40.115 --> 00:01:42.069
But if I can’t figure out a way to make contact

00:01:42.069 --> 00:01:44.053
with Nasa none of this matters anyway.

00:01:47.352 --> 00:01:48.564
Houston be advised.

00:01:48.573 --> 00:01:50.953
We got a video message. 
It’s directed to the whole crew.

00:01:50.953 --> 00:01:51.923
Play it.

00:01:53.633 --> 00:01:54.484
My god!

00:01:56.953 --> 00:01:58.927
Mark Watney’s still alive.

00:02:01.297 --> 00:02:03.312
In your face Neil Armstrong.

00:02:04.015 --> 00:02:05.234
We left him behind.

00:02:05.695 --> 00:02:07.073
Let’s go get our boy.

00:02:07.256 --> 00:02:09.224
This is something Nasa rejected,

00:02:09.224 --> 00:02:11.193
so we are talking mutiny.

00:02:11.742 --> 00:02:14.278
And if we mess up the supply rendezvous,

00:02:14.288 --> 00:02:15.034
we die.

00:02:15.242 --> 00:02:18.427
If we mess up the earth gravity assist,

00:02:19.317 --> 00:02:20.413
we die.

00:02:30.253 --> 00:02:33.133
It’s space. It doesn’t cooperate.

00:02:34.474 --> 00:02:37.603
I guarantee you that at some point

00:02:38.893 --> 00:02:41.163
everything is going to go south on you

00:02:43.474 --> 00:02:45.223
and you are going to say this is it.

00:02:47.735 --> 00:02:48.982
This is how I end.

00:02:50.782 --> 00:02:53.171
Is it possible that he’s still alive?
