| Oct 20, 2015 at 15:05 | comment | added | Bigben59 | this is from the face book off Andy : Someday, Neil deGrasse Tyson is going to either read “The Martian” or see the film adaptation of it. When he does, he’s going to immediately know that the sandstorm part at the beginning isn’t accurate to physics. He’ll point out that the inertia of a Martian storm isn’t enough to do damage to anything. The knowledge that this is going to happen haunts me. | |
