I believe the newer ones have a terabyte in a similar shape and size. Picture: eshop.macsales.com/shop/ssd/owc/macbook-air/2013-2014-2015 | |

| Dec 15, 2016 at 12:01 | comment | added | Cherubel | That is all good man. Ridley made the movie and in the movie there is no mention of what happened either. Also movie directors change stuff most times when interpreting a book into a movie. I was just demonstrating that is VERY possible to have large chunks of data compressed so space wouldn't be an issue. And considering that most of the internal workings of a USB stick is plastic and wires it couldn't weigh more than a few grams. Maybe less if NASA made em out of some kind of techno composites that are invented in the future. The movie is in 2035 so a ot of stuff can happen in 30 years. | |

It's unlikely they would've let him take a USB or two with him and if that was how they saved it (Which is wasn't as clarified in my answer above) they would've had him leave it for the next Ares Mission. | |
