Imagine if you were thrown on a desert-like planet with no air, no food, and no people around, only red dust and certain death. But in such a situation, a man started an impossible fight for survival. And who knows where he goes? Today, we bring you an incredible story from the sci-fi world, the blockbuster movie The Martian, directed by Ridley Scott. Let's see how a man defeated death with science and intelligence. At the beginning of the movie, a group of astronauts is working on a mission on Mars. Their team is called Eris. They were collecting and researching Martian soil. Just then, a terrible dust storm suddenly started. The captain and his team decided to quickly return to space. But unfortunately, one of the crew members, Mark, was injured in the storm and fell unconscious and disappeared. The others search a lot but cannot find him anywhere. Everyone thinks that Mark is dead. So, they leave him with sadness and leave for Earth. But in fact, Mark is not dead. The next day, he slowly regains consciousness and realizes that he is now completely stranded on Mars. He drags his injured body to the shelter. Which was their place to stay. Where there was limited oxygen, food, and water. Mark knows that it will take at least four years for the next mission to arrive. But it is not possible to survive for that long with the food he has. So, he has to find a way to survive on his own. He takes refuge in the shelter they have built. There, he plans to grow potatoes. Potatoes were the only food he had. But growing potatoes requires fertile soil and water, which are not available on Mars. So, he creates an artificial environment using plastic and Martian soil. Then he used hydrogen and oxygen to make water. He failed at first but later succeeded. After a few days, his first light sprouted miraculously. When his first light sprouted, he cried with joy. On the other hand, everyone on earth thought that Mark was dead. Every grave was named after him. But one day, a NASA operator noticed some solar panels moving on Mars. In fact, Mark was moving them. From there, everyone on earth knew that he was still alive. On the other hand, Mark was looking for a way to communicate. He found the old rover Pathfinder sent in 1997, repaired and turned it on. By turning it on, he was able to communicate with NASA. Although it could only send text-based messages, that was his only hope. NASA was happy but disappointed. Because even knowing that Mark was alive, they would not be able to help him directly. It will take several months to reach Mars from Earth. And there is no drinking water near Mark to survive for so long. So, NASA did not tell anyone about Mark's life, even though they knew that Mark was alive. In the meantime, 70 days have passed on Mars. Yet Mark is still alive. Mark calculates that the next mission, called Eris, will land about 3200 kilometers from his current location. It will take him 50 days to get there. Because the vehicle he has runs on solar panels and can cover a limited distance per day. On the other hand, NASA's time on Earth is surprising. Because Mark has survived for so long despite limited food and water reserves. So, NASA is now planning to send food and equipment for Mark. It will take three months to complete the entire preparation and another nine months to reach Mars. That is, a total of one year. In this way, another 48 days passed on Mars.
The crops planted by Mark started to grow. Finally, he was able to produce more than 400 potatoes. Then, he selectively planted the small potatoes again.
But how long can one survive by eating potatoes alone? The human body needs a balanced diet. So, Mark desperately started communicating more closely with NASA.
He started exchanging texts through Pathfinder. NASA told him that arrangements were being made to send his food and equipment. Then, finally, NASA informed Mark's team that Mark was still alive.
NASA had known about Mark's survival for two months. They thought that Mark would die on Mars due to a lack of drinking water. And that is why they were not informed of this news. And when they heard this news, they were very sad. Because
they were the ones who had mistakenly returned to Mars. One day, Mark was making a video on his potato farm. But suddenly, one day, the shelter explodes in an accident. And all the crops are destroyed. It will not be possible to cultivate light there a second time. Because Mark used all the materials of the shelter to create gravity and water like the Earth, it has been completely destroyed. Then Mark calculates that he will not be able to survive until help arrives with the amount of food and water he has. He is again in a survival crisis. NASA tells him to eat little by little. So, he starts eating one meal in three parts. NASA sends a spaceship with food for him. But shortly after leaving Earth, the spaceship explodes. Everyone collapses. Hearing this news, Marco collapses. Still, he sends his parents a last message through code. Don't suffer for my death. I love my work very much. If I die, it will also be for a great purpose.
Although NASA almost gave up hope, China came forward. They agreed to send their prepared spaceship to Mark. Meanwhile, the young scientist came up with a surprising plan. Instead of returning to Earth, the spaceship Hamis could be sent back to Mars using a gravitational pull. This would allow Hamis' team to rescue Mark. NASA did not agree to take such a risk. Because they could not risk the lives of five people to save one. But since there was no other way, some NASA members and a boy named Rich sent their entire plan to the spaceship Hamis, which was coming towards Earth. The Hamis members decided on their own that they would go to save Mark. When NASA saw that the spaceship was going towards Mars instead of Earth, they realized that Hamis' team was going to save Mark. This time, NASA members are also forced to send food and supplies to Hamis through the Chinese spacecraft to save Mars.
On the other hand, NASA tells Mars that it will have to use a spacecraft called Mab to escape the gravity of Mars. And for this, Mark sets off to reach Mab. Finally, he reaches Mab after 90 days. But Mark sees that there is not enough fuel on the Mab. With the amount of fuel he has, he will not be able to escape the gravity of Mars. That is why he tries to make the Mab as light as possible by throwing away everything unnecessary. On the other hand, it turns out that Hamis has reached Mars. The whole world is now watching them. NASA calculates and tells Mark to launch. He bravely turns on the Mab and starts to rise into space. The speed of the map was so high that Mark fainted due to the air pressure. After a while, he regained consciousness. But another danger appeared. While rising into the sky, Mab's speed increased so much that he could not stop properly. On the other hand, Mark's members in Hamish saw Mark's space correctly. Captain Melissa Lewis went to pick up Mark in a space chair. But the rope on the space chair almost ran out. As a result, Captain Melissa Lewis could not reach Mark. Finally, Mark dared to make a small hole in his space and used the air pressure to push himself towards Captain Melissa Lewis. Although his hand was swollen at first, Mark was able to grab the rope somehow. In this way, Mark was finally saved after fighting death for years. And returned to Earth with his music. Returning to Earth, Mark later becomes the trainer of the Astronauts. How can a person defeat death with indomitable courage, science, and intelligence? The Martian is a great example.
