I think that this sci-fi movie is an amazing speculation of how humans today are constantly developing and challenging the means of nature and what we can accomplish. This movie is heavy on the abilities of the human mind to work through sticky situations. I had become very invested in this movie and seeing how Mark thrived through his situation. Even though it is not based on true events it is an outstanding theory to how humans may further develop on Mars and in space.
Endurance, Young Readers Edition: My Year in Space and How I Got There by Scott Kelly tells the story of Scott Kelly’s own life in space. In the book, Kelly details the conditions he had to make do with on board the International Space Station. While he was sent on the mission as part of a study that wanted to determine the impact of space on aging bodies, he made good use of his time aboard the space shuttle. For example, he helped grow the first plants in space and chatted with top-ranking officials on his experiences, which was invaluable to the legacy he would create for himself.
