The synopsis below may give away important plot points. Now, NASA's brilliant minds need to come up with an effective solution. All alone on a lifeless rock-140 million miles away from Earth, and in the face of limited resources-the stranded astronaut must do everything in his power to survive, as unexpected satellite photos prove that Mark is still alive. However, when a sudden space-storm forces them to abort the ambitious mission, the injured botanist, Mark Watney, finds himself marooned on the Red Planet, left for dead by friends and colleagues. In a not-so-distant 2035, the intrepid crew of the Ares III expedition safely lands on the arid red landscape of the distant planet Mars. Meanwhile, the astronauts he left behind realize the severity of his plight and join forces with an international coalition of scientists to launch a rescue mission in defiance of NASA protocol.

But the true history of space travel is just as fascinating. Test your own knowledge about food energy in this lesson. What is a calorie? How many calories are required to stay alive? When you’re hungry on Mars, it’s crucial to know how the human body works. But is math the language of the universe? This lesson explores the idea. In The Martian, Mark Watney quickly discovers that his fluency in math can mean the difference between life and death. To learn more about any of the elements, explore this interactive periodic table. Yet his working knowledge of chemistry turns out to be crucial in The Martian - especially when it comes to making rocket fuel. What other obstacles must he overcome to survive? This TED-Ed Lesson explains the main challenges of life on Mars. The hostile environment of the red planet is just one of Mark Watney’s 99 problems in The Martian. Mars is a cold, mostly dry, lifeless place. Can our hero survive life on Mars? Can NASA find a way to bring him home? To help you better understand the film - and the scifi novel that came first - we’ve picked 5 TED-Ed Lessons that explore some key Martian life skills.
