Mark Watney manages to return only because the NASA space program has preserved the Jet Propulsion Lab's (JPL) enormous efforts out of Pasadena to explore Mars many years before humans/Watney even get/s there http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/msl/ and https://youtu.be/nA7ZyJqq5WI ! So, i will not spoil the film for your readers but quote to you from my copy of the MIT publication, TECHNOLOGY REVIEW of August 2009 : The ARES rockets are a crucial part of the Constellation program, NASA's plan for new manned flights to the moon and possibly to Mars and beyond.Unlike its predecessors the ARES will use separate launch vehicles to transport cargo and crew. ARES I will carry humans to space, while ARES V will transport large scale hardware such as items needed to establish a lunar base...." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CD-OcW3Qhjg.

And just like wine, vodka can be easily used in your daily beauty regime to add a much wanted healthy white glow to your skin.<br /><br />Vodka is a great astringent or toner. Soak a cotton ball in a mix that is equal parts vodka and water and then lightly dab all over your skin. It will cleanse the skin and tighten pores.<br /><br />You can add a dash of lemon juice to the mixture and freeze it. Rub these beauty cubes onto your face to bring down skin bloat as vodka and lemon juice together tighten pores and...<br />POTPOURRI JAI HO !bohidarnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6279678409089205149.post-79448921187710187182015-10-06T20:13:19.194+05:302015-10-06T20:13:19.194+05:30Sir, after reading your fascinating piece I was te...Sir, after reading your fascinating piece I was tempted to run to the theatre for a second screening of the film, which I will do soon! :-)Murtaza Alihttp://www.apotpourriofvestiges.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6279678409089205149.post-50579660544777787232015-10-06T08:58:33.031+05:302015-10-06T08:58:33.031+05:30Your picture 📷 selection & captioning approx...Your picture 📷 selection & captioning approximates the sheer genius of decision making, Murtaza, the kind that all space 🚀 men need from moment to moment! I hope readers will get the drift of what Sir Ridley Scott is trying to do...playing with our collective cine-unconscious. Digging deep into our visual memory in the popular public domain. There's Kubrick, too. Look again at the tight close up 👆 of Mark Watney's huge face through his visor when he half grunts half shivers gains consciousness like a large beast abandoned on an alien reddish sun smeared 👽 planet and hauls his huge weight up. It could be the opening of "2001" re, no, Ridley visited ! Matt Damon's face makes all this possible, which is why the film 🎥 is "Matt Damon The Martian" & not Ridley Scott's 😉bohidarnoreply@blogger.com
