MY FAVE
To make water Watney combines Hydrogen with this element resulting in a fiery experience.
OXYGEN
Watney's crew job that becomes his key to survival.
A Botanist
Mars has about 38 % of this Earth Property, making movement easier but dust storms more intense.
Gravity
Watney's home on Mars, short for habitat.
The HAB
The planet Watney is stranded on is known by this other name
Red Planet.
The chemical in rocket fuel that Watney extracts Hydrogen from
Hydrazine
Watney grows this starchy crop in Martian soil.
Potatoes.
The unit Watney uses to measure time on Mars.
Sol
The Mars vehicle Watney modifies for long distance travel.
Rover
Tis is the reason Mars is known as the Red Planet
Rust Dust. Iron in the soil.
This process involves combining 2 elements to make water and almost kills Watney.
Combustion
The nutrient rich material used as fertilizer.
Human waste
Watney uses this type of energy to power his equipment and charge the rover.
Solar Energy
Watney repairs the Rover by sealing leaks using this common survival tool
Duct Tape
The speed Watney must reach to escape Mar's gravity and rendezvous with Hermes.
Escape Velocity.
The chemical compound Watney must avoid producing too much of while burning fuel.
Carbon Monoxide
Watney must add this Earth resource to make the Martian soil fertile.
Water.
The maneuver the Hermes Crew uses to return to Mars involves using Earth's gravity for speed.
Gravity assist or Slingshot Maneuver.
To lighten the MAV for takeoff, Watney removes this safety feature, exposing him to space
Nose Cone or Canopy.
The reason the top of the MAV was removed was.
Lighten the weight and increase the Velocity.
Hydrazine's formula is N2H4. What two elements does it contain.
Nitrogen and Hydrogen.
What happened to the potatoes?
They froze.
To achieve Mars orbit rendezvous the Hermes must carefully adjust this.
Speed.
The NASA probe Watney recovers to re establish communication with Earth.
Pathfinder.
Why did the covering of the MAV not burn up.
Atmosphere was too thin.
