Taken from JRE #1425 w/Garrett Reisman:

I love it when joe has guests on with heads equally shiny to his

[gunnerkobra]

For a astronaut this guy is pretty down to earth.

I like NDT's take on the Martian "The only unbelievable thing about that movie is that NASA has a budget to do this"

Joes phone: **47 missed calls from Eddie Bravo**

Mars has a third the gravity as Earth. You can jump 3 times higher, so Joe could dunk on an 8 foot rim on Mars.

To defend Andy Weir:
He was a software developer (engineer), not having any real background in physics or space engineering. He was well aware that storm that can move a rocket can never happen on Mars. Per many of his interviews, he contemplated use different story causing Mark being stranded, such as rocket malfunction during a test. Then he decided for a storm because the story of Martian is fight between a man and the nature and Andy wanted nature to give the first punch. The iron man flight idea was mentioned by Mark in the book, but never realized, as it could never work. If you enjoyed the movie, your are going to love the book (as it always is).

I end up listening to the whole podcast, just in sections LOL

This clip was barely about The Martian.

Joe: "And Mars's gravity is what percentage of Earth's?"

Guest: "1/3"

Joe: Thoughtfully looks at the ceiling, pretending to comprend the implications of that answer.

There's an awful lot of glare coming out for that dome of yours

Imagine like a 75% gravity chamber you could have at your home that you could just lay in when you’re sore. Could be the ultimate recovery chamber

[slashbrees]

The Martian is hands down one of my favorite movies of all time.

[igveiwer]

Joe should get the author on the podcast he even wrote the egg

[massterproduction]

Honestly, my favorite guest in a long time

[brownsamurai]

If this was 40 years ago, both of these guys would have a Dick Van Patten style comb-over.

[yousufazad]

an Episode with Eddi Bravo and an actual personal from NASA... that would be gold

[captainandy]

Meeting Garrett was great, love the dude

[shivasantosht]

Two grown up men just havin meaningful conversation, who understand each others sense of humour, just wonderful, Joe is indeed great 👽

[bowerthomas]

That's the solution from Total Recall that didn't come off the top of his head
