Gravity assist scene in The Martian

It is the gravity assist scene from The martian movie 2015.

Just realized Sean bean is the only person in any world that has attended elrond's meeting twice... Mind

[akshaykhanna]

'Council of Elrond' was really cool with Sean Bean in there

[Maxphyte]

“How do you know that...”

“Because I was there”

[sppingz]

I was waiting for Sean Bean to say "One does not simply fly back to Mars"

[jameseichinger]

I love the fact a gravity assist had to be explained to top brass at NASA like it was a remedial Earth Science class.

[rogerkincaid]

" _Teddy... I'm the director of NASA._ "

[nicdurkin]

Notice how he took Teddy’s nice pen and replaced it with the cheap plastic one.

[Vesperitis]

I like to think that Teddy explains himself so simply and sarcastically because this isn't the first time a NASA grunt geek didn't recognize him.

Two minutes later:
**this is America**

I like how everything in movies/TV are instantly logical the minute someone says, " I've done the math. It checks out."

[immanuela]

One of the things I find extremely funny about this scene is the fact that the lady didn’t realize that NASA was being run by a bunch of nerds, so of course they’d use LOTR references.

[OfficialAshArcher]

Funniest bits about this

1. Sean bean being here
2. Jeff Daniels calling being Glorfindel so deadpan AND calmly reminding rich he’s the head of NASA
3. Kristen wiig equally deadpan saying she hates everyone there

[RYk]

"How do you know it's a secret meeting?!"
"I was there folks.... I was there, 3000 years when Isildur took the ring. I was there the day the strength of men failed...."

[Trackrace]

Wong didn’t want to be in the same room as Mordo cause he hates wizards

[jeremymather]

It is nice to see Sean Bean in a movie where he does not die...:)

[paulkim]

I like how when Glover puts the pen back in Daniel's pocket, it's the wrong pen.

[godfather]

Glorfindel is a really cool character. Took on and defeated a balrog single handedly, albeit dying in the end, aside from being one of the greatest warriors to exist

[georgdrache]

"Teddy... I'm the Director of NASA." (means I'm the boss and you are nothing)
"Cool" (I'm not impressed)

Coolest Scene in the movie

[isiahduran]

This movie is seriously underrated, and all the science checks out apparently in real life

[lieutenantkettch]

So much meta-referencing:
Boromir explains what The Council of Elrond is.
Troy acting like Abed.
