Mark Watney: I know what they're doing. I know exactly what they're doing. They're gonna just keep repeating go faster than any man in the history of space travel. Like that's a good thing. Like it will distract me from how insane they're plan is. Yeah, I get to go faster than any man in the history of space travel. Because you're launching me in a convertible. Actually it's worse than that, because I won't be able to control the thing. Oh by the way, physicist, when describing things like acceleration, do not use the word fast. So, they're only doing that in the hopes I won't raise any objections, to this lunacy. Because I like the way fastest man in the history of space travel sounds. I do like the way it sounds. I like it a lot, but, I'm not gonna tell them that. OK, let's do this.
