They finally have a diver in the chamber! To be continued of course.

The Martian was pretty good, the only things that really bugged me was the Hollywood nonsense. I guess they needed it to start the story, yet the thin martian atmosphere can not tip over a rocket, nor pick up a radio antenna or anything other than fine dust. It's less than 1% of Earth's atmospheric pressure. Then later it's thin again when the hab explosively decompresses, and after that somehow it manages to flap his plastic tarp fix with a 100:1 atmospheric pressure differential.
At the end the same. No override on the door as a last resort in case of fire? They have to blow up the airlock? Then round it off with more nonsense, plus now they've screwed up their orbit and miss earth on the way back yet who cares :) It was very pretty.
