The Martian

Politics is a total mess these days, but here’s some news out of Washington that veeryone can enjoy. President Obama is the guest editor of the new Wired Magazine, and as part of his work for the publication, he shared his favorite science-fiction movies and television shows. The POTUS even went to the trouble of provide helpful links to where you can watch each of the shows or films online. What a guy.

Honestly, one of my favorite films of last year was definitely The Martian starring Matt Damon. The film is based on the book by Andy Weir and the story is about astronaut Mark Watney being left behind on Mars and his struggle to survive. The cool part about the film is that most of it is based on real science on what could really happen...
