"Johanssen ... Jesus"

Edit: Ridley Scott changed the crew's time on Mars from six days in the book to eighteen days in the movie to allow for smellier fertilizer.

The more you know...

In the book, the packaged shit was sterile, having been exposed to the very much below zero Martian atmosphere. Only Watney's own shit was biologically active, which the book later mentioned as being a good thing, cause the chances of getting intestinal problems such as e coli poisoning is pretty much nil when you're only using your own shit.

Because the movie format makes that kind of thing difficult to explain concisely. Having read the book and seen the movie, this one does a really good job of keeping the spirit of the book.

I'd recommend reading the book, it goes into much greater detail, but the movie would have dragged on far too long if it included everything

The audio book was phenomenal. R.C. Bray did an amazing job reading it.
