“All we have to have is constant support.”
“There actually is an affordable path to Mars in the 2030s without having to increase the NASA budget,” Bell said. Since the e-book was published in 2011, NASA has made significant investments in technology-such as the rockets needed to propel humans to Mars-that could make a mission much more affordable than is portrayed in the movie, according to Bell. While the Andy Weir book “The Martian,” on which the film is based, estimates that Mars mission could cost in the “hundreds of millions of dollars,” scientists think it could be more affordable. “It’s not ‘Star Wars’ or ‘Star Trek.’ This is something we can do in the near future.” “That’ll maybe excite the public the most,” said Bell, who has been heavily involved in NASA’s solar system exploration missions, including those involving Mars rover Curiosity. “The Martian” won’t be filled with “Star Trek” inventions such as warp drive, phasers and torpedoes, but real technology that is either developed, in the process of being developed or will be developed within the next decade, said Jim Bell, a professor at Arizona State University. “It is easy to imagine that the cost of reaching Mars, while high, could be invaluable to us in the future if we were able to create a sustainable colony.” “I am in favor of movies that realistically portray the cost and dangers,” said Chris Russell, head of the Space Physics Center at UCLA. The realism of this film, and other recent sci-fi movies such as “Interstellar” and “Gravity,” are fueling the excitement. The views expressed in this article are those of just the author.““It is easy to imagine that the cost of reaching Mars, while high, could be invaluable to us in the future.” ” - Chris Russell, UCLA Space Physics Center Next time Damon needs to be saved at the movies, let’s just leave his ass wherever he’s gotten himself stuck. In other words, if all of the characters played by Damon in the films mentioned above were real people, who needed actual rescuing from the precarious situations depicted, then his rescuers would need almost one trillion dollars to save them all.

His movie gross takings so far are about $2.7B, which is about 40% of the cheapest proposed trip to Mars, as proposed by the Mars One team.Making the Matt Damon movies has cost about 0.1% of the “real” cost to actually send him on all of these business trips.Only movies where Matt Damon acted are included.Interstellar (Interstellar spaceship): $500B Green Zone (US Army transport from Middle East): $50kĮlysium (Space station security deployment and damages): $100m Syriana (Middle East private security return flight): $50k Titan AE (Earth evacuation spaceship): $200B Saving Private Ryan (WW2 Europe search party): $100k See detailed estimates below.Ĭourage Under Fire (Gulf War 1 helicopter rescue): $300k
This question can be answered in terms of movie budgets, or estimated fictional costs where Matt Damon has been sent on extended “business trips”. That’s according to a Quora answer to the question, “How much money has been spent attempting to bring Matt Damon back from distant places?” But if they were, BGR reports that the total cost of Damon’s rescues would amount to $900 billion dollars and change. How much money, exactly? Well these are movies, obviously, so they aren’t real. The thing is, many of Damon’s movies involve the United States (and sometimes other groups) cobbling together lots of resources to save his character’s sorry ass. In actor Matt Damon‘s most recent film, The Martian, NASA and the American government spent over a year trying to bring his marooned character back from the planet Mars.
