The Martian2015

Mitch Henderson:
He's not even got to the bad parts yet.

Vincent Kapoor:
Well, let's get to the bad parts.

Bruce Ng:
We need to remove the nose LR, the windows, and the whole of panel 19.

Vincent Kapoor:
You want to take the front of the ship off?

Bruce Ng:
Sure. The nose alone is 400 kilograms.

Vincent Kapoor:
You want to send a man into space without the front of his ship?

Bruce Ng:
Well, no. We are going to have him cover it with HAB canvas. The hull is mostly there to keep air in. Mars' atmosphere is so thin, you do not need a lot of streamlining. By the time the ship is going fast enough for air resistance to matter, it'll be high enough that there will be practically no air.

Vincent Kapoor:
You want to send him into space under a tarp?

Bruce Ng:
Yes. Can I go on?

Vincent Kapoor:
NO!
