In Watney's case, he throws himself into solving each problem that presents itself on Mars, MacGuiver-style.
Keeping focused on actively doing things is also important for avoidingĭepression like the kind that Mark Watney might have experienced (psychologists call this behavioral activation). For example, people who are kept in solitary confinement will do things like construct a house in their mind, brick by brick, Holland says. As for Watney, he develops a kind of relationship with the camera he uses to log his captivity on Mars. Holland says it's also completely healthy for someone who is completely isolated to start having relationships with inanimate objects (think Wilson the volleyball in the film "Cast Away"). At one point in the film when he's figuring out how he's going to survive, he says, "I'm gonna have to science the shit out of this."Ī sense of humor is a huge asset for anyone, particularly for an astronaut, because it allows him or her to remain positive. Studies have shown that people use humor to cope with everything from losing their vision to having cancer.
In the movie and book, Watney copes with the prospect of almost certain death using humor. In "The Martian," Watney faces the added difficulty of having to communicate with NASA using the camera on an old rover, which NASA can only use by pointing at letters and spelling out words. Thankfully for most of today's astronauts - including NASA astronaut Scott Kelly, who's spending a year on the International Space Station - communication is delayed by only a fraction of a second.īut on Mars, there would be a lag of about 20 minutes each way, which means a single exchange would take 40 minutes. One thing tha t's important for staying sane on journeys to space is real-time communication, which helps astronauts feel connected to friends and family. "We know that humans can be very resilient. "People have been able to keep it together mentally before" under extreme circumstances, such as being prisoners of war, Al Holland, a senior operational psychologist at NASA, told Business Insider. We talked to a NASA psychologist to find out if someone stranded on Mars could really make it without losing his or her mind.
