Mark Watney, of The Martian fame, has somehow gotten himself stuck on another, this time unknown, planet. You need to help him perform some calculations so that he can, once again, escape the planet’s surface and return to Earth. Here’s what Mark knows: ▪ He has a mass of 77.5 kg and has found a capsule to launch in that has a mass of 2542 kg. ▪ He is definitely still in our solar system. ▪ On the surface, he...
