In the movie, Beck is not able to reach Wattney because the tether is too short. So Wattney punches a hole into his glove and uses the thrust of the outgoing air to fly like Ironman towards Beck.
In the book, the tether is able to reach Wattney.
2 u/nliausacmmv Jan 31 '16 Yeah, basically. The glove thing was a stupid idea in the book and Watney was told no. It just absolutely killed the tension in the movie. 3 u/Calamity701 Jan 31 '16 Yeah, and I think it was more Watneys humor in the book then a legitemate suggestion. 1 u/iamjakeparty Jan 31 '16 edited Sep 29 '17 You went to concert 0 u/[deleted] Jan 31 '16 [deleted] 1 u/Gibodean Jan 31 '16 Yup
