"The Martian" has won Golden Globes and is up for a bunch of Oscar nominations. While the film has big names like Matt Damon, Jessica Chastain and Ridley Scott, does it measure up scientifically? Host Dave Schlom speaks with Rob Manning, a space flight engineer with NASA's Jet Propulsion Lab in Pasadena to find out.
