This one occurred to me.

In The Martian the astronaut Mark Watney dig sup the radioactive isotope RTG generator and shoves it in the cab of his buggy thing to keep him warm. He then spends a load of time fannying about and modifying the buggy to extend its range with portable solar panels.

Now, the RTG is an electric generator, so why not just connect the bloody thing to the buggy and use that to power it and thus give it indefinite range with no need to stop to charge?

So what plot holes or inconsistencies have you spotted in the movies?

Why is there no backseater/WSO in the F-18f's in Top Gun Maverick.

Are 2 seat F16 an F18 trainers combat capable as single seaters? Not a true 2 seater like F4 or Strike Eagle...

There doesn't appear to be a toilet on the USS Enterprise ncc - 1701

Not even for passing Klingons?

The RTG is Campagnolo but the buggy has a Shimano drive.

How much power do you think an RTG produces?
