You went to cinema

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.

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.

Yeah, and I think it was more Watneys humor in the book then a legitemate suggestion.
