Is there not some scientific thing where a human can remain conscious for 10-30 seconds when exposed on Mars unlike the moon/space which is just an instant death? I think he'd have time to get back into the ship

You actually could have a couple seconds in the hard vacuum of space before you pass out. I've even heard it's more hypoxia that you would die from in space and you should be able to be revived if the exposure was less than a minute or something.

Mars should be less deadly, as long as the sun isn't visible. (No magnetosphere = deadly solar radiation)
