Exploring Mars

Day 1

Commander Courtney reporting from the mars probe,22nd June 1970. This day began with a disaster.Mac and I had to take evasive action to avoid a meteorite.In firing the retro-rockets to avoid the meteorite, we came inyo the orbit of Mars. We used all the fuel and had to eject both modules. I landed on the far side of Mars, Mac on the other side.I'll set off to look for him tomorrow. My first survival problem will be heat.I found a yellow rock that has the properties of coal.The problem that most concerns me is air. I have only 60 hours of air left in my tanks. I realized that I can't make fire without oxygen so I used my oxygen tank pipe to help me make the fire. I found a crystal on the ground and used it as a magnifing glass on the rock to make fire.
