Unfortunately, it will take up to 4 years for someone to rescue him, so he needs to grow his own food. https://padlet.com/maria_arlotta/b1qjqd1colc2/wish/172569096 2017-05-18 13:12:08 UTC https://padlet.com/maria_arlotta/b1qjqd1colc2/wish/172569096 Mark wasn't just selected to go to Mars because he has an Amy Schumer-caliber sense of humor and the tenacious survival instinct of Tom Hanks in Castaway. alessia_lanubile https://padlet.com/maria_arlotta/b1qjqd1colc2/wish/172569488 2017-05-18 13:13:36 UTC https://padlet.com/maria_arlotta/b1qjqd1colc2/wish/172569488 Mark wasn't just selected to go to Mars because he has an Amy Schumer-caliber sense of humor and the tenacious survival instinct of Tom Hanks in Castaway. He's also a skilled botanist who proceeds to grow the first spuds on Mars. Makes you want to look into botany as a career, huh? Now that astronaut's off the list, of course. https://padlet.com/maria_arlotta/b1qjqd1colc2/wish/172570567 2017-05-18 13:17:19 UTC https://padlet.com/maria_arlotta/b1qjqd1colc2/wish/172570567 And remember, nobody even knows that he's alive...at first. manigliagiulio95 https://padlet.com/maria_arlotta/b1qjqd1colc2/wish/172571453 2017-05-18 13:20:14 UTC https://padlet.com/maria_arlotta/b1qjqd1colc2/wish/172571453 There is one idea that could work, though—the Purnell Maneuver. This plan requires Mark's Ares 3 crewmates to return to Mars on a rescue mission... which NASA boss Teddy Sanders is resistant to green-lighting. In the end, a scientist named Mitch Henderson sends the plan to the Ares 3 crew behind Teddy's back, and the crew heads back to the red planet. manigliagiulio95 https://padlet.com/maria_arlotta/b1qjqd1colc2/wish/172571740 2017-05-18 13:21:03 UTC https://padlet.com/maria_arlotta/b1qjqd1colc2/wish/172571740 He ultimately gets aboard the Hermes safe and sound. After two years of loneliness, he gets to hang out with his astronaut buddies yet again. He's all in one piece and headed for Earth... but he probably lost his desire for potatoes long ago. manigliagiulio95 https://padlet.com/maria_arlotta/b1qjqd1colc2/wish/172571848 2017-05-18 13:21:20 UTC https://padlet.com/maria_arlotta/b1qjqd1colc2/wish/172571848 Mark needs to figure out how to get oxygen, food, and water... and his only entertainment is a bunch of 1970s TV, disco music, and books selected by other people. Oh, and one other thing: the antenna on the communication device is broken. Mark has no way to communicate with the outside world. fabiana_favale_ff https://padlet.com/maria_arlotta/b1qjqd1colc2/wish/172576601 2017-05-18 13:34:57 UTC https://padlet.com/maria_arlotta/b1qjqd1colc2/wish/172576601
