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? maria_arlotta https://padlet.com/maria_arlotta/f4widlj9ll4b/wish/174269238 2017-05-29 15:42:24 UTC https://padlet.com/maria_arlotta/f4widlj9ll4b/wish/174269238 3.His crew is forced to abandon their post and leave him behind. And remember, nobody even knows that he's alive...at first. maria_arlotta https://padlet.com/maria_arlotta/f4widlj9ll4b/wish/174269398 2017-05-29 15:44:06 UTC https://padlet.com/maria_arlotta/f4widlj9ll4b/wish/174269398 4.Eventually NASA notices his presence on Mars. Unfortunately, it will take up to 4 years for someone to rescue him, so he 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 more thing: the antenna on the communication device is broken. Mark has no way to communicate with the outside world. maria_arlotta https://padlet.com/maria_arlotta/f4widlj9ll4b/wish/174269501 2017-05-29 15:45:02 UTC https://padlet.com/maria_arlotta/f4widlj9ll4b/wish/174269501 5.Being stuck on Mars, Mark is forced to use Chemistry, Physics and science in general to survive. maria_arlotta https://padlet.com/maria_arlotta/f4widlj9ll4b/wish/174269581 2017-05-29 15:45:43 UTC https://padlet.com/maria_arlotta/f4widlj9ll4b/wish/174269581 6.As a botanist, he manages to survive by growing potatoes but when things start to look especially bleak, NASA tries to send Mark supplies... Unfortunately, thanks to a rush job the supply vessel explodes. maria_arlotta https://padlet.com/maria_arlotta/f4widlj9ll4b/wish/174269833 2017-05-29 15:47:55 UTC https://padlet.com/maria_arlotta/f4widlj9ll4b/wish/174269833 7.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. maria_arlotta https://padlet.com/maria_arlotta/f4widlj9ll4b/wish/174270013 2017-05-29 15:49:50 UTC https://padlet.com/maria_arlotta/f4widlj9ll4b/wish/174270013 8.Mark needs to drive several thousand kilometers to the Ares 4 site, where he'll use a ship to launch himself into space and the open arms of his crewmates. And he ultimately gets aboard the Hermes safe and sound. maria_arlotta https://padlet.com/maria_arlotta/f4widlj9ll4b/wish/174270181 2017-05-29 15:51:25 UTC https://padlet.com/maria_arlotta/f4widlj9ll4b/wish/174270181
