The Cheap Mars Flight Blog

Tiara and I were on Mars a little longer than planned today. As Keith advised us from the ICSE on how to repair the MEM's ignition system, Melody and Sumire loaded up the backup MEM that was still docked with the ICSE with extra food and supplies in case the MEM couldn't be repaired in time. But after a few hours of work, we got the MEM to launch. Meanwhile, the extra food and supplies that were put on board the backup MEM were brought back on board the ICSE. less than three hours later, Tiaria and I and the Martian samples we brought boarded the ICSE. From there, we remotely landed both MEMs onto the surface of Phobos so they can be used for future Mars missions and to save weight for our trip back to Earth.

Yes! we almost didn't make it. But things worked out anyway.
