A critical reactor malfunction in the international SELARIU habitat killed all crew members except for one: Dave. A rescue pod is sent from the Mars station in orbit. Strong sun flares cause navigational problems, and the probe lands 2 Kilometers (1.2 Miles) off target … on top of the mesa known as the “Face on Mars”. Full space suits will not allow climbing.
