It's been a week since the other astronauts left Mars and went back to Earth, accidentally leaving me here alone.I was caught in a dust storm and lost contact with them.
After resuming communication with the base five days later, I was informed that it will be eight months before a rescue mission arrives from Earth.Fortunately, I have shelter, because the landing capsule protects me from the deadly radiation outside.The capsule is powered by a small nuclear plant.It might have just enough electricity for eight months, if nothing goes wrong.What's more, my spacesuit keeps me safe from exposure to the Martian surface for up to several hours at a time.Water and oxygen were my biggest worries at first, but I've discovered an underground ice deposit nearby.I can reach the ice with our survey tools.That's lucky, because I can drink the water from the ice and also use it to produce oxygen when I run low.
Now I am worried about food.There is only enough for one person for four months — four months short of what I need.Part of our mission was to experiment with growing plants in the Martian soil, so I have seeds of various kinds.I must work out how to farm on Mars.If I can solve that challenge, and if the electricity supply holds, I can survive until I am rescued.There's still hope!
