Well, then let’s survey. And I’ll maneuver to Mercury Orbit as fast as possible. (I don’t have the map right now, I’ll look it up later).
That craft is 1 probe + 2 ions, so you can go D2 to Mercury Orbit in 1 year. Can’t land on ions, though.

No plan to land. It’s just it costs me nothing to try and not lose the probe and only from orbit is a way back to IPT as far as I remember.

OK, still your turn (with ¤30 in hand).

- Shinji to survey Mercury
- Shinji will then maneuver probe to Mercury Orbit
- Kusanagi is still en route to OTP
- I’ll test my Atlas on Earth please and if I remember correctly I have not tested before and so because there are 3 results left, I’ll buy off whatever happens. If there are only 2 results left because I misremember I will only buy off failures.
- Shopping list
- Proton Tech = 10¤
- If I have 10¤ left, I will buy 2 more Atlas
- If I have 15¤ left, I will buy 1 Proton Rocket for 12¤ and stockpile 3¤ worth of Astronaut food.
Question: I can only test Life Support in Orbit, right?

Well maybe soon we can… 
How many cards do you have on life support?
All of them 
Want to trade mine with 2 cards for your proton rockets?
Yeah, I think I do.
Shakes space gloves on the deal.

There are 2 cards on Atlas. I see no Atlas in your component stockpile, so you’ll need to buy one for ¤5 before you test - OK?
no dont do the atlas test then. i need to check why i thought i had an atlas.
found it faster than i thought i could. sorry. very tired. might be the wrong year but i didnt scroll very far

Yes, but then:
which is why it has two cards on it right now.
hmm IT was late. I’ll have to wait until i get at home sorry about the confusion. i still need to rethink my turn anyway

Okay so I’ve thought about it. I’ll go ahead with the tech shopping as planned previously. I’ll revise below:
Do I have any money left?
Both Atlas tests are successful, so you exit the testing phase with ¤20. Proton tech for 10 leaves you 10. Trading to RossM as discussed above, so you now have Life Support-2 and he gains Proton-3.

I’ll hire a mechanic for 5 and buy an Atlas.
I will do this manned mission… or … crash trying or sit here assembling parts while someone does it first.
