OK, over to me. I have 20 (30, -20 buying off Synthesis cards, +10 other player mission bonus).

Buy 2 Large Fuel Tank (12, 8 left).
Buy 1 food (1, 7 left).
Combine Hydroponics Module, Food onto shuttle VK (crewed by Chretien) with two large fuel tanks and launch to Earth Orbit.

Transfer 2 Vostok (on Earth) to OLA joint venture.

7 money left. I’ll end turn here for now.

Sorry, should have said, @RossM to play next.

Separate one Juno from craft in Mars orbit.

Attempt to land on Mars with it. Pay off any result.

Last remaining Landing card is a Success. Probe is on Mars.

One Feature is revealed:

(I’ve added that to the spacecraft card. It gets you the points if you get it to Earth, or to a science module with a Scientist astronaut.)

I did say Juno, but as my next move was to separate each of the three probes and land then separately to explore all features it doesn’t matter.

Land all probes separately (auto success) to explore all features.)

Yeah, fair point, my error but it ends up in your favour.

Ok.

I arrived in Mars Orbit with 8 Junos and 3 Probes.

All 3 Probes dropped to Mars and Sample obtained.

Drop a total of 3 Junos to Mars. 5 remain in orbit.

Create spaceship from 3 Junos and sample on Mars

Launch to propel sample to Mars Orbit.

Attach Sample to 3 Junos in Mars orbit to launch into Mars Cycler.

Which leaves.

3 probes on Mars surface. (Please delete as not needed.)

1 sample in Mars Cycler

2 Junos left in Mars orbit. These are for sale for $1 each if you want to test landing.

End turn for now $20 outstanding.

Who is next?

Bare sample moves into Earth Cycler, with 3 :hourglass: .

Back to @lalunaverde. ¤15 in hand.

I’ll be away this weekend. Will get back on Monday

I think it’s amazing we’ve surveyed the whole of the inner planets by 1966.

Sorry, you need the Synthesis advancement to buy that.

Ah I’ll research Life Support. I dont think I can afford Synthesis which is the next one

@lalunaverde . If you want I can give you life support. You can then buy synthesis and give me a copy of the tech?
