Something goes wrong, however, and the lander malfunctions, crashing into the Mars surface.After the space ship crashes, five of the six crew are left alive: Luca, Jenny, Fidel, Suzanna and Herbert. The captain dies in the crash from a broken neck.After a few days, the scientist on board, Luca, announces that if they are to be rescued, it will take over two years for a ship to reach them.
