After the astronauts walked in here, they started a thorough inspection to see how things were going here.
All of this would be their future food supplies, and improving their meals would depend on these, so they had to be carefully tended.
Once the five astronauts completed these tasks, they prepared to leave the base and head outside to carry out today's mission.
Going outside is different from being inside the base; they definitely need the protection of space suits.
Soon, the five astronauts put on their space suits and left the Mars Base through the airlock.
After leaving the base, the astronauts boarded a specially-designed train, heading towards the distant horizon under the Martian morning sun.
The destination for the astronauts today was a nearby platinum mine, and the time for official extraction was coming soon.
The five astronauts rode in a specially designed Mars Rover to a basin near the base.
