Today was Tang Yue's fifth sol of being trapped on Mars.
He didn't have the time to bother about any possible reappearance of the Earth. According to the plan, the Eagle would launch within the next twelve hours. Tomcat had made him get some rest; after all, Tang Yue had been working nonstop for more than ten hours. Yet, he came out again after resting for just half an hour in the sleeping quarters.
"Aren't you going to get more rest?" Tomcat was tweaking the computer in Kunlun Station as a long charging cable extended from the back of its ass.
"I've had enough rest."
"Aren't you afraid of dying from exhaustion?"
"It can wait until the Eagle is launched." Tang Yue wore a pair of pants and draped an insulation blanket over him. "Only then would it be a worthy death."
It was 04:55, 16 August 2052 A.D. based on Earth's calendar.
The wind speed outside was at 39 m/s.
