This is an extremely hopeless situation. People put a lot of effort and money into getting this little spacecraft into orbit around the sun.

"What is the exact impact time of the Moth impactor?" Alex inquired.
"At half past three tomorrow." Hao Fei answered.
"Okay." Alex shrugged.
Alex and Virat remained silent at Base No. 1, waiting for the outcome of the punishment.
