Background Information: 

Brief Description: A group of science deniers has become increasingly dangerous. In an effort to prove their claim that all space missions are in fact a lie they are destroying tangible evidence and samples past missions have brought back to Earth. Your mission is to enter a secret NASA/ESA lab before them and retrieve a valuable sample of Martian soil that is believed to have proof of living organisms on Mars. To retrieve the valuable sample, you will need to follow the steps of a Martian mission. Your equipment allows you to carry back only one Martian sample so you will need to make sure that you pick the right one! The secret lab locks automatically once someone enters. To leave the lab you will need to enter a password. The password is the name of the mission that retrieved the valuable sample.
