first off you have to press the required combinations of asdf and space at the right time to "trigger" commands - this is all shown by the control panel on the left - after a few stages of this you have to stabilise the ship using the arrow keys (whilst doing more stages of the asdf commands - then when you've got that cracked you use the control keys to use the thrusters, along with the direction arrows and more asdf commands to get it to land.

its quite good in a multitask / puzzle kind of way.....

Good work, I was foxed because the instructions are not in the same order as what you have to do.

I end up floating under a parachute rocking gently then run out of time... the 250m/s descent indicated is more like 6m/s.

Oh dear, it's been moved to a computer forum. This is not a post about 'computer games', it's a post about the future of space travel, exploration and the general furtherance of mankind... it got some replies when it was in the forum I chose for it, and now it's not getting any at all because it's nothing to do with computer games. Well done mods.

Anyway, I dodged the Mars landing issue, downloaded the Mars Rover jobbie and have been happily driving around the Martian surface doing various things. The sampler is the trickiest.





BTW I have no idea what 'Forza 3' is and do not possess a PSP Gameboy.

Such is the Wisdom of the Mods.

It makes about as much sense as wiping before you poop.
