Recap

Mars Mission 1 approaches the surface of Mars and gets permission from Mission Control to land. Captain Black brings the ship down and goes out onto the surface with Hinkston and Henley. They confirm that the atmosphere is breathable and remove their helmets. They hear a rooster crowing in the distance and look toward the noise. They can see trees in the distance and notice that they're standing on grass. They move toward the forest and find birds, and then hear the sound of a lawnmower. Continuing on, they find a small midwestern town that Hinkston identifies as Green Town, Illinois. Henley suggests that they somehow circled around but Black insists that they confirmed their course every inch of the way. Hinkston wonders if they hit a time warp and returned to Earth, but Black points out that they know they were in orbit above Mars before landing. Black contacts Larson aboard the ship and tells him not to let anyone leave the ship...
