The continuation of our epic rescue attempt (with epic levels of lag), in this episode the Planet Explorer 8 Bus aerobrakes into Duna's orbit and goes to Ike to rescue the long-forlorn Edson Kerman, who has been living on Ike for 11 game years.
You know, when you've been stuck on a lifeless moon for 11 years like Edson Kerman has, making puppets out of moon rocks to be your imaginary friends, eating food made of your own recycled waste products, you will take pretty much any ride home that comes along. A ride like the Planet Explorer 8 Bus. A ride with a proven capacity for disaster. You would ride on a cursed doomed rocket ship and risk feeding your entrails to the babies of the Space Kraken just for the possibility of a little company, some false hope of rescue and some hot chocolate. Yes, you would. ;)
No, seriously, we're gonna rescue these guys. Seriously. We have the technology. Don't look at that man behind the curtain...
