For some the journey had a happy ending. They found food, fresh water, and comfortable temperatures. For others it was more somber. One student wrote “Day 60: We are attempting our landing on Planet Y. Just passed through the asteroid belt. We are really accelerating now as the gravity takes us in. It’s cloudy here. Getting dark.
