Time was running out, lander launched from asteroid. No passengers just robotics and supplies. Mars colony had a dust storm. Lander never orbited MARS but when I went back to the asteroid the lander was in a ready to land status. If I lands it doesn't have enough fuel to get home. If asteroid runs out of time due to the dust storm while the lander is in asteroid orbit you lose the lander and all supplies. Shouldn't the lander have been waiting in orbit to land on Mars until after the dust storm cleared like every other rocket from missions? while we are at it why is there no emergency launch for the lander to launch from the asteroid like we have for every other rocket? you have to let the automated process fill or unload fully and then it launches automatically and it kind of isn't consistent with the rest of the design. should just be a button to click and launch or let the automated process work.
