Answer 2

When I prepared for the voyage to Mars I knew it would be long and difficult. However, I did not realise at that time that food would be the most serious problem. When the spaceship was launched, I felt very hungry. I arranged for my favourite snacks to be smuggled on board so I was certain I would have a nice first meal in space. But it turned out that someone had apparently forgotten to do it and that I had to live on tubes of tasteless paste for the next week. 

But the day I landed on Mars was my lucky one. I was approaching the surface of the planet when a meteor hit the ship. Right after that, one of those funny little doors I had never opened fell off and heaps of chips and Mars bars landed on the floor. 

I was so busy eating that I did not manage to land on Mars in the end. When I came back to Earth, I told them that I had some trouble with the engine and I did not make the landing. But you know the truth now.
