The preceding photos, and those that follow clearly show one of Dan's Monkey's  "Banana Brew" fuelled vehicles landed on Mars.  He is apparently using the ice found there to distill water, Oxygen and Hydrogen to be used as fuel for his return voyage.  We are not sure of any other reason he would be on Mars except as a secure location for his pirate website hijinks, which was last attempted from orbit in (Section deleted) and was defeated by (section deleted).

His trademark Tricycle vehicle is seen being used as some sort of rover/scout car. It appears to be solar powered.

We have based the following images upon inside information as to the layout of the interior cabin.  The vehicle appears to have two engines for ascent, and one larger one for descent.  Food storage and waste facilities may be on the lower deck, near the fuel tanks.

I built this little ship out of a Ferraro Roche chocolate candy egg, which are available during Easter time.  They are approximately 7 inches tall, and pull apart into two clear sections. This allows the masking off of windows, and an interior to be inserted easily. I scratch built the interior, using sheet styrene and greeblies from my parts department. The Mon-Key is a figure from the "HeroClicks" gaming collection. The landing gear came from a Monogram 1/48 scale lunar module, as did the antennas. The exterior and interior foil came from several "Caramilk" bars. The base was made from a sheet of styrofoam and several grades and clours of railroad ballast, leaning heavily into the red end to give a nice, rusty Mars look.

I was tempted to weather the vehicle up more, but it looked nice the way it was and more importantly, I kept adding more and more to the whole idea and it was never reaching completion!
