It makes zero sense for Bowman to put him on the landing craft in the middle of a mechanical systems emergency on Mars 1 and further jeopardize all of their abilities to return home safely.
It is clearly night, so Mars 1 should be in range.
Secondly, the bad science—even for 1952: somehow that “valve” is some kind of quartz crystal pressurized in liquid hydrogen to improve the “acoustics” of the signal—huh?

They can simply walk (Willis does this on several occasions, for instance), but they tend to, like young children, be very active, running, bouncing, jumping up and down, and things of that sort... hence the nickname (not actual classification) "bouncers"; especially when contrasted with the almost statuesque Martians the colonists have otherwise encountered....

He says Mars 1 may still be on the night side of Mars. Also, I am not an english native but I prefer to read books in english, this way i get the stylistic undertones.
