Mars has had around a dozen outposts in that time. What interesting thing can change the mood of a group of lost travelers on Mars?
It can be said in general or with a few lines of story build up.
Example
Hey guys, imagine yourself making it through this and being lost in your hometown without a Google Map.
No words can be interesting in a grave situation like then, where people are lost on Mars and not even sure if they would ever be able to find their way back home again and even uncertain about their survival - except for something which can give them a ray of hope, show some light at the end of the tunnel. Not sure about your storyline, but you will have to think on these lines to lift up their moods.
The details about if those outposts can communicate with themselves or earth are also missing. Maybe something where one of the outposts could find a way to repair their communication equipment, and it's possible that soon they could be able to contact earth.
