Red Mars, Green Mars
Mars is known for its reddish color in the night sky and this crew can confirm that the dirt out here is quite red. Each EVA tracks in some dust and this morning’s crew brought in a whole beach’s worth of sand which we had to sweep up afterwards. The red of the Martian terrain is a unique sort of beautiful, but it’s nothing compared to the wonderful green in our GreenHab. This module might be the best in the whole complex. The GreenHab has lots of tomatoes, onions, and basil which we used to make a tasty spaghetti dinner tonight. Not only is it full of plants and veggies to eat, but it’s always warm – and Mars is very cold. Especially today. The GreenHab was a true oasis of warmth today while our main hab heater struggled to keep up with the wind and cold and our crew engineer tried to fix it.
