Report from Sol 6
Reporting from Sol 6 10.18.25 6:57PM. We are at the midpoint of our mission! The time flew by and we are planning to have a movie night tonight with popcorn and watch The Martian to celebrate, plus Ricardo is going to cook some plantains. The crew is also celebrating by having our first showers since mission start, much needed and much appreciated.
The theme of the day has again been two – two EVAs, with two crew, for 2.5 hours each. Crew Scientist Shriya Musuku and Crew Engineer Ricardo J. Gonzalez embarked on the first EVA this morning, departing in Curiosity Rover. The crew has experienced some navigation questions so we decided to explore up to Galileo Road and beyond to Cowboy Corner. They then returned closer to MDRS at Pooh’s Corner, collecting geological samples to bring back to the Science Dome for analysis. They experienced a few aliens along the way but did not make contact.
EVA Crew 2 today with Commander Rym Chaid and Crew Journalist Mackenzie Calle made their way on foot to Pooh’s Corner. Under the heat of the afternoon they proceeded from the station towards Pooh’s Corner, collecting geological samples along the way and capturing media needs. They also encountered what those on Earth would describe as an ant hill during their EVA. Crew then returned to the hab.
