Report from Sol 7
Reporting from Sol 7 10.19.25 19:12PM. Crew had our most impactful night of the mission. Perhaps because it was mid-mission, or perhaps because we finally had showers, but we had a burst of energy to go stargazing by the Solar Observatory until the early hours of the morning. We gazed at the stars through Crew Engineer Ricardo J. Gonzalez’s binoculars and got a closer look at Jupiter, which at first appeared to be a campfire on the horizon. A few of us remarked that we had never seen that many stars and the Milky Way so clear. It formed a perfect half circle over our heads and we discussed everything from heliocentrism to pondering the edges of the universe.
We then had a ‘lazy’ Sunday and I only use that term in the sense that we did not have any EVAs. Instead, the crew caught up on some rest, position duties, and spent the afternoon participating in media for both the Crew Journalist Mackenzie Calle and the Commander Rym Chaid. Safe to say there has to be at least one good photo in the bunch.
We are planning EVAs for tomorrow and looking forward to Ricardo’s plantains and a postponed movie night from last night to watch The Martian.
