Journalist Report Title: Terraforming Mars
For breakfast we had cinnamon and nutmeg pancakes before getting ready for the first EVA. The first EVA was going to be Ben, Armand, and Keegan going to Candor Chasma to collect more soil samples, however due to bad weather we decided to switch the EVAs. This means that Vindhya, Katharina, and I had to quickly get ourselves ready and all our equipment ready quickly and go on EVA. While on EVA Vindhya and I tried to collect data on the rover, although due to ports getting dirt in them, we could not connect the components correctly. For the rest of the time, we helped Kathrina collect data for her research project around the hab. Also, due to the bed weather the second EVA was cancelled.
While we were out on EVA, some people took showers, and once we got back we also took showers. I can now say the hab smells better. Also, during and after EVA people worked on their daily responsibilities. Later, Keegan, Ben, Idris, and I played Terraforming Mars for four hours before Keegan won the game by far with 99 points. Afterwards, we all went our separate ways and relaxed before working on our reports and making breakfast for dinner, which will include more pancakes and Spacon. The rest of the night will consist of eating dinner, working on projects, and hanging out before going to bed.
