Today was a big day for Joanna’s experiment. She took out first Matthias, Marie and Zahraa to collect data with a tap strap near Cowboy Corner. All the gestes were perfectly recorded. Marie stayed at the station to be cap com. This outing was quickly completed and the Crew was able to make it back to the station for about half ten. This allowed alot of time for the Crew to get together and plan our last few days at the station, to make sure we’d be able to go to all the correct spots for the different experiments. Once we had a good overview of the coming days, we had time to do an inventory of the food that we have left to finish off our week and plan our upcoming meals. For lunch we had some soup with some bread which Matthias had made today. Joanna headed back out with Antoine and Matias to Cowboy corner to finish off her experiment. Unfortunately, her tap strap stopped working and she wasn’t able to collect all the data of Antoine’s gestures. So they had to come back to the Station without having completed everything. The rest of the afternoon was more rest for the Crew, we seem to be still very jet lagged and not sleeping very well. Matias passed the time by tidying the cables and making them more manageable in the long run. The vibes picked back up around half five when Matthias and Zahraa started preparing dinner: tuna and mashed potatoes. An odd combination but on mars, a delicacy! The tunes were playing in the kitchen while Marie was doing a face mask to rehydrate her face after being in the harsh martian weather for a little over a week now. Matthias had spent the most of his day working in the greenhab and checking his seeds to see if there was any germination. After dinner, the crew had time for a board game before heading for an early night.
