Journalist Report Title: A small step for Crew 333
We woke up today for our first day of simulation. After having porridge for breakfast, it was soon time for our first EVA. During the suit-up, we realized there was an issue with the headset in Com’s kit #2, so we switched to the one in Com’s kit #4. Joanna, Antoine, and Marie headed out to explore the surroundings, while Matias stayed back as Com’s officer with help from Zahraa. Meanwhile, Matthias started potting plants for his experiments. The EVA went mostly smoothly. We briefly lost contact with the drone, which meant returning to Pooh’s Corner to retrieve it before continuing on to Cowboy Corner. After taking in the Martian-like landscape and testing the drone, we returned to the Hab for lunch: fried rice prepared by Matias and Zahraa. Matthias also fixed a technical issue he had with the GreenHab data on the Mac.
After eating, we debriefed and shared our thoughts on the first EVA, then finished our EVA report. As the clock approached 2pm, the second group began preparing for their EVA. This time, Matthias, Matias, and Zahraa went out to explore and better understand the subtleties of an EVA. They came back in awe of what they had seen. Their EVA went smoothly and they had no issue finding their way around the martian terrain. During their EVA, Antoine served as Com’s officer, while Marie and Joanna took some time to exercise on the bike. Once everyone was back, we had a small get-together and worked on our reports. Antoine and Matthias later did some exercise together. Tonight’s dinner is shepherd’s pie, and we’re planning to end the day with a movie night.
