Mornings begin really early in the Hab. Usually around 5am one can see the glimpses of light under the doors of certain crew members. Jetlag doesn’t give up on me so at this time I usually read. This morning’s reading brought this insight to me. There are two main things that are really important in life. First: quality of our relationships with other people. Second: whether or not we will have enough courage to admit who we really are and make our dreams come true. At MDRS we practice both. While we play board games and when we climb a rock on an EVA. When we cook diner and when we try to contact the ISS. When we water the plants in the GreenHab and when we work on gypsum in the Science Dome. Even when we just wait in silence the end of depressurization in the Airblock.
And traditionally a new poem for the audience:
Walking on the sand to roam
We found an ancient blackened bone
Further still were polished stones
By wind and moving water born
We reached the mighty Phobos peak
And all around saw majesty
The ground was smooth and rough between
We marveled at the things we’d seen
