Crew 219 Sol Summary Report 14-01-2020 Sol: 9 Summary Title: Taco Tuesday! Author's name: Dave Masaitis Mission Status: Nominal Sol Activity Summary: There is no Tuesday better than Taco Tuesday. The morning started with coffee and a light breakfast as the crew got up and started performing their normal routines around the Hab. The sun shone brightly and everyone’s mood was light and jovial, as crew members busied themselves and joked amongst one another. H. Blackburn prepared tuna tacos for lunch, to the great enjoyment of everyone present, and then the EVA support team went downstairs to prepare suits for EVA #14’s 1300 departure. Checklists were followed, and EVA #14 exited the airlock a minute early. They returned an hour and a half later with a bag full of samples, and the much of the crew spent the afternoon in the science dome investigating and cataloging the new scientific material, while K. Crisman collected his biometric data from the EVA’s participants. The crew then sat down and wrote their evening’s reports while H. Blackburn effortlessly whipped up a delicious chicken pot pie...of which there were no leftovers. After Comms window, the team will meet one more time to discuss tomorrow’s plan before bedding down for another full day on Mars. The sun shines on us again, and the planet is finally starting to peek some red terrain out from under sheets of snow!
