Last night after dinner and report submissions, Monish surprised us with a fixed Grogu, which he has named Andres. Crew members had mixed feelings about it, but we’ve all learnt our ways to be around it, or behind it. The crew members worked for a little bit, before heading out for stargazing while everyone. It was the Geminid meteor shower. Some crew members saw more stars than others, but it was still fun. The crew headed back to the Hab around 11:00 PM, winded down for a little bit before calling it a day. Fun fact: Crew Journalist is mostly the first one up every morning, unless other people are up as well, and don’t make their way into the leaving room. Today, the Crew Journalist got up at 5:00 AM, and read Life of Pi before she started to document her research thus far on MDRS. It’s been a good book so far; I’d recommend reading it 5/10. Very humbly written. Ian made coffee and oats for breakfast. Spruha and Rashi worked during comms. In the morning we played Spruha and Peter’s songs. It was another EVA Day for Ian, Monish, and Peter. It was Peter’s first long EVA! Hunter, Spruha, and Rashi get to stay back in the Hab and focus on their individual research projects. Spruha worked on getting the rover ready for testing. She is working on the software side of it now. Rashi started documenting her research for the mid-simulation update. At 12:50 PM when the EVA crew got back, everyone had left over spaghetti for lunch. Hunter left for the GreenHab to work on the GreenHab to take care of the plants. The mission support team came to the RAM to provide maintenance to the RAM. Afterwards, Monish went to the RAM to work on his sensors and get some more soldering work done. At 5:00 PM, Monish came back, and Hunter started cooking semi-processed alien meat and fried rice. We are all either relaxing today or working on reports and planning or working towards research for the rest of the days.
