Sol Summary – November 13th

November 13, 2016 | Permalink

Sol Summary Report (SSR):

Sol# 51

Person filling out report: Annalea Beattie

Summary Title: Almost the supermoon and a great day off.

Mission Status: On track

Sol Activity Summary:

Pancakes always on our day off, and eggs, sausages, coffee.

On his day of rest today Yusuke got in touch with his inner plant as he spent some time soaking up the sun through the round window in close proximity with Heather Hava’s smartpot project. He found he related especially well to the dark purple mizuna, performing a special botanical mind meld between human and plant. Meanwhile, Jon Clarke is protecting his coriander and dill from others (and says he is beginning to understand the American right to bear arms). Anastaysia and Alex ground up gypsum and baked it to make plaster. We all had a relaxing morning and this afternoon, please see below, an anomaly.

MDRS lessons:

  1. Go green, dont fight it.

Plans: Hypolith EVA tomorrow

Crew Physical Status: very rested and relaxed today.

Weather: warm and sunny.

Anomalies:  This afternoon we were invited to the Canadian Space Agency camp for a group photo with all of our neighbours – the Canadians (CSA) along with the British Rover Trials team (MURFI) and (DLR) the team from German Rover trials.

This meant we had to break sim for an hour.

Although we were initially reluctant, it was really so wonderful to be part of such an international group, all together under the almost supermoon.

See our great pictures. Sometimes anomalies are fabulous.

“Seasons of Mars -How do you measure a 160days in the life?” / Yusuke Murakami

(A parody of the song from “Seasons Of Love” by Rent)

 

Two hundred thirty thousand four hundred minutes

Two hundred thirty thousand moments so dear

Two hundred thirty thousand four hundred minutes

How do you measure, measure a 160days?

In daylights, in sunsets In midnights, in cups of coffee

In inches, in miles, in laughter, in strife

In two hundred thirty thousand four hundred minutes

How do you measure a 160days in the life?

How about Mars?

How about Mars?

How about Mars?

Measure in SIM

Seasons of Mars

Seasons of Mars

Two hundred thirty thousand four hundred minutes

Two hundred thirty thousand journeys to plan

Two hundred thirty thousand four hundred minutes

How do you measure the life of a woman or a man?

In truths that she learned

Or in times that he cried

In bridges he burned

Or the way that she survived!

It’s time now, to sing out

Though the story never ends

Let’s celebrate

Remember a 160days in the life of crews

Remember the SIM

(Oh, you got to, you got to remember the SIM)

Remember the SIM

(Feel Mars, touch Mars, desire Mars)

Measure in Mars

(Measure, measure your life in SIM)

Seasons of Mars
