At total I walked today 130 minutes. Today didn’t happened EVA. 17h20m – I’m working in my research related with sustainability in MDRS: Sustainability in MDRS: lessons to Mars research habitats and setlements Researcher: Prof. Julio Francisco Dantas de Rezende, PhD. This research searches to answer the question: the Ma...

            Today is our 7 th day. During certain time of my life I had practiced open water swimming. I did some crossing spending more than 3 or 4 hours. Then, my feeling about this mission in MDRS,   I would compare as a sea crossing when you are swimming, and also at same time, start to do some statistics in your mind, about how many percent have you swum. In both situations, your mind just need to be fine! In our case, in our crossing, the main issue is to keep the good relationship, kindness and respect with each other. Now I’m looking our days here.

My soundtrack of last night: ACDC live in River Plate stadium, Buenos Aires.:) Camila did a delicious fried rice. Thank You!:) 4h30m – I woke up early today. Sometimes the heating system switches off. So we need to check. This is also a possibility in Mars. Many times, in Mars, the heating systems will not function properly. So, will be necessary a lot of resilience about. Try to fix or deal with the consequences. The commander's room is unique with natural lighting. This helps me to woke up early. 7h02m – I walked 40 minutes, something around 2,5 km. Was 1 o C. In the beginning of the exercise was very difficult. I never did exercises in a temperature like this. This is also about resilience. In Mars the temperature can be so low. According to Space.com, on average, the temperature on Mars is about minus 80 degrees F (minus 60 degrees C). In winter, near the poles temperatures can get down to minus 195 degrees F (minus 125 degrees C). A summer day on Mars may get u...
