commander-report Crew 182 09Nov2017
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 1o 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 up to
70 degrees F (20 degrees C) near the equator, but at night the temperature can
plummet to about minus 100 degrees F (minus 73 C). (Source: https://www.space.com/16907-what-is-the-temperature-of-mars.html)
Something very pleasant today was
watch the sunrise in the mountains. I perceive how We are not aware about how
the cosmic influences are affecting life. Just look the sun! It is a star and
it is so close and far from us, influencing so many cycles of our life, from
the agriculture to our communication systems.
8h40m – The Brazilian TV Globo
arrived earlier than We imagined. From the MDRS corridors I talked with Luigi Sofio
(reporter) and Lucio Rodrigues (cinegraphist) and introduced myself. Was good
to talk with someone on portuguese. Since their arrival until 13h, We presented
all the attention to Them. They did images of our systems and procedures and
also the research activities.
11h – We did the EVA activity. Was
very hard. Was my first EVA. Would possible to see how the spacesuit would restricts
simple human activities. I felt excited with it. This moves me. A spacesuit
would be my future?
We did a lot of work today, outside.
Today was very shiny and I considered that Brazilian TV did very, very good
images. What sincronicity We have a bright day as today.
In the EVA We collected soil samples
and visit the ravines and some mountains of Mars. Was hard climb some mountains
wearing the spacesuits, considering the limitations of movement. It is
necessary presents a great attention and care to avoid an accident. But the EVA
was a challenger and an achievement.
13h – I prepared the lunch: small bakes
of rice and cheddar with broccoli and peas.
13h40m – We lunched. We had a lot to
clean up.
15h40m – The guys of the EVA: Me
(Julio), Brandon and Atila felt tired, because the sun radiation was to high
today. So everybody decide take a nap.
17h40m – I woke up from my nap. It
is good remember about the CapComm later. Good time to listen Slayer and finish
the reports. J
18h20m – Camila and Carmen prepared
sweet rice for tonight.
19h – CapComm. Today I walked the
total of 5,8 km.
