In the morning we’ve welcomed our heroes returning from the night in the SWAMP! They’re mostly well, if a bit tired and cold but we could tell they were happy to see us. After all, we’ve welcomed them with inka coffee in our hands ;). We’ve had open radio throughout the night, and reestablished connection at 7.30, so they could be back by 9, and all happened according to schedule. This perfectly sets the mood for our participatory design session happening in the afternoon. We’ve got a lot of observations from these last days, which we’re writing down in journals, as part of ethnographic research for the Media Officer, who is doing her thesis on the Return to the Moon. We’ve printed some photos with the Xiaomi Mini Printer to include in our journals and we’re trying to catch our breath today, as more EVAs and tasks await us in the following days.
Our Engineer is 3D printing a mounting plate for three centrifugal fans we’re attaching to the old VKK helmet to make it into a functional life support system. And, we’re making a cake – without sugar – did we mention we’re eating clean with no sugar and no coffee? We’re also working out every day, both in VR using Beat Saber, Pistol Whip and Audiotrip and Half-Life Alyx 😉 and from a shared YouTube playlist we’ve created on the central HabCom account, which all day displays our calendar and tasks for each day. Without it we’d be completely lost in time and space.
