Rain, rain...

Yes, it's the middle of the day... I'm stuck in a tent next to AR and V because it has suddenly started pouring cold rain outside. I've been out in much worse, but our panoramic camera can't handle much more than drizzle, it's not ruggedized. With six guys and a spacesuit in here, it smells... a bit like a locker room. Overlaid by alkaline fine dust.

Earlier this morning, we had to wait because solar activity knocked down the performance of our satellite link to unusable levels. First solar storms under fair skies, now rain. (shrug)



Otherwise, all software is now apparently working.

Oh, I hope it stops raining soon, and thank you SO much for letting us experience this vicariously through you. So exciting.

You're welcome! Although I have to admit that the webcam in here makes me feel strange sometimes...

Thanks for the hugs!
