jayThe weather has settled in... we can expect days of overcast, drizzle and sleet, with lots of wind. It isn't going to get better, so I felt today that we should press onward with the human-in-spacesuit tests... no breaks. No baths, no sleeping in.
New acronym: RMI, for AR-management-issue. Widely used around camp.hopeforyou can doubtlessly think of several AR-wrangling issues herself...
But it wasn't bad, or else my standards have lowered. After lunch, we took the Hamilton-Sundstrand prototype Mars suit out to Site 11 and ran a sim there with a human geologist (from the Univ. of Calgary, shown
The test was successfully concluded.... the human noticed and investigated the hydrothermal vents and fossiliferous ejecta block (in photo) , while yesterday the rover team was too intent on getting elsewhere to notice local significant features...
Otherwise, I'm way lonely, cold, and wish I could share warmth with someone. And I'm a bit sad because a friend appears to be distancing zirself. But it is time to drive up the hill and refill the generator...

Date: 2002-07-28 12:32 pm (UTC)I know it's not easy, and I totally get that it is cold and lonely. I sure don't know how I'd deal with that. (Something I never really faced, when thinking about being a crew member: the emotional aspect. The rest of it was too important to me to start worrying about how I might feel. And yet the thought of the emotional impact of just the training kept me from applying in the first place.) I wish the utter coolness of the job could outweigh the negatives for you. Perhaps it does?
I'm one of the ones back down here thinking about you, FWIW.
