Commander's Report

Virgiliu Pop Reporting



At the time the commander is writing this report, Haritina is preparing to fix the telescope; being an astronomer is a fulfilling, yet demanding job.

The same Haritina woke up this morning to give an interview to Radio New Zealand. Romanian she may be, yet she is also a New Zealand citizen, and she is preparing to lead the first antipodean mission to the MDRS - KiwiMars. Stand-by for the first Hakka performed on Mars!

As the interview was done out-of-sim - we could not afford the 20-minute time-lag between the Earth and Mars- we decided to take a break from sim - all except Iulia - and take the pressurized rover to Earth - not that very far away though.

We are now back on Mars, and tomorrow morning we will begin our last sim day, finishing the building of the solar clock.
