First day back on Earth! We are happy to welcome crew 149!

1 – Arrival of crew 149

Crew 149 arrived earlier than expected, around 12:30. They signed their paperwork right away

and we will put them in the mailbox tomorrow upon leaving.

While we were having lunch and finishing some of the out-of-sim cleaning (e.g. Outside), they

started installing their replacement GreenHab. We then helped them mount the structure and it

is now partially mounted. They will finish it tomorrow before getting in sim.

2 – General training

Our crew engineer Duarte trained half of the crew on ATVs while our crew XO and HSO Tiffany

trained the other half on suits, backpacks and helmets.

Our crew scientist Nuno then had them go through Hal and created an account for each of them.

3 – Specific training

Each crew member of our crew then took one or two crew members of crew 149 with them to tell

them about their roles: XO, engineer, HSO, journalist, astronomer, scientist, Greenhab officer,

and commander. Each of us showed them how to write and submit their report.

4 – Other

Louise and Duarte cooked some delicious Mexican lasagnas and Tiffany prepared some wonderful

desserts of chocolate and butterscotch pudding!

The whole crew wants to thank MDRS and the Mars Society for giving us the opportunity to live

this adventure together and for supporting us for two weeks.
