Crew Commander: Lycourgos Manolopoulos

I took a nap today and it was fantastic. Now I know why everyone takes them. The Commander’s room has a window and allowed the pale sunlight reflecting off the snowcapped terrain to put me to sleep. We had no EVA today so everyone had the chance to relax and conduct personal research in the HAB. Some crew members haven’t seen Star Wars, so we started the marathon today from Episode IV (technically episode I, but let’s not get into that). Well, to be honest, I don’t know how they made it this far without watching any of the episodes. This should have been a requirement during the screening process.

No anomalies to report today, everything is working fine. Our engineer seems to have some minor back problems, however, this is nothing too major from the looks of it. I had similar problems a couple days ago, but I applied some heat with our hand warmers and over a couple of days the pain completely vanished. I told him to do the same and we will wait for the results. He’ll be fine.
