Hello Earth, last day on Mars for us today. We welcomed the next crew

this afternoon.

After two weeks of seeing always the same faces, it’s good to have

others people in the Hab.

The best is to run free outside, open all the doors, and explore the

desert without the space suits and helmets which didn’t allow us to

freely observe the incredible beauty of the desert!

We made a tour around the Hab, and explain them everything that’s

working good, and everything that’s not. Some of them who were already

come here years ago, and it’s funny to hear what have changed for all

this time!

We will have dinner together after the CapCom, Shannon is already

here. Her Martian dogs too… I think the Hab will hear a lot of

conversations tonight. We are more than twice more than usually.

I past the hand, or the keyboard, to them. Hope they will make some

good work here.

Greetings Terrans:

Crew 167A arrived today and received our in-briefing from Mathieu and

his crew. All incoming 167A crew members paired up with their 166

counterparts and covered the appropriate duties and safety

considerations.

Chef Julie prepared a pizza dinner for us to enjoy while we discuss

more aspects of living on Mars. After dinner, Nadine and Mathieu will

be giving us a tour of the observatory.

Crew 167A is looking forward to commencing our research.
