Christmas on Mars

We opened stocking and stuff this morning, it was a lot of fun. We all miss our families but we made the best of the situation. Nick's students made us all awesome cards, how cool is that! We all bummed around for most of the day and watched movies and stuff. Tomorrow, back to work!


MDRS Crew 31 celebrates Christmas Eve by hanging stockings decorated for each other.


Oh Christmas Rock-with-bulbous-plant-and-old-dead-bone, your leaves are sooo...non-existant...

More pictures tomorrow...sleep now

Hey Andrew,

Looks like you are having an amazing time on Mars! I only wish I could be having as much fun as you (being a CivE, even for only 3 more weeks, can't compete, you know I'm a MechE at heart). Have a great time, and I can't wait to see you back at school!

Kate

P.S. You're gonna love your Christmas present... unfortunately I couldn't find a Mars to Earth mail service.

All bow to the awesome power of the Christmas rock. Glad to see that you still had a Christmas. Even in Utah, err...on Mars. Kudos.

Andrew,

This blog is a great way to chronicle our unforgettable mission. It looks awesome!
I especially like the new gold screws on the remote power module. (bling! bling!)
I wish you success in the coming semester.
I sincerely hope that Crew 31's mission is far from over. Talk to you soon.

Peace,

Nick
