Objective: A film crew from August Films visited us today recording a documentary on human Mars explorations.

The entire crew was enthusiastic at the opportunity to become movie stars. The film crew followed us on our EVA today. We lead them to Lithe Canyon that provides several different types of backdrops for their story board. Reece, and Susmita, where interview to express their opinions on the political environment, hazards of space travel, and major obstacles for a manned mission to Mars.
