I don't know about the other Yuri Night parties, but I think ours would compare very well. We all had a blast, dancing and joking and getting rowdy, and again we did it together.

With the sim completed, today we began to wrap things up. We started the Hab cleaning, began portions of the shutdown checklist, and have been writing our summary reports.

We also found time to collect data for a habitation volume/floor area survey that I'll feed back to NASA-JSC, obtain weight data on our EVA suit components, and complete a detailed end-of-the-season suit inspection.

Elizabeth says she has finally received the weather she has been waiting for the whole rotation: clear skies, no wind, not too cold. The Observatory is open tonight!
