Commander's Report

April 22, 2008

Another long day, starting quite late because of last night's EVA. We
have started with an ATV EVA to south, for change detection, then we
have made scenes for the film, making a 21st century version of
Courbet's Stone Breakers; then a new version for the Little Prince's
flower under a glass globe; then we deployed the rover near Erica's
Hill and made connection by the rovers' Wi-Fi to the Hab. After
returning we went to the next EVA, in pressurized rover. Since we
planned to go to Hanksville, we made special precautions: a microbe
filtering mask under the helmet. After Hanksville we went to Factory
Butte, but it was sunset, which was good for the film but we had to
return because it got dark and the task of report writing was waiting
for us.
