We had more training with our work teams today. Ernst wants us to be ready to get started the instant we get there, of course. It’s gonna be crazy. Seven days a week, twelve to fourteen hours a day, for twelve weeks. I’m going to be a zombie when it’s done.
If all goes according to plan, though, we should have soil in four weeks, starting with nothing but asteroid slurry. It’s pretty cool, that life is that good at expanding, even if it is life that we tweaked a bit.
We also got to do some work in low orbit, which is fun. I worked with the enviro team a bit and my roomies a bit, doing some drills and zero-g construction tasks.
Yadira got a bit queasy. Luckily for her, the comm jobs can be done from the spun (that means artificial gravity, folks) sections of the statioon, so she should be fine most of the time.
I must point out that, despite Yadira’s queasiness, she did manage to run me into an I-beam that we were using in a construction exercise. Well played, Yadira. Well played.
