Postcards from Mars (Day 3) ()

Another great day in the Martian desert of Utah, USA. Our third day was another busy one. But first, I want to share a special moment with you. Three of my colleagues (Bill, Nancy and Andrea) are on an EVA; as I write, I am in the Hab with Jan and David. We are working on our computers, listening to an old American song (‘A horse with no name’) and in the background we can hear the radio hissing with the conversation between our three EVA companions. The sun is shining and it is warm in the Hab. And suddenly I feel transported to another place while I am writing to ‘Earth’. It makes me feel like we are really are on Mars doing the exploratory work. It is a great feeling!
