Where no simulation has gone before

“Let’s head for Marine Rock and take the Autobahn home,” suggested Peter Lee, the navigator on today’s extravehicular activity, the 19th of our rotation. Jody Tinsley commanded this one, with Steve McDaniel our Ghost Rider. Peter made his suggestion about a half-hour from the Hab; we’d been gone since 14:18, or 2:18 p.m. to you folks back home, and it was now around 21:00, or 9 p.m. I turned Festus, my all-terrain vehicle for the day, for Marine Rock, relieved to be that close to the Hab. It was an exhilarating day, but I was ready for the spaghetti supper that was waiting for us back home.
