Though I am very exited to be a part of this amazing project, I will be very sad to leave my home (let alone Earth) and my family. But this is an amazing oppurtunity that I didn't think would be a good idea to pass. I do think that I will be spending a lot of time with the cook, for it is my responsiblity to try to find a way to grow things on Mars. Then the cook will make food from what I grow. I think we will all have to be okay with being partially vegetarian, for we will be eating mostly plants.
Another thing I'm wondering about- being from Swaziland, I am used to warm temperatures. And I hear it is very cold on Mars. I hope I am able to adapt.
Since we are all from different countries, we will all be speaking different languages. Since I study Latin, and some languages are derived from Latin, It will help when communicating with the group.
I was talking with the Indonesian nurse with some difficulty. But we managed. (I am pretty sure) She was saying that the americans had sent a space ship to the moon before, called Appollo 13 and the people on it almost died because something went wrong some where along the way. That reminds me how dangerous this will be.
I did go to see the space ship we are going in. It is absolutely enormous! It is as luxurious as a cruise ship, too! I look forward to staying in it. But the most wonderful feature (in my opinion) is the greenhouse that will be installed once we get there!
Well, this will be very interesting. Can't wait to go!
