Ayako Ono
Today is also become a media day. However, it was cloudy Sunday with
occasional rain. This 9th day was started with the sound track of Star
Trek. “Song was good”, mentioned by a commander about yesterday night.
Mountain Feast was actually re-scheduled to tonight. We changed our
schedule with nice flexibility. First interview became about me from
about 9:40. The experiment of Habitability Project focusing on Nature
Sounds was performed in this morning for last one participant. Data
was precisely collected, and the experiment was successfully done. I
re-created Zen Garden before lunch. Lunch was tuna and salmon tortilla
associated wasabi cooked by Csilla and me. In the afternoon, there
were interview with Melissa and Csilla, giological EVA by foot and EVA
using ATV for shooting. There was a miscommunication between Mission
Support and a crew member, but it is a kind of thing could be happened
between mission control and astronauts. Commander Melissa was
excellently supported the crew member, and other crew members also
warmly commented. Delicious dinner, Chili with new bread was cooked by
Matt. This was also filmed by media. After the dinner, we played music
with singing like yesterday along with media’s request. We had a good
day and will have Mountain Feast soon.
