I have friends... Kinda

Hey remember that creepy girl that I talked about a long time ago? Well absolutely nothing happened so stop holding your breath. JET is about to announce a special project though and I'm very excited. I dont know what you think but secret moon training groups that deal with rovers and deep freezing are generally pretty exciting.
Speaking of exciting I got some little friends today. The supervisors picked a few students with extra time and gave them charge over a test experiment. Unfortunately it's nothing really cool like a hostile plant or dangerous rock specimens but I guess mutated goldfish are pretty cool. All students involved were given 7 subjects. Mine are numbers 236 through 243 because quite a few died before they figured out the conditions to keep them alive. I don't personally know myself but they gave me their habitat, some supplies and an instruction manual so I'll keep you (me) updated

Pleasant pauses and touchy training

Man, that zero gravity training is intense. The water training was kind of easy because i liked swimming on earth, here it isn't any different. The zero gravity thing though... I dunno it's pretty crazy. If you make the slightest move you'll gain momentum and won't stop moving until you make another move to contradict it. It's like being weightless... Probably because you are. It's not very easy to describe because there's nothing anything like it, besides swimming. If there's nothing to compare to I don't know if it's possible to describe it.
Since I'm clueless on how to tell myself what I just did, (which sounded a lot better in my head)I'm going to tell you about the work we did instead of the conditions.
We were working on a satellite look-alike to simulate a real situation. We had to repair a solar panel and do a checkup on the rest of the parts. If we didn't do it right we had to do it again because you can't mess up satellites, it costs the government millions (good thing it was a fake satellite). I wonder when JET is going to do something again, it's been a long time since we did anything. That could be good because it means less work...but it could be bad and mean we have to get back on schedule the hard way. I just love periods in groups of three, they add such pleasant pauses...

Tight spaces and learning places

Well I learned what we need to continue, well that is I know what we need. I didn't learn it yet. What we still need is tool training. We need to learn how to use tools properly and safely, otherwise the weightless training would be useless any more advanced than we're learning.
Not only do we need to learn how to use the tools though. We have to learn to do it in a space suit... Then do it underwater. Then after we do it in low gravity we have to go to a machine similar to the one on earth and do it "zero gravity".
That doesn't sound fun to me, at least if you drops screw in low gravity you know it will go down, in zero gravity it could go anywhere.
If it's part of training though we have to deal with it,

I don't need logs

Well it's true, in space we don't need logs. we build out of metals and plastics.
Just kidding, what I really mean is I don't need my log book apparently because I haven't used it for days. They say you'll go crazy but I have too much to do to go crazy.
Today we went swimming, it was training for weightless situations though and not pleasure. We have to get used to low gravity or no gravity so we went swimming in our space suits. It was very close to what the moons gravity felt like so I thought it was a great training technique. I hear were going to further our training in this area later though because first we need to learn other things to get better, what other things are there? We learned everything we need for that situation I'm pretty sure...

Studying jetpacks with JET

Well now that I have something besides rolling widgets I want to talk to myself some more (and to whoevers monitoring this, I know they wouldn't just let us have these and not use them as monitoring tools).
Today we studied jet packs, I know we already did that but that was just basics. Now were learning more than just how to operate them in an emergency situation. I'm learning basic repairs, advanced functions and how to handle real life situations. Such as; what do you do if your out of jet fuel and slowly floating out into space, you have no tether and only 10 minutes of oxgen left.
The answer apparently is to radio for another jetpacker because as students it's too risky to use the emergency fuel, it's more potent and if you use too much at once it can leak into your suit or explode... And personally I'd rather use the radio than potentially explode

Darn those... Things

It went pretty well... The extra testing that is.
A couple of "simulated" rovers almost got tipped but no one failed epicly or got kicked out of JET. tommorow comes testing on the rovers. Is there really anything I can talk about not related to rovers?
Let's see, solar power... No the rovers are solar powered.
Today's activities? Naw, they were all rover based as well.
Well since I'm sick and tired of... "them" and there's nothing else to talk about I'll end it here
