MDRS Log Book - January 30, 2002
Shakedown Crew Report
Schedule

The crew tended to stay up late as have crews at Flashline. It could have been jet lag or just the excitement of being on Mars. Although this is not a typical crew and future crews won't be building the hab, there are things to be learned from this schedule. One could imagine a crew living like this. Working and talking late. Setting into routines and patterns even in the chaos of construction. The crew seemed to always be busy doing something. This is something that we have seen on other crews on Devon. There is so much to do, but explaining what we do all day is hard. The first day was left out as it was devoted entirely to settling in, construction and sight seeing. The last day was also left out as it was mostly devoted to driving back to Denver.

The following is the schedule the crew kept.
