Saturday, March 10: Rest and relaxation

Today, being Saturday, was the first day with any relaxation.

Several of the team members went out searching for parts to redo the circuitry in the morning. Then the team headed to the beach in Galveston where we met up with NASA co-ops and other teams in our flight week.

The weather was beautiful, and we played volleyball. In the evening we headed to our NASA mentor’s house for dinner with the USC team. We met two astronauts and a flight surgeon!

They were fascinating to talk to and offered a wealth of information. Overall it was an enjoyable day.
