...and we're ready for the dance...Today's EVA to repair the torn solar array was completed successfully (perhaps even better than ever imagined). While the views were spectacular, today was dreadfully boring for our system. I think part of that was due to lack of sleep. Although, i didn't feel like i didn't get enough sleep. At any rate, today was the most tired that i have been the entire mission. Perhaps the body (and mind) have had enough?
How did the crew fix the solar array? Well, there were some Apollo 13 engineering of sorts...construct something to fix the issue with the available materials. Michelle's team was responsible for the developement of what has been coined, cuff links.
Well, it all worked...Once again, the engineers and flight controllers have proven that we are an elite institution. That when faced with the dreary, we rise to the challenge, we conquer the challenge, and we move on. We then prepare for the next challenge...
Well, by the time my boring shift was over, i had a huge headache. I think my boredom was a side-affect of me not feeling well...So, i came home, took a short nap and my headache went away...I get to sleep 2 hours later tonight, so i hope to be well rested for my last shift of the mission...
