Day 1
-
I’m wrapping up the first day of my journey. Things are going well so far. It’s so exciting to be a pioneer! I wonder what’s for dinner...
-
Day 12
-
I’m really appreciating the solitude that I have here. I have the beeps and the hum of the ship, and my few teammates, but otherwise all is silent. Sleep, exercise, eat, work, eat, sleep, repeat. It’s nice to have a routine. Space seems to somehow amplify my emotions, positive or negative, whatever they may be. The lab work is going smoothly and I think Innovation, Inc. will be pleased with our progress toward this new innovation. It’ll make extended space travel better for the astronauts.

Day 15
-
No one ever told me that there would be no chips to eat onboard. They are perfect for eating with anything. What about dried fruit and cereal? I think I’m hungry but worry about rationing what I have left. I noted that the labelling on two types of food packets was switched: “Corn Chowder” was actually “Stir Fry Rice” and vice versa. I reported this to Innovation, Inc. Today I wanted corn chowder, so I gambled and opened the stir fry rice. It was cheesecake.
-
Day 20
-
I was awakened in the middle of the night by Innovation, Inc. telling me to close the shutter on the lab window. It is beyond me why it couldn’t wait until wake-up time. And why me and not one of the others whose quarters are closer to the lab window?
-
Day 25
-
Can’t sleep. I keep expecting to wake up, but I can’t sleep. What is the crew doing while I’m not sleeping?
-
Day ?
-
I am so far from everyone I know. Where am I in the universe? Am I here? The view here in space is so beautiful. It’s the same view over and over day after day. It’s bootiful.
-
Day ???
-
I was trained how to walk in space, how to fly this ship, and how to survive. I was not taught how to live in space.
