Payload Specialist (PS) Charlie Beck [personal log – shuttle day 536]
[20:47 28/Mar/2048]
Today is the last day that I will be on this shuttle and I’m so excited for tomorrow! We finally got close range comms with The Solaris earlier today, after orbiting mercury for ages (well 4 days but still!) The Solaris will be coming into orbit with mercury so we can dock and swap crews.
As we are going to be docking with the station we needed to stop the artificial gravity on the shuttle. Some of the crew are pretty annoyed about it because sleeping is always hard to do in microgravity, but me, I love it because it was how the old astronauts slept before rotational habitation modules (RHM) where made. The way the legendary crews slept on the International Space Station during my childhood, like Commander Chris Hadfield and his mighty moustache, was the first Canadian to command the ISS. As well as Tim Peake, the first British astronaut to do a spacewalk. Today when I finished my preparations for docking and came into my quarters I saw that my Lego International Space Station that I got for my eighth birthday was floating around as the crew quarters are in the RHM.
The shuttle medical officer told us a few days ago when we are on the Solaris to try and make as many logs as we can, as the Solaris often loses communication with GOLDCOM due to solar radiation masking signals or completely misguiding them sending them past the sun into deep space. Anyway, she said that we should write in them frequently and with a Fairmount of detail so when we have some time to ourselves we can let what happened in the day come out as we cant talk with GOLDCOM or our families. She also said that I should let my autism out and have it run free and like explain every little thing I can about the stuff up here and what thighs mean.
I was thinking of when I get back to the goldilocks zone I can turn these logs into a book. Yeah sorry, I should explain then what GOLDCOM is. GOLDCOM is the central station that commands every spaceflight operation. It’s kinda like the death star, I think that’s what its called, I used to love those old films when I was a kid, yeah so if your a kid reading this ask someone old what Star Wars is and they will tell you all about it, hell if your lucky someone might still have a DVD player and play it for you. Anyway, GOLDCOM is a space station a bit smaller than the earth’s moon is the centre of the CESE universe as it controls all the sectors.
