Day 92 - Supply Disaster!!!

Hello there explorers! It’s me Chuck here with another mission log. Wow has this week been packed! We started our posters to present to our bosses back at HQ of all our work up here. We started by collecting all of our data and pictures of our glove prototypes. We set up our template and we also began creating a poster of just us having fun and how we work together as a space crew. We based our poster around a “Space Candyland” theme. We thought this was a great way to showcase our journey over these past two years. Not only did we try and work on our posters but we also worked on delivering a payload to our buddies down on Mars. Marshall, and I were tasked with the job of planning and executing a plan that will succefully deliver the payload. We first began by creating a new delivering system that we could hold and transport the payload safely on the track. This was a harder job than we thought. The payload was not succefully locking in to place in almost all of our simulations. This was a huge risk because we only had one payload and if we failed it would take HQ at least 2 months to send another payload into space! We were stressing day and night (technically it was almost always day lol) trying to find the best way to complete the mission. It was test day. This was it. All or nothing. The cart was loaded on our ship and our attachment about ready to launch. Here goes nothing! 3...2...1!!! And the ship was off full speed towards the payloads track where we would release the cart on. We were here right next to the track. All the ship had to do was move forward and safely deliver the payload. Oh...oh no!!! The payload didn’t lock in right! We are doomed! Our ship automatically pushed the track up to deliver he payload but this was no good the payload rolled off and was lost. We had failed! We were heartbroken. But this didn’t stop us from realizing our mistakes. This just put a chip on our shoulders for next time we attempt a mission. Well so long fellow astronauts! This had been Chuck. Until next time Chuck out.
