Another rest day…
Another rest day… the rocket team is working today, but I don't have any tests or practices. I think all of my friends are glad about this, because we're going to have to get up before dawn tomorrow to start our launch rehearsal! I don't think they're all morning people, especially when they're still dealing with jet lag and long hours of pre-launch work. So I figure it's worth it if I get to sleep in today, right?
The town of Uchinoura brought us a gift today. It's a tradition – they brought a gift of many origami paper cranes to Inoue-sensei, who is the project manager for the whole mission. You can see the townspeople with the gift below. I also got another group photo to share. Here I am with several members of the team, from Japan and the US. It's really fun to be here with such a big team.
