AMICITAS Mission Three – Mission Day 384

ARES 3 solar day 378

[08:03] JPL: I would like to wish everyone a happy Thanksgiving. Briefly report some current news that may be of interest to you.

Holiday shoppers will have to wait a week before they can get their hands on the Magic Cave Farm playset from Hasbro. As soon as this first-round official authorized Ares 3 and Malaysian Friendship Six refugee series toys were announced, it firmly topped the list of hot topics; the popularity of pre-orders has already reached the sky, with the original price of the luxury set being $. It soared all the way to over two hundred dollars. The delayed release of the set to the public is a relief to retailers worried about the potential for vicious violence during Black Friday sales.

An ancient pygmy rhinoceros skull fossil recently discovered on a Siberian island north of the Arctic Circle has been named Elasmotherium inlustris to pay tribute to the unicorn astronaut Starlight. Inlustris means "starlight" in Latin. There is still controversy over whether the skull fossil actually belongs to a certain dwarf species, or whether it is just a juvenile individual of the Siberian unicorn (Elasmotherium sibercium), which is widely recognized by academic circles. However, the scientist who proposed the name stated that "either it is after her Name it, or just pick a random beetle name."

Speaking of insects, a recent CNN poll showed that dragonflies were both the "bravest" and "evilest" aliens currently living with astronaut Mark Watney in the Ares 3 residential area. Berry was voted the "most popular" and "cutest" alien, while the title of "coolest" alien was tied for second after Fireball. Spitfire won the title of "sexiest" alien, but in order to do my job, I must point out that more than % of the respondents refused to answer this question.

As for the more serious content in the survey, 82% of the American people surveyed expressed support for the rescue work of Mark Watney and the alien visitors, while 74% expressed support for bringing all six back to Earth.

Finally, Tonga recently became the 180th country in the world to officially invite members of the Friendship crew to visit. So far, only four countries have publicly expressed their unwillingness to accept visits from alien crews; Afghanistan and Iran have declared that they do not welcome demon visits, while New Zealand requires ponies to comply with inspection and quarantine regulations for imported livestock when entering the country, and Nauru has stated There is really no space on their island to accommodate the alien team members and the large number of tourists that will be attracted to them.

That’s all for this Earth Thanksgiving News Flash. I hope you can spend Thanksgiving next year with us here on Earth.

[08:32] Watney: Hey, man, whoever's still in the office, thanks for the news, but what's the weather like lately? Are there any storms coming up that we might need to worry about?

[09:04] JPL: Mark, there’s no storm. There haven't even been any clouds on Mars in the last two days. And in fact, according to the satellite images of Mars taken after you completed the launch test, the transparency of the Martian atmosphere is now the highest it has been in the past five Earth years. Data returned from weather satellites orbiting Mars show that daytime temperatures are higher than normal and nighttime temperatures are slightly cooler than normal. We still don't know if this change is directly related to your testing, or how long this will continue to be the case. In short, I suggest you take advantage of the sunshine now.

[09:33] Watney: Got it. So this Thanksgiving we will hold a grand carnival of meteorological version of persecutory paranoia, reveling in the unfounded fear of waiting for the sky to fall.

At the same time we also try to ignore as much as possible the impromptu accompaniment coming from the toilet. As a celebration, the five of us opened a few of my food packages to change flavors and ate them together with our usual plain hay and potatoes, but Ding Ting was crazily stuffing stale hay and potatoes into his stomach, trying his best Speed ​​up the production of raw materials needed to make large rover saddlebags. Just a reminder when we get back; we owe her a big pot of green bean stew and pumpkin pie. She doesn't like the taste of turkey very much.

[09:55] HERMES: Hey, Mark, does that bug blow up the toilet look like you did after eating at Jimmy Changa?

[10:18] Watney: In light of the advice provided by the pink pony commander, I decline to answer on the grounds that such questions might provide embarrassing jokes for me.

[10:41] HERMES: Lewis here - telling Cherry Berry that she reacted pretty quickly, but it's years too late.
