We report: the sun is obscured by the clouds, but there is a bright castaway to the side - almost brighter than the sun itself. The weather has been frazzled all day, so we came out in full rain gear, but the scales will not dip one way or another. We end up needing sunglasses.

We report at dawn, in a place where it does not snow very often. Our expert attempted to wake us up when the snow was falling in the middle of the night, but we did not even remember it upon waking up. We slept well, so we cannot bring to ourselves to regretting it too badly.

Orbital Transfer Vehicle: An 80s NASA concept for a space tug. It would use its engines to fly up to a higher orbit, then an aerobrake to slow down on the way back. After aerobraking it would rendezvous with a space station for refueling and to get ready for another run.

We report: we heard somewhere that the moon is pulling away from Earth at the rate of 3.8 centimetres a year. All around, we know this will not amount to a noticeable difference over the span of our life. We still think we ought to find a way to bring it back closer to us.

Ocelus Transfer Laboratory: my design for a spaceship based on the symbol for Mars. This would be used to fly a route to Mars and back, while testing long-term habitation technologies on the way, including large mirrors that you'd need for an O'Neill cylinder.

We report under especially cloudy clouds. When the clouds are like this, we have a hard time thinking back to a time when the sky was blue (though it was only yesterday). Curiously, there is not even a hint of precipitation; it is cloudy simply for the sake of it.

We report: this morning, the clouds weigh nothing, and the sun is high. It is so bright outside that it is a while before we can fully open our eyes, but it is hard to feel irritated when the light feels so invigorating. There is excited chatter between two blackbirds in a tree.
