Another interesting discussion this week was on medical emergencies. Our thinking on these has to change a bit. If a crew member has a medical issue in the habitat, waiting to treat it til we get them back to Earth may not be the right answer.

But what capabilities are reasonable to have in our early incarnation? What are the most likely events? If a crew member breaks a leg out on the surface, do we want to take the suit off because we’re going to have to put it on to get them home.

This morning I led a discussion on lunar surface preparation for placement of the habitat complex. It’s one of the bigger unknowns we have that’ll impact the design of several systems. The less we know, the more conservative & more robust (i.e. more massive) our designs will need to be.

This was all in the heels of a week long design concept discussion for a node module during which we come up with concepts for different mass targets, trying to see what capabilities would be ideal and what you have to sacrifice to come in at lower masses.

The ultimate site prep would be to put down some kind of foundation, which would make the design of leg systems, mating systems, and leveling the simplest and least massive. Could we 3D print one? Could we sinter the surface? MSFC been studying that for decades.

Can we grade the surface at all? We need a slope of less than 3 degrees for human habitation and being able to level the surface to an extent would open up the site selection trade space a little.

Some questions are straightforward- can we do a site survey? We’d like to find a spot free of big boulders where local variations from craters or other features can be compensated for?

Working on DJ-R3X, who will be the centerpiece of the big addition to this year’s yard decorations if I can get him finished in time.

Will be nice to like something in orange and black that doesn’t suck.

Not where I expected to pop up today. Had the pleasure of going to LIX with Nicole with a mutual friend. 6 months later, my wife started her own cancer journey. Congrats to Nicole on her survivor story. Get checked folks; it’ll save your life. www.philadelphiaeagles.com/news/eagles-...

I’ve now been to London games for both the Phillies & Eagles. Gotta say, MLB did it better. MLB celebrated both teams, had Philly & NY food trucks around the stadium & had more of a festival feel outside the stadium. The NFL just tried to make it a Jags home game & the Fan Experience was kinda sad

Also, my oldest learned the joy of booing.

My favorite memory from the Phils game was the trash can full of confiscated plastic beer bats that had at airport security from all the fans that tried to take them home in their carry on.

Gonna be a home game

I bet you can spot at least a dozen Jags fans maybe even 15.
