Day 2: Sunday

Team Tranquility completed the Area 51 Low Ropes challenges with great success first thing this morning. We proved to ourselves and the trainers that we communicate exceptionally well as a group.

After lunch it was time to prepare for the Shuttle Mission! I had woken up at 3am, thinking about all those buttons and switches... For two hours we proceeded through the sequences, sometimes behind time yet able to catch up and dealing with anomalies that occurred. I did manage to land Atlantis as commander, but rather than use a runway, the grass worked just fine! Our parachute didn't open either, but we still stopped all safe and sound. It was such an incredible experience!

We built our rockets during the afternoon and will launch them in a couple of days.
