Yesterday was a very busy day. I spent the day at Mission Control. I got to listen to the stuff going on at the control desk. For the sake of safety, every happening is communicated and coordinated. It was really cool to be able to here the workings of the mission in every stage. The purpose of the research we are conducting is to be better able to understand our undersea world and what we have done to it. Every aspect, especially temperature, is important. Although I am too young to be able to go out in the field, at least I am able to spend my days in the headquarters of the research station we are using.
As you saw, I posted my Day 7 reflection yesterday (although yesterday was Day 8). I also worked a lot with Aileen. A huge part of Mission 31 is getting this information out there, and getting recognition for what is happening to the underwater aspect of our earth. Aileen is trying to spread the general knowledge about our environment through creating a camp. Her camp will be under the general umbrella of EcoAcademy, but also separate. So I helped her with that by figuring out budget, designing T-Shirts, and making Daily Log Journals. I wish that I could also start a Mission 31 Camp for Kids, where we could recreate the kind of research in Mission 31, only so that minors could do it too. Maybe they are already planning something like that! I'll talk to my dad about it!
When we are young, we have more creativity, and less restrictions on the possible. That is a very valuable aspect to science. It is so important to get our generation into this, and what we are doing, because there is so much we can learn. Plus all the science is really fun and really cool.
