Mikaela's

- Two and one half times larger in the sky than seen on Earth, the sun appears to rise and set twice during a Mercurian day. It rises, then arcs across the sky, stops, moves back toward the rising horizon, stops again, and finally restarts its journey toward the setting horizon. ======

=
Ellie- Disagreements between crew members occured occasionaly, but there were no big fights between Ellie and the crew. As time proceeded, Ellie did well with keeping a clear mind and a functional schedual. ======

=
Janell: Crew tended to lean on Janell for support when needed. Crew started calling her "Captain J". Showed great leadership, and kept everyone focused on their jobs. Some disagreements occured, but only a few were relationship threatening. ======

=
Rhiannon: In the first year of travel Rhiannon kept an exceptional attitude, but conflicts started forming around a year and a half of travel. Began obssesively cleaning. Had to be put on medication for mental compulsion relief. After Rhiannon was put on the medication her behavior was controled. ======

=
Mikaela: Had major issues. Around a year into the voyage, the subject began to threaten imaginary characters and was off task and off schedual. Instead of doing her job as a journalist, she would draw disturbing images and writing things about purple waterfalls. Was quickly put on medication similar to Rhiannons. After her meds were started, she was very compatible and helpful. ======

//Report:// All in all, our journey was primarily successful. Our goal, which was to study Mercury's resources, was accomplished, however, nothing new was discovered. Mercury generally has no recources that would be useful to earth, because they are made out of similar material. Mercury's core is made out of iron, and so is earth's, so that wouldn't be helpful. Silicates wouldn't be helful either because about 90% of earth's crust is made out of silicates, so we have plenty of that. An example of silicates are Mica, Quartz, Amazonite, Olivine, Labradorite, and Biotite. All of these things are minerals. Otherwise, Mercury is made out of rock, much like we have on earth. No other useful substances were found. Exploration of the planet was difficult sometimes because of the climate incompatability. ======
