Missed the Capoeira workout – requesting video of another Capoeira session 🙂
Thanks – The “pi” shirt works so well in the first video. 🙂
I love the scenery in the second one. Practically speaking, is there a distance where you’d take the ATVs versus, say, hoofing it?
Jim:
It mostly depends on the distance, weather conditions, and the purpose of the EVA. If a large amount of samples need to be collected, even from nearby, then taking the ATVs makes sense due to the added weight that would slow down the return journey. Likewise, a longer distance EVA, such as EVA #8, that is performed is poor weather conditions, it can be unsafe to drive the ATVs even if the destination is further away.
In a similar sense to distance, the ATVs are also limited by a series of roads and trails that they must stay on. So, based on the road layout and a planned destination, taking the ATVs may end up covering twice the distance in almost the same amount of time as walking.
It’s usually a judgement call immediately prior to the EVA, but usually a destination further than a kilometer or two will warrant taking our rovers out for a ride.
Awesome Jazzercise on Mars! You all looked great! And I recognized that last stretch routine – one of my favorites.

Sam, so good to hear from you! Yep, I had to bring the Jazzercise along. Thanks for getting me interested in it originally! 🙂
