Here it is. This is the last night. We are now waiting for the next crew and tomorrow, everybody will be back home for the holidays. Today we had a very nice afternoon, hiking in the Little Wild Horse canyon and enjoying the landscape. Talking for all crewmembers of the 62th MDRS mission, I can say we had a great time here, we have worked hard, we have learned a lot and have met really nice people. We also hope we have done good and useful job for the Mars Society.

Better than speaking by myself, I would rather prefer let the other crewmembers speak for themselves.

Jon: "As always, I truly enjoyed my time here at MDRS. I believe it was valuable on many levels including furthering the pursuit of being prepared to send humans to Mars, as well as a great learning experience to tackle future challenges. Finally, I am very proud of this crew for the effort they put forth into making this the great mission it was!"

Catherine: "This was an experience of a lifetime... and my very first field experience. Yes, there were plenty of technical challenges but they only made me braver and wiser. I thought, I was going to Mars but I went to Heaven... Thank you to my crew members for supporting me throughout this mission and to Shannon Rupert for always believing in me and bringing this wonderful opportunity to my attention."

Ben: "On this rotation I got out on EVAs a lot more and saw some wonderful scenery. A lack of spare parts hindered repairs on several projects but we did the best we could with what we had. No rotation would be complete without frozen plumbing and this mission didn't disappoint . The dark UT skies led to some great stargazing with Mars and Comet Holmes high overhead. Best of all, I made four new friends."

Chris: "There's nothing like a crew rotation at MDRS to get you out of life's regular patterns and back towards the things you always hoped you'd do. The past two weeks have had their difficult and challenging times, but they were also fun. I enjoyed sharing them with such a fine group of like-minded space enthusiasts, and I believe this has been the first step I've been seeking towards a stronger personal role in achieving our common goals in space. On to Mars!"

Thomas: "I am glad to have had the opportunity to get to know this crew. I had such a great time here in spite of the hard work and I have definitely learned a lot. This is how my seven months adventure in USA comes to an end. From Washington D.C. to Mars, I enjoyed the entire trip! But for now, it is time to go home!"

Crew 63 has just arrived, we wish them the best of luck!
Happy Holidays everybody!
