We had to protect an egg from a blow torch. We used foil, spackle, sponge, and steel wool. Unfortunately, our egg was slightly cooked after our required 3 minutes of flame! Poor little egg!
After this we were able to rest a bit while watching an Omnimax movie on the worlds largest telescopes found in Chile's Atacama Desert. I must admit, I rested my eyes a bit!
We then created a Lunar Base that had to include an advertisement convincing people to come to the moon. My team created Lunaribbean: Where the Sun Never Sets! It was a resort that includes anti-gravity activities like Quidditch, an infinity skate park and Lunar Rover races.
Our next activity was really gross! We had to work on creating a urine filtration system. This is part of the ECLSS- Environmental Control Life Support System.
Our team had to use various materials to create a system that would turn urine (it was lemonade with glitter in it) into drinkable water. We used a bottle, funnel, cheese cloth, charcoal, gravel, ammo, and a coffee filter. We had to get the PH level up from 3 to 7.
Our last activity of the day was 2 simulators. The first was an anti-gravity chair. This is the same type of chair I used in the morning, but everyone else got a chance to do it too!
The second is of a simulator that is similar to the MASTIF used in training the Mercury astronauts. Because your center of gravity remains the same, you don't get nauseous.
It was a really busy day!
