Meanwhile, the #SERASpace contest has entered week 11. Contestants are tired but we continue, because the pull of SPACE will keep us all going.

What about you? Have you ever had to take the long route to get to a goal?

I haven’t done that with flights, but I have booked a train seat while climbing on-board more than once. 😄

Ooo did I hear the shutdown might actually come to an end soon? It’s been so quiet here. 🙃

They have had tons of these in stock at Aldi lately. We’ve eaten several! LOL

Hey all, crew Nivalis is “back on Earth” (but still mostly avoiding social media, LOL)! I will have some photos and stories soon but in the meantime, have a news story, because the media was right there when we exited the habitat! 😁

Discussion post for the #SERASpace community: what is your reason for wanting to go to space?

For me, it's chasing a dream of seeing the world from a new perspective that can't be experienced any other way. How much could change if we see things from a new angle!

If you were able to visit any favorite space object, where would you go? I have fun dreaming a bit sometimes. #SERASpace

If you could choose anything to bring to space as a zero-G indicator, what would you choose? #SERASpace

We are still waiting to hear what country will be chosen for the final seat on the Blue Origin flight with #SERASpace. Who do you think it will be?

We have completed preflight training and will be starting our 2-week analog mission at 8:30 UTC. You can catch WBA opening ceremonies here: www.youtube.com/live/AQsHW5Q...

Until then! ✌️

Sneaking in one last post before the mission officially begins and we no longer have regular internet (any further posts are pre-scheduled).

LunAres crew is GO for launch!

Watching the next launch while dreaming about what it might be like to be ON one. Right, #SERASpace community? Who’s with me?

US Government shutdown means time for memes. I don’t make the rules!

We will also be conducting up to ten experiments simultaneously, which has never been done before! Then with the ACE program, we will share this experience with multiple classrooms so that the students can follow along. It’s going to be a lot of moving parts, but I’m excited to see what’s to come!

when I get back home.

We’ve been training and preparing for a year and our mission begins in two weeks. 16 habitats (4 primary, as shown on the patch, and 12 secondary habs) all around the world simulating life on the Moon, Mars, and the ISS. (2/3)

Our official WBA crew mission patch is here!! And I am extra excited that it was my design team, along with the help of KSCartist - Tim Gagnon, who won the contest to make the final design. Donors - we will recieve them during or after the mission, so I will get yours mailed out to you… (1/3)

Come hear us talk about our #SERASpace journeys tonight LIVE on Instagram!

Stream begins at 6pm EST and I will be on around 7:55pm. Come join us!

Ahh this is exciting! A crew-to-crew call in space! www.instagram.com/reel/DO_8xzZ...

Meanwhile, on a smaller scale, we are also going to do the same between crews in the WBA and have a call between habitats during our mission. Looking forward to it!

#WBA #SERASpace #NASA #Collaboration

Always keep learning! Every day there is something new to try. Today I did my first 3D print! Now I can learn to print stuff to send to space. 😁

What is something new you can learn today?

#SERASpace #3DPrinting #NASA

Congrats to the new class of NASA astronaut candidates!

For the rest of us, our journey continues. Maybe we will fly with #SERASpace, NASA, or another opportunity, but one thing is certain. Never give up trying to reach the stars!

As we are getting closer to the WBA mission starting, we are working on setting up the experiments we will take into the habs.

So my question of the day is: if you could do any experiment in space, what would it be?

#WBA #ACE #SERASpace

Shoutout to the #SERASpace community! In joining this contest I have gotten to meet a lot more space enthusiasts and hear their stories. So many inspiring people! ☺️

If you could go to space, what would be the biggest lesson you think you could bring back to share with others?

Thank you for helping me represent educators and students in this incredible mission! See you soon from Lunares Research Station!

Pay Nicole Bolado using PayPal.Me Go to paypal.me/NJonas and type in the amount. Since it’s PayPal, it's easy and secure. Don’t have a PayPal account? No worries.

This will be a great opportunity to share what we are doing in the analog and let them be hands-on with experiments even when across the world.

If you’d like to support, you can sponsor directly through:
Venmo: @ Nicole-Bolado
PayPal: paypal.me/njonas

Every contribution makes a difference, and sponsors will be recognized with special mission perks as time allows (see attached breakdown).

I met with a couple of my ACE teachers last week and was amazed at all they were doing already to get their kids excited for STEM.
