Chapter 2
Day 2. Someone talked. I've been bombarded with comments good and bad about my calculations that took us through the rings of Saturn. I informed the Captain and requested that he have Naomi explain gravitational breaking in terms that everyone could understand. After staring a hole through me he laughed and said that he'd read the explanation that Naomi and I would write up.
Day 5. Naomi, Alice, and I presented the Captain with three drafts of the gravitational breaking. After reading all three, he said the second was the one that he'd read in the next crew meeting, and anyone that wanted a more technical explanation could read the third.
Day 22. Today we reached apoapsis in our first elliptical orbit of Saturn. Periapsis is projected to be on day 43.
Day 63. All but one of the solar panels repaired and online.
