I think I forgot to mention one of the activities from the day we flew
the F-18 simulators. We also took a turn in the centrifuge and got to
experience 3.1 Gs. It spun us up to that acceleration for about a
minute.
Yesterday we went back to the F-18 Hornet simulators. I did better (I
didn’t crash) but I ended up at 90 degrees to the runway and (I
suspect) was turning to close to the airport and never got down.
Then we had our long - maybe 6 hour - mission. It was fun but there
were a bit too many anomalies.
After quite a long day we all hopped in to cabs and headed to a local
Mexican restaurant. I had the mole and it was pretty good.
Interestingly, the waiter verified that I really wanted mole. Turns
out that most people here don’t like it.
After dinner we came back to the hotel and drank in te bar.
This morning we launched the model rockets we had built earier in the
week, saw an IMAX movie on the moon landings narated by Tom Hanks, and
had our graduation ceremony.
I had a great time here.
