My name is Commander Mary Eannarino
Call sign Mike Eco
I am an astronaut and carpenter
My material is 3/4 in. AC4 plywood
Plywood is the queen of all building materials
The bulk space program is
made of 3/4 in. 7 ply AC 4 plywood
Plywood is the sandwich, a delicious wood sandwich
Plywood is more flexible, generally stronger
than lumber of the same species and dimensions
Plywood takes advantage of wood's grain properties
by alternating the wood grain with each ply
Plywood strength and flexibility
it's in her cross grain constitution
Our love for plywood reflects
that we've spent years learning how to best make her look
feel and function
My name is Sargent Pat McCarthy
Call sign Papa Mike
I am the Shot Foreman
My tool is the broom
In our space program
no one is above manual labor
We all are expected to clean
and, no, sometimes even a boss
must shovel shit in Lousiana
Lieutenent Nick Doyle
Call sign November Delta
Drills and saws
I'm a fifth degree master bricoleur
It's by having hands that man
is the most intelligent of animals
Our space program is handmade
Guided by the philosophy of bricolage
Each member of our space program crew
is a bricoleur
Bricolage means creation or repair
with available limited resources
We go to Mars not to exploit the resources on a new planet
but to better understand our resources here on earth
Our Mars' mission serve to organize and measure
the best of our energies and skills
An inner circle of hundreds must be rallied
to execute our ambitious mission
Our special force's team
inspires their support with literature
counterfeit currency
film
and imagination
My name is Tom Sachs
My crew and I have built our own space program
from scratch
Our mission is to land the first woman on the surface of Mars
find life and recoup our investment
