  • Leisure Time:

    Eight hours of work, eight hours of sleeping time, eight hours of leisure time (typical day in mars), exercise/physical activity, studying, maintenance, research, other many things to pass time, social networks would be one of the greatest ways to avoid boredom even though there’s going to take a long time to receive all kind of message or signal,
