Magellan 2014 Logs

These are the logs for the Alpha Centauri 2014 mission. They cover the perspectives of the astros, mc, and the simmies. The MC logs are starting late and are extremely incomplete due to various reasons. The timestamps are different because the logs were taken on different computers, and it will take too much time to make them all follow the same format.
