00:00 You know, when I left the space station,

00:02 Node 1 was pretty spartan and immaculate.

00:05 It's kind of accumulated a lot of stuff over the years.

00:08 And with 275 launches to ISS,

00:11 have you guys hit anything for future crews

00:14 or lost something up there that you're still looking for?

00:17 [ Laughter ]

00:19 [ Laughter ]

00:29 Well, we might have found something

00:32 that someone had been looking for for quite a while.

00:37 Our good friend Frank Rubio, who headed home,

00:41 has been blamed for quite a while for eating the tomato,

00:45 but we can exonerate him.

00:49 We found the tomatoes.

00:52 Awesome, awesome.

00:53 I think we'll have probably one more question,

00:56 and then we'll probably hand it back over to Capcom

00:58 and let you guys get back to work.

00:59 But, you know, when you return to Earth,

01:04 what's the one thing that --

01:06 and maybe there's more than one thing --

01:07 that you're going to want to explain to people here on Earth,

01:11 your favorite memory of the International Space Station?

01:28 I think it's a beautiful view of the Earth

01:31 from the International Space Station,

01:34 so that we recognize that we need

01:38 to nurture the Mother Planet Earth.

01:43 Awesome. Thank you.

01:46 Hey, just I'll say a couple words,

01:48 and I'll hand it over to Bob, and then we'll get back to you.
