00:00Well, right now, we're just coming off of the rehab portion of our return, getting back into some of the debriefs.
00:08We actually finished our debriefs tomorrow, and then we'll eventually get back into those type of roles and specifically what we'll be involved with.
00:16Certainly, we will have some insight and some interaction with the Boeing folks and NASA that works those programs, but who knows what we'll be working on as time goes on.
00:25Like we're getting our next crew member here. That is none other than Sonny Williams. Big smile, big waves. She, like her other crew.
00:36There we have it. Some waves, some thumbs up, and some smiles. We're getting some views of him now as he egresses or exits the spacecraft.
00:55I think initially, we'll start from the very beginning. Pulling Gs for 30-plus years, I don't have a great – I've got some issues in my neck.
01:06I can't turn my head all the way. But in space, that goes away. You don't have any stress on your body, no problem with my neck.
01:12We're still floating in the capsule in the ocean, and my neck starts hurting while we're still – it hasn't even been extracted yet.
01:21So anyway, gravity stinks for a period, and that period varies for different people.
01:26But eventually, you get over that neurovestibular balance type of issues, and then your back is not used to holding up your structure, so the muscles tense up.
01:35So that was really the first month to 45 days of that, and then we graduated and, you know, back to normal.
01:42And I felt, though, honestly, I was still tired. Like, all the little muscles are getting reengaged, and so it kept me being – like, not being able to wake up like I normally like to wake up early in the morning
01:52until about a week and a half ago. Then I'm, like, up at 4 in the morning. I'm like, aha, I'm back.
01:58So, you know, I think all of that just takes a little while to get back to gravity, just like Butch said.
02:03It's just a little bit of a readaptation, and then, you know, we're here, and we're feeling fine.
02:10It's been a little bit of a whirlwind because we also have obligations to all of our – the folks that we worked with, you know,
02:15the International Space Station program, you know, the Boeing-NASA team for Starliner, the science program.
02:21So we've been doing debriefs also for the last month or so, so it's been pretty busy.
02:25So just to kind of finish off what I was saying is once that side hatch of the spacecraft is open,
02:32that crew will be assisted out of the capsule one by one.
02:35I think that would probably be a smart thing to do just to make sure everybody feels good about the spacecraft
02:41and they've taken care of the issues that we saw when we were up on board.
02:45So it seems like the logical thing to do. I think we're pressing in that direction.
02:50And like I said, you know, I think that's the correct path.
02:54You know, just like SpaceX had cargo vehicles, you know, the Russians also have cargo vehicles,
02:59and they test out new concepts on those cargo vehicles before they implement them into ones that have humans on board.
03:05And it seems like a logical path, so hoping Boeing and NASA will decide on that same course of action.
03:11There's obviously, if you get into a situation like we were in, there's obviously some things that were missed, right?
03:20That's obvious. Even to the casual observer.
03:23Why were they missed? We've got to figure that out.
03:27And we need to correct that, those reasons why they were missed.
03:31And the things that were missed, we have to correct those as well.
03:35And that's the process that we're undergoing right now.
03:38And those details are varied and more, like I said, more time than we have right now to discuss.
03:45But that's the pathway that we're on.
03:46And that's the pathway that we're on.
04:16And that's the pathway that we're on.
