00:00You know, when I left the space station, Node 1 was pretty spartan and immaculate.

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

00:08And with 275 launches to ISS, have you guys hit anything for future crews

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

00:16Well, we might have found something that someone had been looking for for quite a while.

00:37Our good friend, Frank Rubio, who headed home, has been blamed for quite a while for eating the tomato.

00:45But we can exonerate him.

00:49We found the tomatoes.

00:52Awesome, awesome.

00:53I think we'll have probably one more question, and then we'll probably hand it back over to Capcom

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

01:00But, you know, when you return to Earth, what's the one thing that, and maybe there's more than one thing,

01:08that you're going to want to explain to people here on Earth your favorite memory of the International Space Station?

01:15I think it's a beautiful view of the Earth from the International Space Station,

01:33so that we recognize that we need to nurture the mother planet Earth.

01:43Awesome. Thank you.

01:46Hey, just I'll say a couple words, and I'll hand it over to Bob.
