00:00There was a moment about an hour ago where Mission Control Houston reoriented our spacecraft as the sun was setting
00:07behind the Earth.
00:08And I don't know what we all expected to see at that moment, but you could see the entire globe
00:12from pole to pole.
00:14You could see Africa, Europe, and if you looked really close, you could see the northern lights.
00:20It was the most spectacular moment, and it paused all four of us in our tracks.
00:25One of the biggest surprises was how smooth riding those solids was.
00:28We all expected a really just dynamic ride, a lot of motion.
00:33We were prepared to potentially not being able to see telemetry, maybe even not being able to touch switches, and
00:40it was very smooth.
00:42When those solid rocket boosters actually lit and we left the pad, it was just a moment of disbelief.
00:48And, yeah, the fact that we launched, it just totally takes you by surprise, even though you were expecting it,
00:55at least for me anyway.
00:57And I just had a huge smile across my face.
01:00It was that we all can remember and hold on to for the rest of our days, and I hope
01:04people will tune in and give us a chance.
01:11You
