00:00First and foremost, we all wanted to give a shout out to our families first because we are pretty far
00:04from earth and we have not gotten to say hi to them yet.
00:07We all expected a really just dynamic ride, a lot of motion. We were prepared to potentially not being able
00:13to see telemetry, maybe even not being able to touch switches and it was very smooth.
00:21It was a definite difference when they separated and we were just on the main engines but just a steady
00:27rumble and a great ride.
00:30There has been a tremendous amount of disbelief for me. It's just so extraordinary. I just kept saying to them
00:37yesterday, I really like it up here.
00:40We just got done our translunar injection burn and it was pretty tense moments there. It was pretty tense moments
00:46there for a second and when we got done that burn, we just kind of looked at each other as
00:51a crew.
00:51We have been to the moon before 1969, 1968 through 1972. It's been a long time since we've been back
00:57and I got to tell you, there is nothing normal about this.
01:00Sending four humans 250,000 miles away is a Herculean effort and we are now just realizing the gravity of
01:07that.
01:07Well, the first thing I would say is trust us. You look amazing. You look beautiful. And from up here,
01:13you also look like one thing.
01:15You know, Homo sapiens is all of us, no matter where you're from or what you look like. We're all
01:21one people.
01:22And so, you know, this mission, one of the things that's amazing about being around and just being an astronaut,
01:29you know, serving our countries at this time is that we get to give ourselves a mission that we can
01:34hold on to to say, hey, look at what we did for the rest of our lives.
01:39You know, we call amazing things that humans do moonshots for a reason, because this brought us together and showed
01:45us what we can do when we put not just putting our differences aside, when we bring our differences together
01:50and use all the strengths to accomplish something great.
