00:00I've actually been thinking about entry since April 3rd, 2023, when we got assigned to this
00:05mission. And one of the first press conferences we were asked, what are we looking forward to?
00:08And I said, splashdown. And it's kind of humorous, but it's literal as well, that
00:14we have to get back. Part of our ethos as a crew and our values from the very beginning were
00:19that this is a relay race. In fact, we have batons that we bought to symbolize physically
00:25that. We plan to hand them to the next crew. And every single thing that we do is with them
00:30in
00:30mind. It hasn't changed my perspective or the perspective that I launched with. The perspective
00:35I launched with was that we live on a fragile planet in the vacuum, in the void of space. We
00:43know this from science. We're very fortunate to live on planet Earth. And we all pretty much broke
00:49down right there. And just for me personally, that was kind of the pinnacle moment of the
00:55mission for me. That was, I think, where the four of us were the most forged, the most bonded.
