00:00I've actually been thinking about entry since April 3, 2023, when we got assigned to this mission.
00:05And one of the first press conferences we were asked, what are we looking forward to?
00:09And I said, splashdown.
00:09And it's kind of humorous, but it's literal as well that we have to get back.
00:15Part of our ethos as a crew and our values from the very beginning were that this is a relay
00:21race.
00:21In fact, we have batons that we bought to symbolize physically that.
00:25We plan to hand them to the next crew.
00:27And every single thing that we do is with them in mind.
00:31It hasn't changed my perspective or the perspective that I launched with.
00:35The perspective I launched with was that we live on a fragile planet in the vacuum, in the void of
00:42space.
00:42We know this from science.
00:44We're very fortunate to live on planet Earth.
00:48And we all pretty much broke down right there.
00:50And just for me personally, that was kind of the pinnacle moment of the mission for me.
00:55That was, I think, where the four of us were the most forged, the most bonded.
