00:00A crew is people or, you know, a group that is in it all the time, no matter what, that
00:10is stroking together every minute with the same purpose, that is willing to sacrifice
00:16silently for each other, that gives grace, that holds accountable.
00:24A crew has the same cares and the same needs.
00:30And a crew is inescapably, beautifully, dutifully linked.

00:49And honestly, what struck me wasn't necessarily just Earth.
00:55It was all the blackness around it.
