00:00When we saw Tiny Earth, people asked our crew what impressions we had.
00:07And honestly, what struck me wasn't necessarily just Earth.
00:13It was all the blackness around it.
00:17Earth was just this lifeboat hanging, undisturbingly, in the universe.
00:34Uh-oh.
00:45So, I may have not learned, I know I haven't learned, everything that this journey has yet to teach me.
00:54But there's one new thing I know, and that is, planet Earth, you are a crew.
01:10You guys got to cut it out, man.
01:13Thank you so much, Jeremy.
01:31Victor, Christina and Jeremy.
01:35We are bonded forever.
01:37And no one down here is ever going to know what the four of us just went through.
01:43And it was the most special thing that will ever happen in my life.
01:46I have not processed what we just did.
01:49And I'm afraid to start even trying.
01:52When this started on April 3rd, I wanted to thank God in public.
01:59And I want to thank God again, because even bigger than my challenge trying to describe what we went through,
02:08the gratitude of seeing what we saw, doing what we did, and being with who I was with.
02:17It's too big to just be in one body.
02:21And I wanted to thank our families for everything that he just said.
02:26So great words, great words, great words, great words.
02:29I love you.
02:30I love you.
02:30But not just those five beautiful cocoa-skinned ladies right there.
02:35All of you.
02:39And I wanted to thank our leadership.
02:42And it's changed since we were here in April of 2023.
02:47But the qualities haven't.
02:49And we are fortunate to be in this agency at this time together.
02:57And so I'm going to sit down.
02:59Thank you also to our air operations for this facility and for our ride home from San Diego.
03:06And I love you.
03:31Well, it's been a lot.
03:33This isn't helping.
03:36But this is the furthest I've been away from Reed in a long time.
03:45All right.
03:46That's good.
03:56You
