And, obviously as a, as one who likes to travel around myself a lot, I think the Earth is a beautiful place. And, I'm looking forward to some new perspectives.
There's been a tremendous amount of work that's been done that you can't see in Columbia.
Rendezvous day is the third day of our mission, and that's a big day for us.
So, we have to get up and get pumped up for each day.
Now you're coming back to Earth, and things are getting more and more dynamic.
Now, I've never flown in space; but the folks who have say that on landing day, you know, you've just spent maybe a week and a half, sometimes two weeks in orbit and you're used to the things happening slowly in space.
I see it as one of my jobs to make sure that, it sounds ridiculous, but to make sure the folks are eating, make sure folks are getting enough fluids, make sure folks are, you know, comfortable in the orbiter.
Because when we're in space, my job is primarily getting us there and getting us back.
And, I wouldn't consider myself to be a natural pilot; I've had to work at it.
You know, piloting really isn't my hobby. And, it's probably not something I'd do in my spare time if I could do whatever I wanted to do. But, I'll tell you: if you've got to make a living, it's a great way to make a living!
