It's not just working out so you can get stronger and faster.

It's actually working out so you understand your response, your physiological response.

How can you control your breathing when you get super tired?

How can you know how to control your heat load and things like that?

Because it can get hot in Orion.

It could get cold in Orion.

All these different environments we might encounter based on our mission, which we're still learning about, right?

If you can control your body in terrestrial like conditions and understand and test bed a little bit, I think it's a great way to know like no matter what happens, I know kind of where my limits and I can make decisions based on those.

So I think it's important to definitely train the brain and the body as much as possible.

But those are some methods that I would employ.

Yeah, I think those are really good words, Frank.

I mean, it's crazy, too.

When we train, a lot of the public does not see all of the Plan Bs and Cs and Ds and Es.

And so in addition to the confidence in the reps that we get, we get reps in all of those scenarios.

And it's pretty awesome to have that breadth of experience.

And one of the things I think that also helps that we can do as well as, you know, all of our trainers train us, like Frank said, they can also give us these guiding principles that can try to fit all of the impossible scenarios that gives you that 80 percent solution, because we can't get every scenario when we're doing our sims.

Right.

But, you know, if you know that a box on a system has data power, right.

cooling, right?

And you may not know the specifics, but you know that you have basic functions and we have to reset it in Orion.
