I'm glad you asked that question.

You've got to be all in, committed, and that commitment breeds preparation because the preparation has to be there because in many of our life endeavors—

We have a great responsibility.

And when you're sitting in the commander's seat on the sixth first launch of a human-rated spacecraft in the history of NASA, this was only the sixth, you know, Mercury, Gemini, Apollo, Space Shuttle, Dragon, and then us.

There's a great deal of responsibility.

And the preparation was immense.

I mean, I would go into the simulator with our rendezvous officer on Saturday mornings at 6 o'clock, just the two of us, the only ones in the whole place, all of NASA.

going in there and getting ready and running scenarios and doing different.

We didn't imagine a scenario like this, but the preparation had to be, had to be there because the responsibility is so great.

And those type of life endeavors require that.

And that's, again, that's, that's the message of the book.

It's in the book.

Yeah, well, that's a great question.

These individuals are professionals.

I mean, I know them all well.

I did a spacewalk with Reed Wiseman back in 2014.

So we were outside the space station together doing a spacewalk.

So I know them well.

Victor Glover, it's hard to put into words.

I mean, you know, you're the only people in the whole universe doing that at the moment.
