That's what we do in human spaceflight. That's what your nation's human spaceflight program is all about, planning for unknown, unexpected contingencies.

Responsibility with Boeing? Yes. Responsibility with NASA? Yes. All the way up and down the chain. We all are responsible. We all own this. You cannot do this business without trust. So we're not going to look back and say this happened or that happened and that person or that issue or that entity is to blame.

We're going to look forward and say what are we going to use our lessons learned from this whole process and make sure that we are successful in the future.

We came up prepared to stay long, even though we planned to stay short. That's what we do in human spaceflight. That's what your nation's human spaceflight program is all about, planning for unknown, unexpected contingencies.

My feeling on all of this goes back to my faith. It's bound in my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. He is working out His plan and His purposes for His glory throughout all of humanity. And how that plays into our lives is significant and important. And however that plays out, I am content because I understand that.

We'll get a go around the planet here every 90 minutes, so we'll get 16 New Year celebrations here on the International Space Station.

I can only say that Mr. Musk, what he says is absolutely factual.
