So many can.

You have to deal with the situations as they arise.

You're right.

And this one was a challenging one, but by God's grace, we were able to deal with it, and ultimately it turned out for good.

And I think it turns out for good even for future spacecraft because the lessons that we learned

Now the classification has been a type A mishap, which is the same level of mishap as the Challenger accident and also the Columbia tragedy.

So that's the same level, and it should be, because we survived, yes, but we survived because of intense preparation by us and the crew and also intense preparation by the ground working together to avert catastrophes.

Same effort.

You know, Sunny has her own belief.

I would love to share the full gospel with her and challenge her on that, but maybe one day we'll have that opportunity.

Well, you know, Si, the Lord's got to work in your heart, right?

But I also wouldn't be invited on a spaceship.

I did not say that, but I know everybody was thinking it.

There was no need to say it.

Matter of fact, the communication was minimal.

They knew we had our hands full, and I knew they were working the problem to try to rectify it.

So I didn't say a lot to them about what was taking place, and they didn't say a lot to us either.

They just said, hey, do this.

And I'm like, that's really hard to do in the condition we're in, but I'll try.

No, you prepare yourself mentally.
