And I am not coordinated.

I'm the least coordinated person you can imagine.

And my husband watched me struggle for about a year and a half straight to try to learn to swim.

I would...

actually try to learn just to kick my feet and go straight in the pool and i would go backwards and people would say what were you doing was that some kind of a drill and i would say no i just that bad at swimming and my husband told me honey you were made to be an astronaut you were not made to swim

And I feel like one person believes in me that I'm made to be an astronaut.

Teamwork, trust in your team.

We had an amazing relationship with the folks that designed the one piece of equipment that does all of the work or most of the work on reentry, which is the heat shield.

And we had an incredible relationship with them.

And we really came together as a team.

And I was thinking about them and I was thinking about this team.

And I was thinking about the team I was coming home to.

If someone counted, that's probably right.

I don't, I'm not sure.

Wow.

You know, I think that the thing that struck me and my takeaway on perspective that was different was how far away we were from our home planet.

When you're at the space station, you're about 250 miles up.

So we were about a thousand times farther.

And you can see a horizon.

You can make out landforms.
