So in these cases, we know that a medical evacuation wouldn't be possible.

So it is really for us to think about how do we then manage the situation in space, give them the tools, the equipment, as well as the training in order to address the situation entirely and being less dependent on Earth.

So there are, I mean, we have been on the moon before, but again, that was over 50 years ago.

So it's really kind of getting this new data that even basically Artemis II would be giving us of humans going back into deep space after over 50 years.

So definitely these things would be helpful.

There are even a lot more challenges, I would say, being on the lunar surface itself.

Let's say risks of exposure to like lunar dust.

Obviously the radiation exposures are significantly higher

on even the lunar surface compared to space.

So we really have to take care of or keep all of these in consideration.

My pleasure.

Thank you.
