But that's actually an incredibly complex piece of kit.

And they had to go back to using, you know, bags and stuff, which is what was used in Apollo.

Apollo didn't have a toilet.

But this vehicle is meant to be something that gets, you know, used again and again as Artemis goes on this design, so we need to get it right.

I found it incredible and moving, the human moments, like when, you know, Commander Reed, he had, you know, part of the moon named after his late wife.

That was really special and I think showed the spirit amongst the crew.

Seeing how the crew trained together and interacted up there, we can see how much human performance and understanding has advanced since Apollo.

Now, as astronauts, we train very much on crew cohesion.

It's underpinning the mission, and that came through very strongly for me.

I loved how, you know, when the astronauts were behind the moon and had the eclipse, that they saw flashes of impacts on the moon's surface in a way the cameras couldn't pick up.

It showed me, you know, what science can be done with humans on board in addition to the sensors that are up there.

The images that came back and particularly, again, as an engineer, the re-entry images

was something that was pretty special to watch.

I knew what was going to happen in terms of sequence, but still watching it in real time, watching it with my kids, I was still holding my breath with the millions of others around the world that waited.

And for me, it was really seeing, you know, them come out of the communications blackout, the pause until the parachutes opened.

And when they said, you know, four green, they're all healthy.

on return, that was quite something.

And in fact, I've recently learned that more than half the Australian population watch that re-entry, which is incredible.

I mean, not if everything's working.

If everything's working right, you'll continue to have your 21 degrees inside.
