I feel that I'm well positioned within flight operations to really make an impact for integrating science, weaving it into the fabric of flight operations to make sure that not only can we maximize science return from these missions, but that we do so while

Always, always, always prioritizing crew and vehicle safety.

And I think I've found like a little niche for myself and I'm just so happy here.

Ooh.

I mean, I just I get so much out of working in operations.

It just like fits with the way my brain works, which is like maximizing efficiency, packaging comms, you know, like just squeezing every little like finding every little corner that we can use to like kind of maximize science return.

I think it just takes like kind of an agile and flexible mind that is OK operating in the unknown.

I don't know what you're talking about.

Yeah.

Lists, spreadsheets, the whole nine.

Fortunately, my husband is kind of the same way.

So it's a good fit.

So they're a little too young to kind of like really sort of get into it, especially the two year old, of course.

But they they did.

I was getting sent pictures from home during the mission of them, like watching me on TV.

And I that I was very emotional seeing those pictures, especially the two year old now.

Like she'll walk outside and like she'll see the moon at night and she'll just even before I do.

And she'll just scream moon and like aggressively point at it.

It's the cutest thing.

So I think, I don't know, I think they're starting to grasp it.
