There was a great interview with, I think it was a...
a former astronaut, Peggy Whitson.
She was in the International Space Station, actually, for a very long time.
And they asked her during the Artemis launch, so what were you feeling when you were sitting there and it's getting close to the countdown and what are you feeling, you know, what were your emotions about yourself, basically?
And she said, I wasn't thinking about me.
I was thinking about the hundreds of thousands of workers who got me there and how I was doing this for them.
For the team, for the group, you know, this is, again, as a sociologist, we have to look at how we relate to other people and how you come together and accomplish a lot more together than alone.
That's the other big shift I think that has happened since the Apollo era is we've become much more individualistic, much more focused on ourselves and what's going to make us happy and what's going to make us fulfilled and what can we accomplish as an individual.
in a way that's detrimental to a lot of life, that's detrimental to community.
It's really taken the focus off of trying to help each other.
And it's difficult today, but maybe some of these amazing photos and the words from the Artemis astronauts can bring us back around to trying to have that perspective that thinks about something greater than ourselves.
Thank you so much for having me, Flora.
I really enjoyed it.
