Yeah, it was awesome to find out with the crew that day.

I had had a conversation with Scott a couple of weeks prior as some final pieces were being decided for several missions.

And so to come together with these guys and see the crew eye to eye was pretty exciting.

And knowing what we were going to participate in for the next year, year and a half, it's just, it's...

It's exciting, but really it's humbling, right?

Just to know that you're lucky enough to be selected.

It's a huge honor.

So yeah, happy to be here.

Yeah, honestly, my dream was always to be a physician working with the special operations.

So I was actually living my dream when I decided to apply for this job.

And the reason was, you know, the more I looked into the mission, the team, it was something that I thought would fit me perfectly.

And just so appealing to, you know, think that I could possibly be a person that could

Help explore space.

Right.

I never once in a million years thought I'd be selected.

But when you find something that you think might fit so perfectly, you got to give it a try.

And so, yeah.

So, you know, ultimately, even though it wasn't my dream, it has actually worked out to fit exactly the way I imagined.

Yeah, and I think Dre captured it perfectly.

The number one thing is that we are part of an awesome team.
