And one of the coolest parts about our team is that we do help to inspire humanity, both from outreach to engineering to exploring and getting on the rocket and going to space.

And ultimately, space is awesome.

And so we're going to work our butts off for the next year and a half, and it's going to be challenging.

And then you get to get on a rocket and go to space, and it's absolutely worth every little bit of work that you're going to put into it.

So a lot of work, a lot of sacrifice, but ultimately the payoff is both incredibly fun and amazing.

And then a few minutes after that, it hits you that how privileged you are to be able to do it and that we are helping to inspire future generations.

And it's pretty cool that, you know, really regardless of what mission you're doing, you

It's all of those things.

But being part of a mission now that's going to help set the foundation for a program that's going to take our nation and humanity back to the moon and then onto Mars, that feels, I think, a little bit extra special.

Just being part of that foundation for something, right?

And something that's bigger than ourselves.

So, yeah, super excited about it.

Yeah, I think ultimately it comes down to trust and confidence, right?

Trust in the team that's going to train us and knowing that they have put in way more work than we ever will into developing all the possible scenarios that we could encounter and training us over and over for those things.

And that repetition builds confidence, right?

And so when you do strap into that rocket, you think of all those people who've trained you and it just gives you confidence that like we...

you know, hopefully the mission will go perfectly.

But when it does not, because it just never does go perfectly, we are ready and trained to deal with almost any contingency you can imagine.

Yeah, so I think, again, there's a confidence in knowing that you are ready for everything you've trained for, right?

You just put in a lot of time and effort, as Dre said.
