First mission was just showing it could be done.

I mean, that was, it was kind of simple in that regard that, you know, up until that point in time, you had to be one of those lucky few that got struck by lightning to get essentially to be picked to be a NASA astronaut or a Russian cosmonaut.

and to show that you didn't have to be a perfect human specimen.

I mean, you know, the crew we assembled, which was a really inspirational crew, and I didn't know any of them.

It all came together, you know, essentially with, you know, with luck, the stars aligned, where our medical officer was Haley Arsenault, childhood cancer survivor, 10 years old, had bone cancer.

All she wants to do is live.

and grow up and be able to help other kids in the fight and work at St.

Jude.

So that's exactly what she did.

She beat the odds.

She grew up.

She became a physician assistant at St.

Jude.

Never knew she was going to get a phone call one day that said, hey, you want to go to space?

She was a great astronaut.

First young, still the youngest American to go to space.

First astronaut to have a prosthesis.

She has a prosthesis in her leg from her bone cancer.

So anyway, she was totally awesome.
