Something we had not seen before in space, but had accounted for the possibility.

And that is why, you know, we put in motion the option to bring our astronauts home early, which I think really speaks to American leadership in space.

We can send we can send our astronauts up, you know, more or less on command, which is what we're going to do with Crew 12 is pull their mission forward and we can bring our astronauts home as required.

And this is very important to President Trump and and obviously his position on American supremacy in space.

Well, we're evaluating that timeline now because we're also preparing for the Artemis 2 mission, which is the one you mentioned in your opening comments, where we're going to send our astronauts farther into space than we've ever sent humans before, past the moon, back around the moon, and safely back to Earth.

So there's some overlap in timelines now, so we're evaluating both, which is a great problem to have, by the way.

I love the idea that we are trying to de-conflict multiple historic spaceflight missions.

But I do want to just give a compliment again.

The crew 11 made it easy for us to bring them home early.

They'd completed all their mission objectives, you know, almost ahead of schedule.

They were due to come home in a matter of weeks anyway.

They made it easy on us to bring them home early.

And then to your point, we're preparing crew 12 ahead of schedule and we're preparing our Artemis 2 mission.

So first, there is a big difference between the missions that we've all been watching take place over the last, call it, five years.

You see a SpaceX Falcon 9 and Dragon send four astronauts to the International Space Station almost every six months.

They do it so often that it looks easy and it looks routine.

It's still extremely hard.

You're taking a Falcon 9 rocket, about 1.8 million pounds of thrust in a controlled explosion, and accelerating those four astronauts to 17,500 miles an hour, and you're sending them to the International Space Station.

That's hard.

You want to know what's harder?
