Jen Psaki

I think that's really important.

And that when we look at this mission, it's not just about the United States.

We have lots of countries integrated in it.

We have people who grew up in, you know, emerging nations who are engineers who've contributed to this mission.

So it's really the fact that we can do our best job when we have more people involved.

And I have to reiterate that over and over again.

The more perspectives we bring, the better we'll be able to use the capabilities that space affords us.

to the benefit of everyone.

That is such an important point.

I feel like there are probably a lot of little girls and boys, adults too, but little girls and boys too who are growing up and see themselves.

Adults always, don't forget about that.

Adults too, but people who see themselves in these astronauts.

And that's an incredibly, and the people involved, and that's an incredibly...

powerful message to send.

Josh, we've shown some visuals of mission control.

I think we all breathed a sigh of relief, even though we knew they were okay as we saw the astronauts emerge in the orange suits.

Tell us what the reaction was there.

Ali Vilshi, Josh Einiger, Moses Small, Jim Bajan, Dr. Mae Jemison, I cannot thank you all enough.

I learned from all of you.

I felt even more inspired watching this, talking to all of you.
