This is quite a crew.

It's an honor to be speaking with all of you.

Let me start with you, Josh.

What's the mood at NASA right now?

Jim.

Jim, let me bring you, that was such a helpful summary of what we're watching and what we're expecting here.

Let me bring you into this conversation.

I think there are such a small number of people who are former astronauts, of course, you're one of them.

What is going on with these crew members right now?

Are they feeling relief?

Some of them may be feeling sick.

What do you think is going through their minds right now?

Certainly not, especially after what they have just been through over the last nine days.

Dr. Jamieson, let me bring you into this conversation.

I was talking with Ali Velshi a little bit about how we all sort of fell for all of these astronauts.

I mean, we learned their stories, their names, their families.

Tell us what it was like for you watching this mission over the last nine days, and what do you think it means for the future of the space program?

Well, first of all, let me just tell you about what I hope it means.

I hope it means that we're going to continue on and not have another break like the 50 years that were between the last Apollo mission and this one, and that this is a continual commitment because it's really the evolution of all of this that allow us to get the best benefits.

In terms of what I was thinking, I always had a big smile on my face and very excited that things were going well and that we were moving forward.
