The point is, you know, the common goal that everyone has is to bring everybody together and that everybody's diligent to try to continue to improve all the time.
And I think that's one of the –
The thing as a crew member, you just feel very thankful to be part of it.
And then all the people, one effort that it takes, the people you know, which is only a small percentage, and the far greater group that you never have met, but that you've really trusted your life to.
Oh, I mean, it depends on how far you want to go.
It goes in the thousands.
But even directly, when you see mission control, and people call that the front room, and those are the people, the consoles that have labels of their position, such as the CAPCOM, flight director, et cetera, and they're wearing a headset, and there's probably anywhere from as little as, I would say, 5 to 10 to 80 people behind them that are whispering in their ear that,
telling them what's going on.
And they're the traffic cop for that information so that when you hear the flight director go around the room to say, are we ready for deorbit?
And you'll hear people say go and that sort of thing.
They're synthesizing all this information to make that work.
And the dedication of all those folks and they're every bit as involved.
And you'll see the cheering and the applause, et cetera, in the mission control room.
And there's
many more, like, you know, 20-fold more people than that that are in what are called the backrooms that are part of that.
And then there's people at the various contractors that are also feeding them information real-time during the mission and in preparation for the mission.
So it's literally thousands of people that are part of this, and they all play an important role.
And sometimes it's hard to understand that until you've watched this take place.
Yeah, no, that's fine.
You have a better view than I do on Zoom here.
