It's a regularly scheduled part of the operations. But that's actually the magical part. which is that dedication to mission. The fact that, you know, knowing what you're doing up there is so important. It's so fulfilling. It even does overcome the fact that your family is taking up a lot of your slack for you and you miss each other greatly.

I can barely speak when you ask me that in that, you know, it might depend on the person. I have not yet met an astronaut who was bored up there because every day is different. I mean, even if you, we actually barely have time to look out the window, but when you do look out the window, you'd think in a way, I mean, I think I went around the earth more than 4,000 times yesterday.

Well, those things that you talked about, definitely we are seeing some of that. I would say in terms of muscle wasting, that does happen. We lose bone about 10 times faster than someone who has osteoporosis. But here's kind of the good and the bad news is that due to the experiments we're doing up there, because it happens so fast, we're easily studied. And it turns out exercise is here to stay.
