Reid Wiseman

But I was not ready to get out.

If they had said we could have stayed in space longer, I would have been like, I'm fine with that.

Really?

but very warmly, like really supported.

I felt really supported leading up to the launch because that's a very stressful time.

And I just thought maybe the cracks would start to show, you know, in the family unit, but we really leaned in together.

I really, we had two conferences with our families when we were in space and those just felt so warm and positive.

And so coming back,

Yes, things have changed, but the things that I'm craving are the ones that stayed the same.

And I feel like they have a sense of that.

And we're just, when we're together, it's just the way it always was.

How did you all talk to your families about the risks involved?

Two days or one day before launch?

I guess it was.

I should have sent it a little earlier.

That's a great poem.

We were having a discussion as a crew about, like, what if we end up in that situation where we are still alive, but we don't think we're coming back?

How are we going to show up for each other?

How are we going to handle it?

And it was on the heels of that.
