There's so many more pictures, so many more stories, and gosh, I haven't even begun to process what we've been through.

I've actually been thinking about entry since April 3rd, 2023, when we got assigned to this mission. And one of the first press conferences we were asked, what are we looking forward to? And I said, splashdown. And it's kind of humorous, but it's literal as well, that we have to get back. There's so much data that you've seen already, but all the good stuff is coming back with us. There's so many more pictures, so many more stories. And gosh, I haven't even begun to process what we've been through.

We've still got two more days. And riding a fireball through the atmosphere is profound as well. So I have to answer that question later. I'm not sure, but I can tell you it's a lot. And lifelong memories. I'm going to be thinking about and talking about all of these things for the rest of my life for sure. Christina Koch was asked what day-to-day living has been like on the Orion Craft.

We are going for our families.

I don't know.

I'm very protective of my emotional well-being and my mental bandwidth.

So I don't think of things in ways that are going to put pressure on me.

I don't.

I do.

I like to simplify.

Colin Powell said a great leader is a great simplifier.

And so I try very hard to make these things into very simple widgets that I can use to understand the vehicle, my team and our mission and then put together solutions that make sense.

And it is, it is a song now.

It's originally a poem and it's called Whitey on the Moon by Gil Scott Heron.

And it's funny because that space symposium caused me a lot of grief in the next months because people tried to quote me out of context and it ain't about racism, it's about the human condition.

That song is a reminder that everybody wasn't having a good time in 1968 when we launched the first Apollo missions.

People were struggling.

Some people were like, these bills and these potholes, like my condition hasn't been improved by NASA.

It's easy to go to Comic-Con and South by Southwest and talk about NASA with all these tech people who love everything that we do.
