But you know what?

There's people all over the country that maybe don't know what we do or when we're doing it.

And it's as important for us to talk to them as well.

And that's why I listen to that song.

That song reminds me that at that time, that community, which is very similar to the community I grew up in, they didn't feel heard.

And so it's a reminder to me that there are more perspectives and more stories out there than you'll hear from the people cheering for NASA on a regular basis.

He was so upset.

I mean, it is a big milestone, but splashdown.

When we land back on the Earth, the destination is Earth.

And when we hit the Pacific Ocean under those three big old beautiful parachutes, my wife is going to breathe a sigh of relief.

And that means the world to me.

All of the other amazing things that will happen on the way.

are irrelevant if that doesn't go well.

So splashdown is everything to me.

We get to do something that's just wholly unique in all of human experience.

We are all trying to move the needle forward, trying to make things better for humanity.

And in doing that, we are also making it better for the groups that we come from or represent.

Talking to NPR, Victor Glover put it this way.

One of the biggest challenges is going to be finding those quiet moments in that time to record and reflect and be in the moment because it'll be over so quickly.

So just I think a challenge will just be to really immerse and enjoy it in the moment.
