And we have a question from Fensiri A., who says, if you rewrote an astronaut's guide to life on Earth today, is there anything you would change?

Any new stories you would add?

When you look at what's happening right now with space exploration, what makes you feel really hopeful and what gives you pause?

So we have a couple of questions as we're wrapping up here.

One that I want to ask you that's come from two different people.

So Richard S. puts forward, if we as a species can't take better care of what's right in front of us on the planet, why should we be entrusted to manage a less inviting environment?

And then, which feels like a part two to this, Karina M. says, how can we

cultivate the same level of focus and teamwork here on Earth that astronauts need to survive in space.

And I wonder if there's some wisdom that you can bring that to help us move.

Well, Chris, you've given us so much to think about here, about your own experiences, a new lens through which to look at our planet and the universe, honestly.

And so this has been wonderful.

I know that I speak for all the members in saying that this has been such an enlightening conversation.

Thank you so much for taking the time.

I love that.

Thank you.

Thank you, Chris.

That was wonderful.

And I know that your work is with people in their twenties, young adults, but, and you mentioned in your talk though, that this is something you can apply at any stage of your life.

And, um, at any point it's, it's not just advice that you should use in, in your twenties.

Is that right?
