Well, for me it really wasn't a case of deciding to be an astronaut.

You know, Scooter's going to do the first separation burn; I'm going to do the second separation burn.

Because when we're in space, my job is primarily getting us there and getting us back.

Now you're coming back to Earth, and things are getting more and more dynamic.

And, obviously as a, as one who likes to travel around myself a lot, I think the Earth is a beautiful place. And, I'm looking forward to some new perspectives.

And, one thing I definitely enjoyed personally, from a selfish point of view, was exploration and going to places that I had never been to before and learning, you know, meeting the people and getting to know, new sights and sounds, etc.

I see it as one of my jobs to make sure that, it sounds ridiculous, but to make sure the folks are eating, make sure folks are getting enough fluids, make sure folks are, you know, comfortable in the orbiter.
