There's been a tremendous amount of work that's been done that you can't see in Columbia.

And, all these things need to be coordinated; so we all need to work together, have timers going and everything so we're all coordinated and get this piece of orchestration done.

I'm looking forward to coming back, back to Earth, the landing, the views.

So, we have to get up and get pumped up for each day.

Being in space, I'm really looking forward to working with this team of folks that I'm with.

You know, piloting really isn't my hobby. And, it's probably not something I'd do in my spare time if I could do whatever I wanted to do. But, I'll tell you: if you've got to make a living, it's a great way to make a living!

And, so I set my goals on astronaut because, as a military aviator, it was, I considered that to be about the peak of a flying career.
