We have definitely accomplished all our mission objectives. |
We have had a fantastic mission. We are so glad to come back and be able to say it's a success. |
We made the best decision based on what we knew at the time. |
We reflect on the last shuttle mission , the great ship Columbia and her inspiring crew |
We want to explore. We're curious people. Look back over history, people have put their lives at stake to go out and explore ... We believe in what we're doing. Now it's time to go. |
We're [also] taking up a lot of tools and equipment in the mid-deck. |
We're going to enjoy another day on orbit and we'll see you on Earth tomorrow. |
We're happy to be back. |
Whether your commander is a man or woman doesn't really matter when it comes to getting your mission done. |
You guys made the right decision. We're going to enjoy another orbit. |
