Another step for the Federation, ... Star Trek.

He's really a hard worker. He works his tail off and hopefully he keeps doing that so that we have a better junior and senior on our hands.
|
He's young, so he's on one night, off another night. But when he's on, he's really surprised us with what he's capable of doing.

I did miss having a shower, particularly to clean my hair up. But otherwise what we did onboard was certainly very workable.
|
I know my wife is going to be anxious to see me. I'll be happy to get home on time if Captain Wetherbee and the Discovery crew can arrange that.

I really and truly think that my team is not going to feel the pressure because they don't know what to expect. So I think in this case, being young really helps us out.

I think the biggest issue for NASA and for the Russian Space Agency and other folks... (is) everybody has to accept some cultural change to make this happen. It's probably the biggest problem in front of us and it's probably one of the hardest things we have got to go work on.

I think the most surprising thing about space was how readily humans can adapt to it.

I was pretty depressed, ... But we had a couple cups of coffee and thought about it and got up the next day and life was normal again.

On behalf of the crew on Alpha, I'd like to commend Endeavour and its crew for the tremendous technical challenge and the great achievements ... I can't think of a mission that we've flown in a long time that's been a bigger challenge.
|
Sail her well, ... I am ready to be relieved.
|
So I just want to wish everybody down there happy Thanksgiving from the crew of space station Alpha.
|
Survival training is one of the biggest ways that we did that. I think four years of that before we flew made us really ready for life on station and we adapted well.
