What would you like to say to President Trump and Elon Musk? I respect you. I trust you. You've given me no reason not to trust you, either one of them. What they say, I can't say what they say, I haven't lived that. But I have no reason not to believe anything they say because they've earned my trust. And for that I am grateful that our national leaders actually are coming in and taking part in our human spaceflight program, which we see is hugely important global significance. And they take an active role. And based on the past and what we see now with them doing that is, it's, it's refreshing. Not just refreshing, it's, it's empowering, it's, it's, it's strengthening for our nation. I think it's a good thing for our nation when the national leaders, especially something that has high visibility, are involved in the process. And I'm grateful for that.
And you know, I'm just glad that they're involved there, take notice. And you know, our situation, I think I mentioned before, maybe wasn't the perfect situation, but allowed a lot of people, including the President and Elon, to look at what's going on on the International Space Station, take it very seriously and understand that our involvement as a country, as a space faring nation is really important throughout the world. And it sets an example and it shows, you know, our ability to, to be able to do the hard things, put people in space, operate in space, work in space, and then bring us back. It's important. And I appreciate that them and many, many, many more people.
