1
00:00:00,030 --> 00:00:04,920
It's really exciting to be part of the
Artemis Generation. Excited and fortunate.

2
00:00:04,920 --> 00:00:08,880
I mean, I feel incredibly lucky to be
involved. I'm very humbled and thrilled

3
00:00:08,880 --> 00:00:14,130
to be a part of this. Incredibly exciting
and empowering. Very, very proud to have

4
00:00:14,130 --> 00:00:17,430
this opportunity. It's both an honor and
a humbling thing to be a part of the

5
00:00:17,430 --> 00:00:22,080
Artemis Generation. We are so excited
about what this agency and this nation

6
00:00:22,080 --> 00:00:26,160
is capable of doing. We acknowledge that
we're really just representing an entire

7
00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:30,090
generation – the tens of thousands of
people that are helping to make

8
00:00:30,090 --> 00:00:34,530
this happen. It's really exciting to see
what this generation will do. I can only

9
00:00:34,530 --> 00:00:40,290
dream of the opportunities that seem to
be on the horizon for us. It is amazing

10
00:00:40,290 --> 00:00:45,360
to be here and be a part of the Artemis
program bringing us back to the Moon. I

11
00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:50,520
remember in college thinking that I had
completely missed out on those golden

12
00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:54,539
years when we went to the Moon, and here
we are, doing it and doing it in a new

13
00:00:54,539 --> 00:00:56,789
way.
And to be a part of that is really

14
00:00:56,789 --> 00:01:01,949
special. It's gonna be a stepwise process
and contributing in a small way to what

15
00:01:01,949 --> 00:01:07,950
will ultimately be pretty phenomenal
things, is an honor. I think it's a really exciting

16
00:01:07,950 --> 00:01:13,409
time to be an astronaut. NASA is buzzing.
We're working on so many vehicles and so

17
00:01:13,409 --> 00:01:18,299
many interesting programs and projects,
and we're right on the cusp of doing

18
00:01:18,299 --> 00:01:22,560
some really amazing stuff. So, every day
is pretty exciting. We have space station,

19
00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:28,110
we have new spacecraft coming online, we
have the Artemis program looking to

20
00:01:28,110 --> 00:01:32,460
explore further, and it's just a really
exciting time to be here.

21
00:01:32,460 --> 00:01:35,790
I love the training that I've taken part
in so far and the people that I've

22
00:01:35,790 --> 00:01:39,869
trained with. I love taking on challenges
and I love taking on those challenges

23
00:01:39,869 --> 00:01:44,579
with incredible teams. And there is no
better team than this one. I think we're

24
00:01:44,579 --> 00:01:48,030
gonna be able to accomplish things that
are greater than we can even imagine

25
00:01:48,030 --> 00:01:53,220
right now. To go live and work in orbit
around the Moon. To go to the surface of

26
00:01:53,220 --> 00:01:55,979
the Moon and stay
for a long period of time. How can you

27
00:01:55,979 --> 00:02:00,600
not be excited about that? And I just
can't wait to see what they do next, it's

28
00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:03,079
gonna be amazing.
