It's really exciting to be part of the Artemis Generation. Excited and fortunate.
I mean, I feel incredibly lucky to be involved. I'm very humbled and thrilled
to be a part of this. Incredibly exciting and empowering. Very, very proud to have
this opportunity. It's both an honor and a humbling thing to be a part of the
Artemis Generation. We are so excited about what this agency and this nation
is capable of doing. We acknowledge that we're really just representing an entire
generation – the tens of thousands of people that are helping to make
this happen. It's really exciting to see what this generation will do. I can only
dream of the opportunities that seem to be on the horizon for us. It is amazing
to be here and be a part of the Artemis program bringing us back to the Moon. I
remember in college thinking that I had completely missed out on those golden
years when we went to the Moon, and here we are, doing it and doing it in a new
way. And to be a part of that is really
special. It's gonna be a stepwise process and contributing in a small way to what
will ultimately be pretty phenomenal things, is an honor. I think it's a really exciting
time to be an astronaut. NASA is buzzing. We're working on so many vehicles and so
many interesting programs and projects, and we're right on the cusp of doing
some really amazing stuff. So, every day is pretty exciting. We have space station,
we have new spacecraft coming online, we have the Artemis program looking to
explore further, and it's just a really exciting time to be here.
I love the training that I've taken part in so far and the people that I've
trained with. I love taking on challenges and I love taking on those challenges
with incredible teams. And there is no better team than this one. I think we're
gonna be able to accomplish things that are greater than we can even imagine
right now. To go live and work in orbit around the Moon. To go to the surface of
the Moon and stay for a long period of time. How can you
not be excited about that? And I just can't wait to see what they do next, it's
gonna be amazing.
