First and foremost our responsibility is to our crew up here to keep each other
safe. Secondly I would say our responsibilities are the work, the
amazing work that we do as part of this orbiting laboratory. As a microgravity
laboratory we do science in all kinds of different arenas from physical science
to biological science human research technology demonstrations and many more.
So doing that work and carrying out the work that is the purpose of the
International Space Station is definitely one of our responsibilities,
and I also think that we have a responsibility to the people that we
represent up here, to carry people's dreams in the space with us, to
communicate the perspective that we have up here.
Copy that I'll move, I'll step
through it on my own for the set up and let you know when questions come up.
And yes we definitely are all doing this as a we, as a team, so you all will be
installing the test cartridge as well.
We have a series of tasks that we're
asked to do and we know that it's going towards a good cause that it's
benefiting the Earth and that it's advancing the cause of exploration for
all humanity, so being able to participate in that every single day is
such an honor and I'll definitely miss that.
The microgravity environment is a
lot of fun it brings about a lot of interesting changes in the human body
and obviously it enables the amazing science that we do here.
When I think
back about the legacy of this mission I think the thing that I'll be most proud
of is just bringing my best every day and contributing and giving back to this
program that has allowed me to be here has allowed me to work for a
mission that I've believed in for my whole life. To my training teams, to the
teams on the ground, the engineers, the planners and the flight controllers that
make everything possible and like I said just remaining vigilant in meeting
the challenges every day up here and just remembering that it's all about
giving back and contributing.
