|  And, obviously as a, as one who likes to travel around myself a lot, I think the Earth is a beautiful place. And, I'm looking forward to some new perspectives. | | That's what Hubble can do for us. It can tell us whether the universe is expanding forever or if one day it's going to come back together. | | Now you're coming back to Earth, and things are getting more and more dynamic. | | So, I decided that whatever I was, wanted to do with my life, it would have to do, it would have to have something to do with the exploration and doing new things. | | You know, piloting really isn't my hobby. And, it's probably not something I'd do in my spare time if I could do whatever I wanted to do. But, I'll tell you: if you've got to make a living, it's a great way to make a living! | | I consider myself to be very fortunate in my career, my timing has worked out. | | I see it as one of my jobs to make sure that, it sounds ridiculous, but to make sure the folks are eating, make sure folks are getting enough fluids, make sure folks are, you know, comfortable in the orbiter. | | And, so I set my goals on astronaut because, as a military aviator, it was, I considered that to be about the peak of a flying career. | | Because when we're in space, my job is primarily getting us there and getting us back. | | And, I wouldn't consider myself to be a natural pilot; I've had to work at it. |
