00:00So you know Lauren Sanchez and you know Gail, they're going up, yes, what's your advice
00:09for them?
00:10To be in the moment but also be in the preparation moment, so pay attention and then come back
00:17and share your perspectives, the perspectives you took up with you and the perspectives
00:22that you bring back.
00:23So we gotta ask you right, what does preparation look like, I mean you've done this, well we're
00:28doing it in different contexts, they have a different vehicle, I as a career astronaut,
00:34my prep was very different with classes and stuff but there'll be physiological training
00:39figuring out what happens when you're in these big kinds of aircraft and things, planes,
00:45not planes but the rockets, you just have to know how to take care of yourself if there
00:51are emergencies, which is very different than what we usually do in life isn't it, so that's
00:56even an expectation.
00:57Last, last, last, vehicle, what do you mean by the difference in vehicle because I want
01:00to know, what kind of vehicle are they going in in?
01:01They're on the shuttle and they're on a staged rocket that's going up, so it's just, what
01:08does that mean for like regular people?
01:10So the shuttle looks like an airplane, the origin looks like a rocket.
01:15No way, did Gail like hound you for advice?
01:20I know she's pretty nervous.
01:21We're going to figure out how to talk, she's going to be good.
