[Music]

2
00:00:15,990 --> 00:00:13,679
so when you first got there i was scared

3
00:00:18,950 --> 00:00:16,000
for you but were you ever scared and how

4
00:00:21,269 --> 00:00:18,960
did you overcome it was i ever scared no

5
00:00:23,750 --> 00:00:21,279
scared is the wrong word to use i have a

6
00:00:26,150 --> 00:00:23,760
respect for these things you know your

7
00:00:28,550 --> 00:00:26,160
whole life i've flown high-performance

8
00:00:30,950 --> 00:00:28,560
aircraft deployed on ships and those all

9
00:00:32,790 --> 00:00:30,960
have dangers risks associated with them

10
00:00:34,709 --> 00:00:32,800
you know so it makes me want to work

11
00:00:37,190 --> 00:00:34,719
very hard because i want to come back

12
00:00:38,630 --> 00:00:37,200
home to you all and so

13
00:00:41,110 --> 00:00:38,640
i would say i have

14
00:00:43,270 --> 00:00:41,120
a respect for the things that i do and

15
00:00:45,510 --> 00:00:43,280
the risks that come with that the thing

16
00:00:47,830 --> 00:00:45,520
that i had the most discomfort or the

17
00:00:49,270 --> 00:00:47,840
biggest emotional response to was

18
00:00:51,910 --> 00:00:49,280
leaving you all

19
00:00:54,069 --> 00:00:51,920
and specifically like the being at

20
00:00:55,910 --> 00:00:54,079
launch but being four miles away from

21
00:00:58,150 --> 00:00:55,920
you on top of a million and a half

22
00:00:59,830 --> 00:00:58,160
pounds of high explosives and knowing

23
00:01:01,830 --> 00:00:59,840
you're there watching

24
00:01:03,270 --> 00:01:01,840
and i'm not right there with you to to

25
00:01:05,429 --> 00:01:03,280
make you more comfortable and talk you

26
00:01:07,190 --> 00:01:05,439
through it so i was very grateful to our

27
00:01:08,469 --> 00:01:07,200
friends who helped and were there with

28
00:01:10,390 --> 00:01:08,479
you all to support us through those

29
00:01:13,190 --> 00:01:10,400
things but i'd say that was

30
00:01:15,030 --> 00:01:13,200
my biggest discomfort was

31
00:01:16,310 --> 00:01:15,040
if i could have managed to be in two

32
00:01:17,990 --> 00:01:16,320
places at once i would have loved to

33
00:01:20,149 --> 00:01:18,000
have done those things but also been the

34
00:01:22,070 --> 00:01:20,159
person there with you you know helping

35
00:01:23,830 --> 00:01:22,080
guide you through it or to be there

36
00:01:26,310 --> 00:01:23,840
supporting you through it you said you

37
00:01:28,870 --> 00:01:26,320
know you had fears when i left and and

38
00:01:32,069 --> 00:01:28,880
so yeah what talk tell me about some of

39
00:01:35,510 --> 00:01:32,079
those you told us about a launching of a

40
00:01:37,030 --> 00:01:35,520
different aircraft like three years ago

41
00:01:38,630 --> 00:01:37,040
four years ago maybe

42
00:01:40,870 --> 00:01:38,640
and we watched it

43
00:01:42,469 --> 00:01:40,880
and it was it was an old old video and

44
00:01:44,469 --> 00:01:42,479
it exploded

45
00:01:46,230 --> 00:01:44,479
like they didn't make it the people

46
00:01:47,990 --> 00:01:46,240
there were people on it and that

47
00:01:51,270 --> 00:01:48,000
terrified me so i hated your job from

48
00:01:52,870 --> 00:01:51,280
then on but i learned that

49
00:01:54,710 --> 00:01:52,880
people train you for this stuff and

50
00:01:57,030 --> 00:01:54,720
they're there to make sure that doesn't

51
00:01:58,950 --> 00:01:57,040
happen so it made me feel a lot better

52
00:01:59,670 --> 00:01:58,960
but you know there's always the what if

53
00:02:05,109 --> 00:01:59,680
and

54
00:02:07,429 --> 00:02:05,119
it was like um

55
00:02:09,350 --> 00:02:07,439
if you took my toy it'd be like why

56
00:02:10,869 --> 00:02:09,360
don't take my toy it's mine

57
00:02:12,070 --> 00:02:10,879
it's mean of you

58
00:02:13,670 --> 00:02:12,080
it's kind of what you feel like you were

59
00:02:16,949 --> 00:02:13,680
my toy that's

60
00:02:19,910 --> 00:02:16,959
it's just like it made me no don't leave

61
00:02:23,030 --> 00:02:20,949
yeah

62
00:02:25,270 --> 00:02:23,040
you know it's interesting because the

63
00:02:27,750 --> 00:02:25,280
the last time i deployed

64
00:02:31,670 --> 00:02:27,760
was when we lived in japan

65
00:02:32,790 --> 00:02:31,680
and that was in 2012 so that's almost 10

66
00:02:35,430 --> 00:02:32,800
years ago

67
00:02:36,949 --> 00:02:35,440
and so you were really small

68
00:02:39,190 --> 00:02:36,959
you're really small

69
00:02:41,270 --> 00:02:39,200
and i don't know if you remember what

70
00:02:42,869 --> 00:02:41,280
what life was like your older sisters

71
00:02:44,790 --> 00:02:42,879
might remember more

72
00:02:47,350 --> 00:02:44,800
and you might have you know images and

73
00:02:49,830 --> 00:02:47,360
the smells but like you know the talks

74
00:02:51,670 --> 00:02:49,840
your mom and i had and the preparation

75
00:02:53,270 --> 00:02:51,680
and what that felt like

76
00:02:54,869 --> 00:02:53,280
you know this may be the first one that

77
00:02:57,670 --> 00:02:54,879
you really remember even though i've

78
00:02:59,990 --> 00:02:57,680
done it you know five times before this

79
00:03:01,830 --> 00:03:00,000
and so that was important your mom and i

80
00:03:03,509 --> 00:03:01,840
talked a lot about that what what this

81
00:03:04,869 --> 00:03:03,519
was going to be like and that's why it

82
00:03:07,030 --> 00:03:04,879
was really important to me to be able to

83
00:03:08,309 --> 00:03:07,040
talk to you guys all the time but i also

84
00:03:09,589 --> 00:03:08,319

other and i think that i was i was very

89

i could call you guys

91
00:03:22,550 --> 00:03:21,519
almost any time of the day every day

92
00:03:23,910 --> 00:03:22,560
what did you think about our video

93
00:03:26,149 --> 00:03:23,920
conferences you know you remember what

94
00:03:28,869 --> 00:03:26,159
we did for most of them yeah what

95
00:03:30,149 --> 00:03:28,879
uh charades yeah that was i think i

96
00:03:32,229 --> 00:03:30,159
don't know if it was your mom's idea or

97
00:03:34,149 --> 00:03:32,239
one of you guys

98
00:03:36,229 --> 00:03:34,159
we played games and

99
00:03:37,509 --> 00:03:36,239
it just that time first it flew by they

100
00:03:39,589 --> 00:03:37,519
were never long enough

101
00:03:40,869 --> 00:03:39,599
but i never felt like i had to go come

102
00:03:42,390 --> 00:03:40,879
on guys

103
00:03:44,470 --> 00:03:42,400
dad's calling from space because at some

104
00:03:46,149 --> 00:03:44,480
point right even it's still neat that

105
00:03:48,309 --> 00:03:46,159
dad's calling from space but like after

106
00:03:49,830 --> 00:03:48,319
167 days

107
00:03:52,309 --> 00:03:49,840
dad's calling from space you know i

108
00:03:55,030 --> 00:03:52,319
don't think he was ever like that like

109
00:03:56,949 --> 00:03:55,040
like major oh i don't want to go

110
00:03:58,789 --> 00:03:56,959
because because you made a great

111
00:04:01,509 --> 00:03:58,799
impression first time we played when you

112
00:04:03,830 --> 00:04:01,519
did escalator that was my high point my

113
00:04:05,509 --> 00:04:03,840
charades escalator was cause you could

114
00:04:07,190 --> 00:04:05,519
just float weightlessness right i mean

115
00:04:09,830 --> 00:04:07,200
you know it was good that's funny if you

116
00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:09,840
got it right away so so yeah we had fun

117
00:04:22,469 --> 00:04:13,770
playing charades uh yeah that was good
