Yeah.

All right.

So let me start with the last question first.

Well, let me introduce the last question and then, and then...

Which is, you know, my impression of seeing the planet from, from space.

And, um, I've written, uh, three books now, about to, to p- uh, publish a fourth book, that attempt to share [laughs] to share, to share that experience.

Um, so, uh, I'll, I'll get back to that, get back to that in a second.

And so what made you all decide to, to participate in politics to some extent?

Yeah.

And does anybody not feel like we're... [laughs] So yeah, we're at an inflection point.

And, and what I've been hearing, uh, all night is about the power of perspective, and that's what leaving the planet really does for us.

Uh, it gives us, it gives us a, a perspective.

So thank you for this honor to have a conversation with you to, to recognize that moment where humanity was able to take the first steps towards the stars.

Um, it, it...

Like, like I said outside on the steps, it's really poignant that we're having this celebration, uh, the day after the splashdown of Artemis II, um, when those folks came back from, uh, traveling around the Moon.
