“So it's a great year to talk about that, the 50th anniversary of Apollo 11. I was alive during Apollo and specifically Apollo 11. I was five years old and I distinctly remember that. I remember that humanity, I'm sure I probably didn't know their names at the time. Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, and Never Forget Michael Collins in Orbit, those three men.”

“That's a great question. Maybe as long as I can remember, as I grew up in Montana, in the Rocky Mountains, in Helena in the capital, and so literally, you know, Mount Helena was my backyard was right up there. So exploring, being in the mountains, looking at caves, just running around, but always being in nature So, since my earliest memories, I think of myself as kind of exploring the natural beauty of the Rocky Mountains where I grew up.”

“Absolutely. For a Mars mission, it's lots of challenges, technology. But since I specialize in keeping my astronauts alive, the psychosocial issues, the psychology of a psychosocial team dynamics, leadership, we're all people. So that's going to be always a huge impact, one of the top three, I think, of any isolated, confined environment and can any mission that is really pretty extreme.”

“Probably not fear. I think in all of exploration, the challenge and the unknown. So probably wonderment. And then just when you really are sailing the world's oceans. Have extreme weather of all kinds. When we were circumnavigating, it was challenging, new dynamic. You really appreciate Mother Earth. You appreciate the winds and the waves. So back to Magellan and his crew, since they really didn't have a three-dimensional map of the globe, of the Earth when they went out, just probably looking over the horizon thinking, what's there? What's there? So I would say the challenge had to be really important in terms of the team dynamics on that leadership had to be incredibly important team dynamics. How do you keep people focused on the mission?”
