00:00We've been through a lot of simulations for this spacecraft to go through all sorts of

00:17iterations of failures and I think where we are right now and what we know right now and

00:22how the spacecraft flew as it was coming in to do the docking as Butch described, I feel

00:28confident that if we had to, if there was a problem with the International Space Station,

00:33we can get in our spacecraft and we can undock, talk to our team and figure out the best way to

00:39come home. Yeah, like I said, we've practiced a lot so I have a feeling, I have a real good

00:44feeling in my heart that this spacecraft will bring us home, no problem. But like Butch said,

00:49we're learning now to optimize our specific situation and make sure that we know everything

00:56about it.
