It’s such a long mission and we get to spend so much time in space… we’re doing such exciting research. And I don’t want to overemphasize the life science research, but as a physician the life science research that we’re doing is extremely exciting.
Life science research can be done on multiple platforms. Since we have a very small number of people flying into space, the more people you have, the better.
Science, for hundreds of years, has spanned the differences between cultures and between countries.
