Star1 if you have a question and star2 to withdraw your question if it gets answered. All right. Lets jump in. We will start with michael sheets from cnbc. Reporter hello, guys. Thanks for taking my question. I hope you can hear me pretty well up there. Im curious to hear more about your experience testing out crew dragon in the interim time youve been up there as well as do you guys feel like youre ready to come back now, given the amount of time its been already, but whether or not this experience is one that youd rather see staying up there or coming back to test out the splashdown . Thanks. Michael, thats several questions, ill see if i can remember all of them. But i think from an onorbit testing standpoint, we did inhabitability test, we tested emergency equipment, and just generically how we work with the dragon docked on board. Transferring equipment, transferring supplies. Were going to do a fair amount of that again tomorrow when we return equipment or supplies back to earth.
