Looks like we have got him out. We have got him seated. There we go. Another thumbs up. [applause] following the flash dap splashdown, nasa and others held a news conference. This is just under one hour. Hello and welcome to our post press conference. Returning to american soil. Dougastronauts bob and traveling 27. 1s million miles an orbiting earth over 1024 times. As of today, our crew is home. Splashing down 45 years and nine days after the last american splashed down on earth. Our two favorite space dads splashed down on the coast of pensacola thus concluding our first lunch America Mission first lunch America Mission. It marks the first return of american spacecraft from the International Space station. To discuss the mission and talk about launch america are our brief first. First, nasa administrator jim bridenstine. President and ceo of spacex. Steve stich, commercial program manager. The International Space Station Program manager and the entire crew of spacex crew one. Mike hopkins, victor glover, Shayna Walker who are quarantined together and speaking to us today. We will start with opening remarks and take questions from reporters who have dialed in. Please press star one to ask questions. We will be taking questions from the public who have used ask nasa. Lets begin. Jim, opening remarks . Thank you. This is a great day for nasa and a great day for the United States of america. I want to thank our spacex partners and of course the commercial crew program at nasa. What an amazing day. Today, we really made history. We are entering a new era of human space light where nasa is only the purchaser, owner and operator of all the hardware. We are going to be a customer. One customer of many customers in very robust commercial marketplace for human spaceflight to lowearth orbit. We also want to have numerous providers competing against each other on cost and innovation and safety, driving down cost and increasing access to space in a way that is never been seen before. This is an amazing day. We also need to remember this is just the beginning. Now is the time to capitalize on all of the great programs that have been established to include going sustainably to the moon under a program we call artemis, which is on my shirt. When we think about the Artemis Program, we are going to the moon sustainably. We are going to go with commercial partners and international partners. We are going to use the resources of the moon to learn how to live and work for long periods of time. We are going to take that knowledge and go to mars. This is an amazing moment. The commercial crew program has really proven the Business Model for how we go forward. We do more than we have ever been able to do before. I want to say congratulations to spacex and elon musk. Congratulations to gwen shotwell. Certainly congratulations to the entire nasa team which has worked so diligently on this for so many years. It was really a remarkable day. It could not have gone any better. I look forward to getting into the questions. Next, we will go to gwen. Then doug, bob and doug, for the honor you have given us to be able to be here today and have this great achievement. I also have to do a callout to the spacex team. They did extraordinary work. This was an incredibly smooth mission. I am sure it will go into the little foibles we did experience over the 62 days here in the q a. I do think it is important to point out this was an extra neri mission. An extraordinary day for nasa, for spacex. Frankly, for americans and anyone interested in spaceflight. This is really just the beginning. We are starting the journey of bringing people regularly to and from lowearth orbit and on to the moon and ultimately on to mars. Today is a great day. We should celebrate what we all accomplished today, bringing bob and doug back. We should also think about this as a springboard to doing even harder things with Artemis Program and moving onto mars. Thank you, glenn. We will go on thank you, gwen. We will go on to steve. I am almost speechless as to how things went today with the recovery and landing of bob and doug. We had three objectives. To execute the deorbit and entry of the capsule, to demonstrate we could successfully recover the capsule and that we could also bring back cargo from space. There is some valuable science brought back in two freezers on board the dragon vehicle. We demonstrated all three of those things today. I cannot thank you enough the men and women across the country from spacex and nasa who work so tirelessly for five years to make this day happen. To make the whole mission go smoothly. It was a great effort. I would like to thank the iss program and partnership. Today, we had a perfect day to land. A clear day with no waves. The work we did with kenny todd in the space Station Program and i am so thankful for that. The whole part of deorbit and entry went nominally. The entry was as expected. The parachute performance was great. The drogues performed as expected. We did have one issue as we were bringing the vehicle onto the ship. We noticed a slight toxic vapor. They were slightly within limits where we could have gotten the crew out. We took a little time out to purge those vapors out and to make sure bob and doug were safe. We took a few readings inside the cabin. An incredible day. When i left the console, the helicopter had landed on the ship. Bob and doug were out of the capsule getting medical checkups. Things were going very well. An incredible day. Thanks to our team and all the hard work to make this happen. Thank you, steve. The spacex vehicle was on board doing Critical Science for us. What an outstanding day we saw today. Just incredible. Bob and doug for 60 days, bob and doug, the spacex team, were on board doing incredible science. Bob and doug completed 110 hours of science utilization and Technology Development. Work that will help us in technology and lowearth orbit and help us go to the moon and mars and with the Artemis Program, just an incredible day. This is a small window into what we will see in the future. This mission had two crewmembers and we will have four crewmembers, allowing us to do an incredible amount of science and research and Technology Develop an onboard. A huge thanks and congratulations to the spacex and congratulations to the commercial crew program, and all involved in human spaceflight. Thank you very much. Bettina thank you, joel. Lets introduce the crew one team. On behalf of crew one and our families we want to say congratulations to bob and doug and their families. Today was a big day for our nation. It was a big day for nasa and human spaceflight and spacex and for our international partners. We have had an opportunity to witness the work and dedication it has taken to pull off the dm2 mission and it has been impressive and inspiring. As you can imagine, crew one we have big smiles on our face from what we saw on the dm2 mission. After watching splashdown, it did not seem like this was the first nasa Spacex Mission with astronauts on board. It seems to go externally smooth. And went extremely smooth, overall things seemed to go very, very well. We are wrapping up our training earlier this week. We had a chance to see the crew one capsule, a beautiful vehicle. We cannot wait to have an opportunity to take it into space. Today is about dm2 at a successful mission. Bob and doug, congratulations, and to your families. Bettina we are excited for when youre crew launches to the your crew launches to the International Base station. Our first question comes from lauren. Thank you for taking my question. A lot of us took note of the boats surrounding the crew dragon at landing. Im curious how that was allowed to happen, and what nasa and spacex planned to do to prevent that in the future. Im assuming i can get quite dangerous . If not treated properly . Thank you. I will talk about it and then turn it over to steve. That was not what we were anticipating. Of course we wanted to make sure there was a clearing for them to land. The coast guard did an excellent job of ensuring that. And after they landed, the boats just came in. It is a beautiful sunny day. And a lot of boaters were out there and they were intrigued. I think all of america was very anxious, to see the capsule land in the water. But yes, it is something we need to do better next time. I will out a couple of things. We do clear that area and we have a tent nautical mile area we clear. We have a couple of coast guard cutters that were clearing the area and they did an excellent job. It was totally clear for the actual splashdown event. Then, it was a Beautiful Day and a lot of people out boating or fishing and saw the capsule and came in. We have work to do with spacex and we will Work Together to do a better job for the next splashdown. Bettina thank you. Our next question comes from chris devonport. Congratulations on a great mission. I wonder if you had updates on bob and doug. It looks like they were feeling well. Any updates on their health and how they are doing . And again congratulations. I know that when i left the control center, bob and doug were doing well. We watched them in the capsule and they were moving around, and looking at displays. We asked them to take a few readings to make sure the cabin was fine. We had gotten them out, and they were going through medical checks. All indications were that they are doing well. The plan for the rest of the day, some helicopters will take them off the ship to Pensacola Naval air station and they will return to houston tonight. Looking forward to seeing them when they get here. It has been a great flight. Bettina thank you for that question. We are all anxious to see more about bob and doug and make sure they continue to be ok. Our next question. Before ask the question, gwen i remember sitting in a hotel lobby with you and elon, looking at the first drawings, so this has to be cool for you guys. Everyone had a tear in their eye. Regarding the boats, i took safety classes at nasa and nitrogen tests are something you do not monkey with. I wonder why you dropped space capsule into a location where powerboats were likely to be. There was a guy with board and another with a flag and no one seemed to be trying to shoo them off. Are you going to try to be not as close to shore next time . A number of options but you are right, we can do better. Certainly, we had all the clearance that was required at landing. Then, as soon as that capsule was in the water, for a time, the boats made a beeline for it. It is the big area to have to clear and to clear all of it is probably going to require more resources. Yes, there are things we will look at for next time, for sure. Everybody understands the cruise we had deployed, their focus was to make sure bob the crews we had deployed was to make sure bob and doug got out safely. It was not their job to police the area. The lesson is we perhaps need more coast guard assets and maybe more spacex and nasa assets as well. What is important is that bob and doug got on the boat and we were able to keep the area clear for landing and asked people to move back when they came too close to the dragon capsule, which they did. This was a demonstration mission. This is the time you go learn about these things. And we would be better prepared next time, certainly. Bettina our next question from irene clark. Thank you and congratulations everyone, it was impressive to watch today. [inaudible] ive to watch today. Cut out a little bit. Thanks for the question. Yeah. This mugs was incredibly the iss crew, and spacex plans to fly passengers. After going through this mission, do you still think youre going to be ready [indiscernible] the system for [indiscernible] passengers as early as one or two more [indiscernible] . Bettina you cut out a little bit in the beginning. Gwen thank you for the question. This mission was incredibly smooth. There were things we want to work on i do better next time. The capsule worked beautifully. The operations worked extremely well. So we certainly feel comfortable we are on the right path, to carry commercial passengers. Not too long from now. Obviously our focus is ensuring we get crew one lifted off in time to do a handoff with crew two. Based on the results we have seen so far, and theres more data to look at, but based on the results of far, i am very comfortable. Bettina ok. We are going to ask and get a quick question from twitter. We have bulgari ask, how long will it take astronauts to normalize after they leave the capsule . How much to return to normal life on earth . Steve, do you want to take that . Steve sure. It depends. Bob and doug were in couple of months. They will come back here and start to do special training. Sometimes within a few days or weeks, theyre kind of back to normal. It varies from crew to crew. We will get back we will get them back here and there will start doing special exercises and special things to get them readopted to earths gravity. So far they look like theyre doing really well. So we are looking forward to getting the back here in his 10. Dust in houston p back here in houston. Bettina our next question. For gwen, based on results so far, how Many Missions before you start flying private crews . And because we are planning to reuse the capsule for crew 2, can you wrecked on the refurbishment process for this, and how nasa came to agree to reusing these capsules after they splashdown . And for jim and steve, i would love to hear your take on that as well. What happened to make this crew capsule reusable for humans . Thank you so much. Gwen appreciate the question. We are trying to change the paradigm for human spaceflight. You need to make sure these capsules are rapidly and readily reusable. We have been working on this with our large customers, and with nasa, for probably half a decade or so. The dragon to vehicle itself was designed with far greater certainty on ensuring it can be reused. The capsule is designed for 510 missions. We have to see how things worked out, after we examine the capsule, when it gets back to port and back to the cape, to our facilities there. Based on the telemetry, and visual mi kit visual indications, the vehicle looks like it is in good shape. I will let steve and jim talk about the journey on getting reusability. It was a part of our original bid for the commercial crew program. As gwen said, it was part of the original bid and the vehicle is designed for 510 flights. We will look at the vehicle and continue to do that. For us it looks like it is original thing to go and do. Part of the question is how long does it take to refurbish the vehicle . It takes four months or so. So we have a lot of margin getting into the flight in the springtime plan for crew two. The vehicle, as soon as it gets back to area 59 at the cape it will start going through its maintenance. Nasa is a part of that maintenance and we have a presence in area 59 and we will follow along with every step of that maintenance. And also look at the certification to make sure there is nothing untoward, and we will do that as we build up to the crew one launch in the fall. We want to make sure we have overlap between crew one and crew two, make sure we have access to iss, and we are doing that withdrawal and the iss program. Jim i think that sums it up. Our desire is an agency has been for sustainability and that means reusability. Not in every case but in most cases. And spacex has proven they are capable of doing that. We are looking forward to doing crew two of the capsule that just came home. As steve said, theres a lot of work that needs to be done between now and then at a lot of evaluation. And as gwen said, based on the telemetry, it looks like we will be in good shape. Bettina great. Our next question from marchant done marcia dunn. Once the deorbit burn occurred, was it tense inside Flight Control at spacex . You are sitting next to elon musk. What was it like for him and you during those final minutes of the flight . And especially right after a successful splashdown . Could you describe this moment, please . Thank you. Gwen there is no question it was an enormous relief, after months of anxiety, making sure we could bring bob and doug back home safely. Splashdown was really just the beginning. We wanted to make sure bob and doug exited the vehicle safely and looked good. So a lot of people were tearing after splashdown. I got a lot were cheering after splashdown. I got a lot of congratulations on my cell phone and emails. But we were not done until he got bob and doug out of the capsule. Elong hopped on a flight and he is going to houston to meet up with the astronauts. And i have a crew here in Mission Control making sure bob and doug got safely on the helicopter and will get safely back to shore. So not everybodys job is done yet. But it was an initial relief, for sure. It was a great relief when i saw bob and doug come out of the capsule smiling, thumbs up, looking very cheerful. That was the good moment. Bettina thank you so much. Our next question from erik worker. Eric burger. A question for gwen. It has been 12 years from this day when falcon one felt on its third flight. That is 12 years. Since any of launch three rockets and a couple of spacecraft and output to people into space and brought them back. 12 years is not that long a time. Can you process some of, the transformation of spacex that is happened during this timeframe . Gwen you know, 12 years seems like a long time to me. [laughter] candidly, it is hard to process. I did not know today was the anniversary of the third falcon one flight. But you would know that, so thank you for reminding me of that. I never shy away from our failures. They are incredible opportunities to learn. This company has learned a lot. But i have to say that we would not be the company that we are today, and we would not have achieved this goal, without the support that basically, kind of the moral support and the financial support, as well as the Technical Support that nasa has given us over the years. I think in august, 2000 six, is when we started working very closely with nasa. August, 2006. Although it seems like a long time we have done a lot in that timeframe and we have done this in partnership handinhand with nasa. It is a great day to celebrate, not only bob and dougs return and there being the heroes that they are, but also to celebrate this extraordinary relationship that we have with nasa. Bettina and it has been a great relationship. We are going to ask lessons from social media. We have a question from arturo valdez, for the crew one team, on training close to the launch date . And how does it impact what you do on the iss . That is a great question and thank you again for the opportunity to speak to you all. The data collecting is going to help move forward to our launch date. We have to refurbish the vehicle and get it ready for crew to so we can have time to hand over. We are ready to go to the space station. We are close to ready to fly the dragon into lowearth orbit. It is all important also important we take time to enjoy the accomplishment, celebrating with bob and dougs families and with that nasa and spacex teams, and being in a moment to appreciate all that is happened here. Bettina and anything else from the information on what we learn from dm2, and how it impacts future missions at the iss . We took the opportunity to do habitability studies while the vehicle was attached to iss. This vehicle came up with two crewmembers and we will have four for the next vehicle so we do testing on that and learn a few things. We learned testing on how to store items and how to live on that vehicle. A number of items we took. We took advantage of having the vehicle therefore 60 days. That will help us make a better vehicle, in the sense of better operations for crew one, and crew two, for subsequent vehicles. Bettina we will go back to our reporters and next to stephen clark. Thank you for taking my question, from spaceflight now. A question for gwen, since you will be reusing these crew dragon vehicles. Im curious, to plan on building a fleet of vehicles Going Forward and how many do you think youll need to have in your rotation for demand from nasa and private astronauts and private passengers Going Forward . And switching to the crew one flight, i think youll be the first astronauts since john young to fly on three different launch vehicles, with your experience on soyuz and the space shuttle. Im curious if you can compare your experiences on those two vehicles, writing them into orbit and how falcon nine may compare going into it . Thanks. I will go first. Thank you for the great question. Yes, i am honored to fly this mission along with my experience with the shuttle and the russian soyuz. The important thing is im a rookie to spacex, and i am learning a lot from my commander and my pilot in this training for a long time. I just started like last february. So this is like going back to square one. Everything is for my safety, and our teams safety. So every day is like [indiscernible] the important thing is we have a Great Variety or diversity in this crew. My small contribution to this great team is experience. We have different views and different backgrounds. The diversity brings us resilience to this crude so it should be a great mission, thank you. Bettina the other question was for gwen. Gwen thanks, bettina. We are building out a fleet of dragon to 2, both crew and [indiscernible] and we want to see how any we have to build before we say we are done building out the fleet. We want to see how the vehicle looks after we get the opportunity to inspect it. We do anticipate building out the fleet. Bettina thank you. We will go back to the line and next is jackie goddard. For the times of london, and congratulations everyone. My question is for the crew one folks, mike, shannon, victor, soichi. I wonder few could describe the splashdown as you watched it and what it means to knowing that your flight depends on the success of this one . Thank you. Thank you for the question. We were together in the control center here in houston watching the splashdown. It was so exciting. It is fair to say it was a very emotional event for all of us. To be able to watch our colleagues, our friends, come home safely, is always an emotional event. And to see how smoothly everything went, during their splashdown and the reentry. So we are very excited it want as smoothly as it did. Because now that really points to the success of power our mission will beat when we get a chance to launch. Thats how our mission will be when we get a chance to launch. Bettina thank you, shannon. We will go to dave mosher, business insider. Thank you, gwen, this is for you. You have tons of data to go through, im curious what is the most surprising thing your team learned from the mission so far . And is there one thing you would fix or change for crew one, for these guys on the call . Gwen i have such an Extraordinary Team here at spacex, i do not want to undermine any of that. But i think probably the greatest surprise is that this mission was as smooth as it is, like i do not want to take anything away from the team, but this was a demonstration mission. This was not the flirt the first flight of dragon two. This vehicle had a lot of capability on it that was not flown during that demo 1. So i think we are surprised, minorly surprised and incredibly pleased that this went as smoothly as it did. And theres no question we learned things we want to roll into the crew 1 flight. We learned about preflight. And the solar arrays, we are looking to have upgrades to make sure the vehicle survives on orbit for the sixmonth requirement. By the way, the solar arrays on this mission did better than anticipated. And we certainly would have been able to complete the mission, the original planned mission duration, we had a couple of months of margin to spare. So, prewe learned some things. And we will make sure we include those in crew one. As far things we learned real time today. I think instead of two generators, a primary and backup on the rescue boat or the recovery boat, i think we will have three generators, one primary and two backups. That is one example, a small thing we will want to do Going Forward. Bettina next, andrea wissinger from the houston chronicle. It was great watching and we cannot wait to have the back in houston. How did the landing compare to the apollo capsules . Was there new technology to make it smoother on the astronauts or was it similar . Thank you. I was not around during apollo. But i would say the landing compared to the apollo spacecraft was similar. It turns out the parachute technology, and landing a vehicle in the water, requires very similar kinds of shoots chutes for the drogues that deploy up high to stabilize the vehicle. Spacex shows the use of four parachutes whereas apollo had three. All in all the technology is similar. The vehicle itself compared to apollo, you compare this dragon, what an incredible spacecraft. Very much automated spacecraft. The crew, from that time, the deorbit burn, all the way to splashdown and landing, it does not really have to take many action on their own. The vehicle does that by itself and it is very autonomous. So all in all, it is a similar kind of landing. Bettina next to jeff of space news. Good afternoon and congratulations to everybody. A question probably for steve, you talked about this earlier but maybe more detail on what is involved with going over the demo to spacecraft now that it is back . And the process that will lead up to certification so you can launch the crew one mission. Steve happy to talk about that and we will do a few things to get ready for certifications. We will review that telemetry and data from the dragon. We have done that for the whole flight to date. We will do it now for undocking, all the way through on and recovery. We will have engineers, and we do it jointly with spacex and we have our nasa team and spacex team Work Together and go through the data for the systems. Life support, propulsion and so forth. So we will go through all of the data to make sure there is nothing anomalous there. Second, we will look at the parachutes, a very important system on the vehicle. Spacex was doing a very good job of recovering those today so we will take them back and analyze those to make sure they are performing well. Third, spacex will take the vehicle apart. One benefit of reuse, i would say, is the fact that we will take some of the vehicle apart, some of the nose cone will come off, the heatshield comes off. We will start to inspect part of the spacecraft and sometimes we can learn things from that. So we will do the inspection and put the data together. And then head into the certification this month or early next month. Bettina we will go to Michael Sheetz from cnbc. Great to talk with you and congratulations to everyone, especially bob and doug. I want to note that both the astronauts were helped out of the capsule. I was wondering if that is the protocol nasa and spacex have in place . Or will future astronauts be comfortable enough to be able to step out and walk out themselves . Thanks. It is typical for the longduration spaceflight, when a crew returns to earth, that they need a little bit of assistance coming out of the capsule. If you think about the human body, when it has been in space and bob and doug were in space for 63 days. When it comes into earths gravity, the body does a wonderful job adapting to zero g. And you can live and work very well in space. But when you come back in the atmosphere, they pull four times the force of gravity today coming back. Then the gravity is tugging on them when they come back. So it takes the body a little while to adapt. And it takes a while to adapt to gravity again. That is what you see with bob and doug today and it is typical. So i would expect that for many of our missions, for these longduration missions, with a six month duration. You will need more science coming up and coming back. What does it mean to have four people up there instead of three on a permanent basis . We are planning to have four to five Cargo Missions to the International Space station. The beauty of having the fourth crew is that persons time will be dedicated to you delays a little . Utilization and development. We average about 35 hours a week in that area and we will increase that to seven days a week. The fourth person will not be dedicated to that, by the time he brings to the team will be dedicated to that. We are looking forward to it. Opportunities to do these crews as you are well aware in the past. Taking that time to learn and plan forward. The upcoming spacex and boeing Missions Work and we are ready to rock and roll. Our next question comes from mike. Thank you for doing this. Crewis another one for the one astronauts. What kind of conversations do you guys want to have with bob and doug . What do you want to ask them about how things were handled or how it flew . What do you most want to talk about . That is a great question. That was timely to talk to them after the launch because we were able to do it when it was in fresh in their mind. Talked about the stages and what it felt like and when they were sitting there fueling the rockets and some feelings they was good andinly it was great to talk to them that quickly and hopefully we will have the opportunity to do that again here in the post landing, trying to talk to them while it is fresh in their minds. About how hear all much the gees came on. A dynamic time so im curious what that was like. You can imagine we are all curious what it is like to splash on the water and what it is like afterwards. We are hoping we already put in our request for a day like today because the water looks very smooth and it was beautiful. We are hoping that will be the same thing. Glass. Water looked like thank you for doing this and congratulations. To possibly get gwens thoughts, may be more just a reaction, if you will, that this spacecraft that arrived today, bob trusted it for his mission and bob will again trust it for his wifes mission, which is pretty impressive. I wonder if you could talk about that for a bit. Yes. I would like to point out that megan is, first and foremost, an astronaut, when it comes to our perspective. Sure she and i am bob have a different perspective. Selected to be one of the esteemed members of the crew mission. We will make sure that vehicle is as good or better than the vehicle that bob flew in today. A few months ago and today. So yes, place spaceflight israel spaceflight is really hard spaceflight is very hard. This is still really hard. I want to make sure everybody understands that we still have a lot of work to do. We will learn every mission that we have, but first and foremost, our job is to make sure the astronauts remain safe both uphill and downhill. What we did for bob, i think we can do a better job for megan. Excited to fly in this particular capsule. Her nameited to have to the pilot for the crew to mission. Our next question comes from from l. A. Times. Thanks for taking my question. Maybe this is for gwen or steve. Tell us a little bit more about what was detected outside of the capsule. Anything you are looking at or might need to be changed before the next light . Flight . Start. N its a pretty common practice with any spacecraft. We would go around and sniff thrusters to see if there was any vapors from those thrusters. We did that today with dragon, and we had a slight hit on the sensor. We think there may be a mechanism where its getting entrapped into the Service Section. We have to look through the data. I think we will figure out a way to handle it better on the next flight. Perhaps starting with the purge. We have had somewhere things with other vehicles. We will get hundreds of things to look at, even though the flight goes so well. One of the things we do in spaceflight is poor over the data. Gwen want to make sure everyone understands we have a lot of work to do. Our job first and foremost is to make sure the astronauts remain safe uphill and downhill. What we did for bob i think we can do better job for megan. I excited to have her named the pilot for the crew two mission. Bettina our next question from Samantha Masunaga from the l. A. Times. The fumes detected outside the capsule . Anything you are looking at or anything that might need to be changed before the next flight. Gwen we made sure initiate a that we would find any system breaches. And we did initiate a Service Section purge and we would probably do that sooner next time. It was also an incredible calm day. There was not a lot of wind blowing on the capsule as will probably be going more in the future. But it was a good lesson for us and we took an extremely conservative approach here but we could have brought them out of the capsule sooner than we did. We made sure the inside of the dragon cabin was not experiencing any fumes. Bob and todd, we heard doug say take your time, we want make sure we are doing the right thing. Take the time you need. We were not in a hurry. I really wanted to see bob and doug come out and i think we did the right thing and got the levels to nearly undetectable before we opened the hatch. I would add, modify what steve said he said it was not that big a deal and it was pretty common and that is true. What is not common is having passersby approach the vehicle at close range with nitrogen tech peroxide tetroxide in the atmosphere. That is not good and we need to make sure we are warning people not to close to the spacecraft in the future. Bettina our next question comes from zachary hall, from space explorer. Com. On that same token, it is clearly an Educational Opportunity for the public, especially with splashdowns in places where it is not been in 45 years. As i watched this i was learning about it and im curious about is there a safe viewing distance, the public could understand and be from . And also on the same idea of inclusivity and involvement in space, what is the better way to channel your excitement for these activities . I know we are in the middle of a pandemic and a parade might not be appropriate. But is there something that can be done to celebrate the moment and also involve the public in it . A safe distance and we are celebrate in a moment and we invited everybody to join us online and to share in the moment in the Different Social Media platforms. Spacex did a great job with the broadcast. I think are different ways we can do it. Certainly, approaching the spacecraft is not among those ways. Bettina we will wrap up in a few minutes. One of our last questions, from Jackie Wattles at cnn. Thank you for doing this and congratulations. I was curious if we could get insight into what is ahead for bob and doug over the next few hours and days. Are they going to get to go home with the families tonight . How might the pandemic change how their post splashdown rehabilitation goes . Jim i can start off. Bob and doug have left the ship and when they will be transported to pensacola and they will get medical valuations. Steve i think and im not quite sure whether the plan is to stay onsite for observation or go back to their families. Certainly, a lot of precautions were made to protect for the pandemic. Everybody on this ship was quarantined, on their personal level, selfquarantine for couple of weeks. They got tested. We went through a lot of precautions to protect bob and doug. And to make sure they are safe from the virus. We are excited to have them back here in a few hours. Bettina the last question from marina. Congratulations on a successful splashdown. This question is for gwen. Sending your opening remarks itt foibles were you referring to . Actually, the foibles i were referring to were today. On thea backup generator go navigator stop working before we set sail. Next time we are going to have two backup generators. We did mobilize another one, but it was not going to get support in time for the vehicle to set it got toke sure bob and doug. We had that vehicle flanked with other ships, so we were pretty comfortable. That was one. The discussion that we were just oxidizer on the outside of dragon, we will work on that op to make sure we keep the astronaut and astronauts and the folks around the capsule safe. The mission on orbit was incredibly kind of quiet. I cant recall offhand whether there were any anomalies. Certainly nothing that stands out. Thank you. With that we will turn it over to jim for some closing remarks. Thank you to everybody who participated. Bob andecial thanks to doug and their families, the and the spacexm team for one an amazing day this was, a historic day. About whateone asked size of the fleet you need, and do you expect to grow it
