NASA does a great job - the people at NASA do a great job - of making a lot of things look easy. Sending probes beyond the edge of our solar system; going in [and] getting samples from asteroids; humans in space. It's a very risky business and things do not always turn out the way you want.
With more time, we could have gotten to the point, I believe, where we could have returned on Starliner. But we just simply ran out of time.
The transition to the space station's crew was not that hard. We had been preparing to go to the station for years prior to our flight earlier this year.
Space is my happy place. Every day you do something that's 'work' - you can do it upside down, you can do it sideways, so it adds a little different perspective.
