2. SOUNDBITE (English) Butch Wilmore, NASA astronaut:
“It’s been quite an evolution over the last three months. We’ve been involved from the beginning through all the processes of assessing our spacecraft, Calypso, and it was trying at times. It was, there were some tough times all the way through. You certainly, as the commander and the PLT of your spacecraft, you don’t want to see it go off without you. But that’s where we wound up. And through all the process, most of the news we heard, as we would hear things over the news waves and the different means that we have to get information up here, that 80% of the time you’d hear Suni and Butch. Butch and Suni, Suni and Butch, Butch and Suni. And I just want everybody to know how much we appreciate that."

4. SOUNDBITE (English) Suni Williams, NASA astronaut:
"We’re excited to fly in two different spacecraft. I mean, we’re testers, that’s what we do. You know, we look at different aircraft, spacecraft, whatever, evaluate it. And that’s a pretty unique opportunity. I think, like, you know, this was not the very first option. We wanted to take Starliner to the completion and land it back on land at home. But, you know, you have to turn the page and look at the next opportunity and, you know, do good for the agency and the country. And we’ll come back with some evaluations of both spacecraft. And I think we’re pretty fortunate for that."

6. SOUNDBITE (English) Butch Wilmore, NASA astronaut:
"We could have gotten to the point, I believe, where we could have returned on Starliner, but we just simply ran out of time because there’s other tests that need to be done, and other assessments that need to be done. And had we had a little more time than we could have done it."

“I sent down my request for a ballot today as a matter of fact, and they should get it to us in a couple of weeks and – absolutely, yes, it’s a very important role that we all play as citizens is to, be included in those elections. And NASA makes it very easy for us to do that. So we’re excited about that opportunity.”
