[reporter 1] The sun is shining

and hope is in the air.

In less than a month,

four regular American civilians

will lift off in a SpaceX rocket.

[reporter 2] Twenty-nine year old Hayley

Arceneaux is one of those four.

[Hayley] My alarm went off this morning

and my first thought was:

"I'm going to be on the Today Show today."

I'm just doing this full-time

St. Jude Ambassador Astronaut

training role.

And so that's come

with a lot of interviews

just to get the word out

about our mission, the fundraising.

I didn't expect all of the media

and all the attention on this big scale

when I got this phone call to go to space.

I remember in the phone call they said,

"It'll come with some media."

And I was like,

"Well, that's not unexpected."

I didn't realize the amount.

It's a lot.

There was one day a few weeks ago

that I did 44 interviews in six hours,

and I was beat after that day.

I was like, "Are they

gonna think I'm a celebrity

if I'm going to the Today Show

with a camera crew?"

As much as, like,

I don't really want all that,

like, the spotlight and things,

like, I love talking about St. Jude.

We have a huge goal.

Two hundred million dollars

is not easy to raise.

And I've actually

really taken it personally

that I want to raise that money.

This is why we're going to space.

It's for these kids,

it's for these families.

Be honest with me. How is the hair?

Going into especially some

of the nerve-wracking interviews,

I just really think about my patients,

think about specific ones

and how I'm doing this for them.

We're all doing this for them.

[Hoda Kotb] We are so excited

to have Hayley Arceneaux

joining us here in Studio One.

Hayley, you're about

to have a lot of firsts, girl.

You are the youngest going up in space.

You are the first Cajun going up in space.

Are we right about that?

Yes, and the first person

with a prosthetic

- body part, too.

- Yeah.

I did want to ask you about the space

suit, because you are rocking it.

And also the zero-gravity hair

is working for you.

It's like better than Beyonce.

How did it feel when you first

put your space suit on?

I felt like I'm an actual astronaut.

I'm going to space. This is happening.

- Congratulations, Hayley. We can't wait.

- We'll be watching.

[Hayley] I'm very aware that

I'm the luckiest person in the world.

So wild, Today Show just tagging me

on Twitter.

I think I'm the only person ever

to just get a phone call saying

"Hey, do you want to go to space?"

I didn't apply for anything.

I never saw this in my future,

and here I am.

[dramatic music playing]

All right.

This is officially the first run

of Inspiration4's fighter

jet training weekend.

- [cheers, applause]

- Welcome.

Why are we doing all this?

Part of this is creating a very dynamic

and stressful environment

without actually sending people

up into space.

It's going to be a lot of Gs.

It's not gonna be the kind of Gs

that we've experienced in the centrifuge.

These are going to be ones

that really hurt.

The fighter jet training was

a dream come true for me

because as a kid,

I wanted to be a fighter pilot.

[Jared] We will stop

if anyone is not feeling well,

but just remember

you don't get to stop

when we're in Falcon 9 and Dragon, right?

If you are feeling sick,

and you want to try and muscle through it,

I think everybody's got vomit bags.

It's great that we're going

to have Inspiration4 people here.

We've got SpaceX people here.

We've got our team

on the ground and we've got family.

The motivation for bringing families out,

it really is just, it can be stressful

for family, so it helps, like, I think,

the family members understand a little bit

about what their loved ones

are going through,

and it's also just a nice thing

for families too to come out

and have some fun.

All right? Break.

[Hayley] Yes.

I've learned more and more about Jared

over the last few months

as I've gotten to know him.

He was born to be a leader.

I've told him before, "You were born

to command a mission to space."

I trust him. I trust him with my life.

[Colleen] You continue to impress me.

And I'm not just telling you that.

It's like, it just instills confidence.

- [Jared] Appreciate it.

- It really does.

We're going to get it really nailed

by the third go.

Especially since both my kids

are going up today.

- Okay.

- But, no, I am.

- We'll take good care of them.

- Yeah.

Every time my family can see our crew,

especially in action,

like, my mom has told me she feels more

and more comfortable.

- Hayden, have so much fun.

- That's right.

[Hayley] I think I was

more excited for Hayden.

- I'm really excited for you.

- I'll be good.

He was always into space,

and so whenever I have these moments

where I can share something with him,

it's really meaningful to me.

[Chris] I think it was just so cool

to have my wife there,

and she takes on so many challenges

with me not being home

and taking on the sole responsibility

of being that parent back at the house.

She's been so supportive.

I can say this with 100% honesty

that I have grown to love

every single member of this crew.

They've become like our family too.

And it's not just them,

it's their family, it's their friends.

We are going through this together.

[Sian] You're ready.

I feel so fortunate

that I got to bring my brother, Chris.

- That's what I do, right?

- [man] You got it.

That's what I do.

You just get to come along for the ride.

- Keep that in mind.

- Exactly. And I love it.

He was so happy to get this experience.

Whenever you have time,

I have a pre-brief before our flight.

A pre-brief? I love pre-brief!

I have some very specific things

I want to talk to you about.

- Ok. I'm ready.

- Ok.

My pilot was Kidd,

and I love that he's my pilot

because he's a former Thunderbird.

He has a really impressive

aviation career behind him,

and I've gotten to know him

so well over the past year.

- I have three main goals for this flight.

- Ok, three main goals, ok, all right.

- I want to pull some high Gs.

- High Gs.

- Yes.

- How many?

As much as you can pull.

- Okay.

- I want to feel all the Gs.

- So two, I want to do a lot of flips.

- Okay.

Gs, rolls

- And then three, I want to take control.

- Gs.

If we can, we'll get you stick time.

Kidd has been calling me the G-Monster

since centrifuge training.

So I wanted to hit even more

than I hit in centrifuge.

- He's always hiding.

- [Colleen] I'm counting on you.

- What?

- I'm counting on you

to bring her back safely.

- Of course I'll bring her back!

- I know.

[Hayley] Ok, she also does this

when I, like, drive after midnight.

- Yes, I do.

- Yeah.

- It's gonna be fine.

- We'll take care of her, I promise.

- [Colleen] I know you will.

- [Heyley] I trust this guy.

[Colleen] I trust you.

[Jared] The idea was:

let's expose crew members to a lot of Gs

and a very physically

demanding environment.

NASA astronauts have T-38s, they've had it

since the beginning of the program,

and it's a big part of every astronaut's

training is getting in those type of jets

and really putting on the Gs.

Can they push through when they're feeling

really poorly at that moment,

because you don't get to turn Falcon off

when you're going uphill to space.

[woman] Three, two, one.

[Jared] When we launch on Falcon 9,

we're going to

be experiencing five, six Gs.

Same on the way downhill when you're doing

this giant breaking event as you re-enter

the atmosphere. That's a lot of Gs too.

And then if there's ever

a launch escape scenario

[man] Dragon launch escape initiated.

[Jared] That can get upwards

of 20 Gs or more.

So no matter, like,

what experiences you've had in life

at an amusement park or roller coaster,

you are not getting anywhere close to,

to feeling what those Gs are like.

There's only two ways you're simulating

anything close to that on Earth.

You're either doing it in a centrifuge

or you're doing it in a fighter jet.

["Jimmy James" playing]

- [Hayley] Have you ever had to eject?

- No. Don't say that.

- I'm just asking.

- Twenty-five years. Never.

Okay.

- So, you ready?

- Yeah, I really am.

- Let's do this.

- Let's do this.

[song continues playing]

People how you doin'

There's a new day dawnin' ♪

For the earth mother

It's a brand new mornin' ♪

For such a long while

There's been such a longin' ♪

[Kidd] All right, here we go.

[Chris] Let's do it.

This is a type of kinda like

A formal dedication ♪

[Kidd] Okay, Hayley.

You ready?

Let's do this.

[Jared] How are you doing, Si?

Doing good, Commander.

I'm not playin' the roll

Just being who I am ♪

And if you try to dis me

I couldn't give a damn ♪

We took off

and then we hit the afterburner.

Pulled straight up, which was awesome.

[cheers, laughs]

Wow. Wow.

That is so awesome.

All right, Si. We're going

to pull a couple Gs, all right?

Okay, I'm ready.

[Jared] Five Gs.

[Sian] Rockin' and rollin'.

I'm Mike D, and it's been proven ♪

[man] Okay,

we're going to get some Gs on.

[Chris] Roger that.

Any nerves I had were, like,

around this little blue bag

I had in a pocket down by my leg.

Would that come out?

Would that stay in?

Is the doctor really setting me up

for success with the medicine

he's prescribed?

- [man] Ready?

- Ready.

[jet engine roars]

Oh, my gosh.

Okay. G-monster. Let's do this.

I'm ready.

Holy sh*t.

Wow.

Eight Gs.

Yes!

[laughs]

This is me and my commander at work

and we are tearing up the skies together,

and he had the confidence

to say, "It's your control."

[Jared] You have the aircraft.

All right, my controls.

Your controls.

["Jimmy James" continues playing]

Handing me the stick of a MiG-29?

Are you freaking kidding me?

That's the best.

- [Jared] How's it feel?

- [Sian] It's great. Are you kidding me?

This is amazing.

- [Kidd] Hayley.

- Yes.

Take control of the stick

and fly the aircraft.

I can do that.

[laughing] Oh, my gosh!

[pilot] You wanna roll the jet?

[Chris] Ah, sure. What do I do?

[pilot] Just nose it up like this.

And then push us all the way

to the edge like this.

- Okay?

- Okay.

[pilot] All right, so pitch up.

You've got the controls.

And then pull up

and then all the way to the side.

Hard as you can. Hard as you can.

- There you go.

- [Chris] This is fantastic.

This is so cool.

[pilot] How you doing back there, okay?

Oh, I'm doing just fine.

[pilot] You didn't have to use the bag,

did you?

[Chris] Ah, negative. Negative on the bag.

[pilot] That's great, dude. Great job.

Okay, Hayley.

Barrel roll.

I'm excited.

Awesome.

He granted all my wishes.

We hit eight Gs,

which I think is the most

anyone hit that weekend.

I texted my orthopedic surgeon

and I said, the internal prosthesis

can officially handle eight Gs.

I loved every minute of it.

I hope I get the chance to do it again.

[Hayley] So exciting to be there.

It felt like a reward

because we had worked

really hard in training.

[song continues playing]

[song ends]

[Jared] Just about a month

away from launch.

It's a time where you want to spend

a little bit more time with your family.

You want them to hear all the stories

meet all the people

that we're spending time with every day.

[all cheer]

[Hayley] It's great that

we can do these things together.

My mom was talking to Jared

and just saying

how much she trusts him

and she knows

this mission's going to go really well.

And Colleen can be kind of hard on people.

[Chris] Most importantly it felt like that

this particular weekend in Montana

was an opportunity to celebrate

the cohesion of the team

and really just celebrated

Inspiration4 being what it is

and looking forward to the launch

in just a short time.

- [Hayley] And so like

- [woman] Wait, it's on the ceiling?

[Hayley] The bathroom's on the ceiling.

There's literally a panel that we take off

and then there's like a funnel.

[woman] So you pee upside-down?

There's no upside-down in space.

I think the majority of the questions

my friends had were like, at first like,

"Well, are you gonna put on

makeup in space?"

And like, "How are you going to sleep

in space?"

And just all like the practical questions

of like, "How is this going to work?"

I've really been touched

at how supportive everyone has been.

I had dinner with one of

my best friends last night

and she's like, you know, she's like,

"You're going to be fine

because you're on a Falcon 9 rocket

and that is the safest rocket they have."

And like, she would never have known

the words "Falcon 9"

a couple of months ago

and now she's, like,

researched all the rockets.

She knows I'm on the safest one.

I thought

that was just the sweetest thing.

A couple of my friends had the idea

to have like a bon voyage party for me.

The name of the party is,

my friends came up with this,

"Let's Get Lit for Lift-off."

You know, there's been no other

American astronauts in their 20s.

This is what we do.

I'm a 29-year-old going to space,

and at the end of the day, I'm 29.

Hi!

She has arrived!

How are my girls?

I love y'all!

Y'all are my favorite people

on the planet Earth.

Thank y'all for being there for me

through space, through all the things.

I love y'all so much.

- Cheers to us.

- [all] Cheers!

[Hayley] This group has been there for me

through so many big events in my life,

also that party carried

a little bit of weight

because I knew it was the last time

I was seeing a lot of these friends

before launch.

[Brittney] Hayley's unique,

and I knew that right from the start.

She's just one of those

that you're just instantly drawn to.

Just a true light, you know,

and such a go-getter.

When I met her, like,

she inspired me to be so much better

and she still does.

Like, that's why I love her.

She's like this outgoing, fun person

and I love being around her.

She makes me so happy.

[Hayley gasps] Oh, my gosh!

Yo, it's me.

Inspiration4 SpaceX.

This is amazing.

I think I'm most excited

for her excitement.

So we're like, pterodactyl!

[Colleen] And I see that passion in her

just being that example

of positivity and hope.

She's having my little niece

and then she's gonna come to my launch.

I'll be on baby duty.

[Hayley] I really thought about,

throughout the whole party,

I'm going to space.

This is my last time seeing my friends

before I go to space.

But it didn't feel sad.

It felt exciting,

and my friends were so excited

and their energy was palpable,

and we just had a celebration.

[Gabrielle] She's going to go up there

and it's going to be awesome.

And I'm going to give her the biggest hug

when she comes back.

I don't really think she needs luck.

Hayley's not one that needs luck.

She forges her own way.

[Hayley] Some have told me

they're a little nervous

but they also say that they feel confident

because of how confident I am.

I thought I would be nervous right now,

but I don't feel nervous at all.

Don't be afraid, don't fall in line ♪

[Sarah] This is the final stretch

of their training.

I really enjoy seeing

their confidence grow

as they start mastering

the difficult tasks

the Emergency Operations.

[computer beeps, trills]

[Jared] Smoke detected?

All right, that's a real fire response.

Let's get our masks on.

Dragon SpaceX VCE

fire in pressure section.

Execute your arrived response.

[air blows]

[computer beeping]

[Jared] What the hell is wrong with this?

- [computer beeping]

- [air blows]

[air blowing]

[Jared] There we go.

[Sarah] At this time

I will just pause here

and end this first drill,

and we're going to do it again.

[Jared] We're doing long days

every day at SpaceX.

We have an immense amount

of trust in them.

We have immense trust in Sarah.

And we know we're in good hands.

[Sarah] We're changing perceptions

about who can go to space

and how you can end up going to space.

But with that, we need to be successful.

We need to make sure we're doing it safely

and that we are approaching the problem

from the right direction.

I think it is the next step

in many ways changing the world.

["Elevators (Me & You)" playing]

One for the money, yes, sir

Two for the show ♪

A couple of years ago

On Headland and Delowe ♪

Was the start of something good ♪

[Lewis] Well, we met

the first day of college.

I was too sissy to talk to her.

So, I didn't say a word to her

for the next three years

because she was pretty.

And I'm an engineer.

First day of college.

And I turned around

and Lewis was sitting there.

Very cute guy sitting there so

we swapped numbers

and eventually started dating.

And then both got super lucky

and got jobs at the same place together.

So it worked out.

[Lewis] You see a lot of folks that are

couples that are both at SpaceX,

because it's how they both cope with it.

We get to talk about work at home

and we both understand

because we both experience

almost all the same things.

I think we understand each other

better for it.

I haven't driven home before 7:00

in like such a long time.

[Sarah] I think it is hard

to leave work sometimes.

I think it comes in waves though.

Like when there's a huge push

to get crew to launch.

Or a huge milestone that's coming up.

You probably live with it more

than otherwise.

- Oh, k*lled it.

- What!

Nailed it.

- It's a little bit hanging off the back.

- It's fine. We nearly got it.

It's hard to do

as you get close to launch.

But all the people that are here

and all the people

that we work with, in this family,

they get what you're going through.

Get through, understand the pressure.

And so it's, I think it's a break

for everybody, which is super important.

How can we help since

we're just drinking wine over here?

[Lewis] Just drinking wine, doing nothing.

[laughing]

[Sarah] I love the people

that I work with.

And this is just a small group

of people that are here tonight.

But all the people that are here get it.

The people that I get to work with

day after day

are the reason that I keep coming back.

- So would you like some wine, Anil?

- Physical training?

[Anil] SpaceX and the Inspiration4 crew

are jointly creating this mission.

So it's almost a work of love, of passion,

together to jointly create this thing.

And it's good to have

a healthy amount of nervousness

that drives us to just be better,

and I think that starts right now

so that when the mission happens

we've closed out all our worries

so that those aren't issues

that we're carrying forward.

There's basil, there's red sauce,

there's bruschetta.

Or, barbecue sauce.

You didn't You feel a little pressure.

it shouldn't go on,

like pizza, or ravioli.

[Chris] Sarah Gillis, she is probably one

of the most professional

and intelligent people I've met.

She is highly motivated

and concerned about our safety.

You know, she's probably had a few strokes

throughout this whole process,

but she has taken it with grace.

[Sarah] Nice work.

As you start getting this close to launch,

it's double-checking and triple-checking

what you've done.

That's probably my worst fear

is having missed something.

I guess it helps having Lewis,

because we can talk about things.

So it actually maybe helps us

let things go faster,

because you can come home,

you can decompress,

but you have somebody you can talk to

what you went through that day with.

- Oh, it looks so good.

- Cheers!

Cheers!

[Benji] So good afternoon,

everybody here in Hawthorne

and across all of our SpaceX

facilities, welcome.

And a huge welcome

to our Inspiration4 crew.

[cheers, applause]

This mission in particular

is super exciting.

This is our first

all-civilian mission to space,

our first commercial astronaut mission.

This is a huge step

towards making life multiplanetary.

- So, thank you again, guys.

- [applause]

[Sian] As we get closer to launch day,

I just keep feeling more ready

and more confident.

I'm gelling with my crew even more.

Just getting to know the crew

and do everything

with this team right here,

and having this extension

of my family up here on stage

that's been one of the best parts.

[applause]

[Sian] Initially, you know, you come in

and you're like,

"Wait, who are these people?"

We really do enjoy each other's company.

So I'm curious what the crew is bringing

with them as personal items.

Uh, well, I was born on Guam

because my dad worked

for the Apollo missions,

and my dad got Neil Armstrong's autograph.

So I have been dreaming

about being able

to take that with me to space

not knowing that it would ever,

ever come true.

Space has been a part of me

my entire life,

but not just me, but my siblings.

I was 19 when my father passed away,

and my brother Langley

has been there for me ever since.

He has just been the best big brother

that I could ever, ever hope for.

I've always idolized him and then

he, like I said,

he's just always been there for me.

So the fact that he is coming

from Australia

to support me

and go into quarantine with me

and to be there for me, means the world.

About the last four years or so,

I've only seen Sian about three times,

but over the last two years, not at all.

I'm based in Australia

and travel is very difficult

in and out of Australia.

Um, but my wife just goes

"This is so important,

if you can't come back,

you'll have to stay in the States.

And I have to be here. There's no way."

I'd give my life.

We moved a lot, because

my father's different roles in work.

His main focus was on the Apollo missions.

[Chris Proctor] My dad,

he was a self-educated person.

He taught himself calculus, physics,

chemistry and that just led to him

getting a job with NASA, you know,

at a very early age in his life.

He didn't have any college

or schooling around this.

And when my dad explained

in the interviews for NASA,

"I just taught myself."

These people couldn't believe.

"You taught yourself how to do calculus?"

He did the impossible.

Being Black and getting a job in 1959

for NASA, and so young.

I mean, he was 19 years old.

[Langley] We moved to Guam and he worked

at this remote tracking station,

and that's the one that really helped save

the lives of the Apollo crew.

Coming back from the Moon,

Houston was unable to track

where the Apollo 11 spaceship was going

and where it was going to land,

so my dad worked with the team there

on Guam, because they had the tracking

station that was working.

They mapped it out,

and then he was able to just calculate

where they were going to land

in the ocean and he sent the ships there.

[man] Unofficial splash time:

195 hours, 18 minutes, 21 seconds.

The crew has reported to Air Boss

that they're in excellent condition.

Afterwards, the Apollo 11 team flew over

to Guam to thank him,

and Neil Armstrong signed

a thank-you to my dad.

[Sian] "To Ed, thanks for all the help.

Neil Armstrong, Apollo 11."

My brother Langley got

the Neil Armstrong autograph

because he said he was the oldest

even though I was a finalist

for the NASA astronaut selection process.

But he's bringing it over

from Australia for me to be able to pack

and bring to space.

[Langley] It's been with our family

everywhere we lived, all across the US,

and then I brought it over to Australia.

And it had to come back,

because it has to go into space.

It has to be part of this mission.

It's just a family history.

We've dreamed about this since the start.

And to actually achieve it, is worth

It's worth our lives.

This is what we love.

This is what we love.

I'm so excited about this

and I just can't wait to see her.

- Don't hurt yourself.

- I'm not hurting myself, you know me.

Well, my head, because Oh, my God, Sian!

[laughing]

I can't believe it.

- It's been forever.

- You're crazy.

Hey!

I know Hi, Langley,

it's so good to see you.

The thing that makes me so proud

is she's always had this dream

of going into space.

She's wanted it since she was born.

It's just in her heart.

I'm just happy she did it.

She did what she really actually

wanted to achieve for her life.

The medal made from the eagle.

That is so awesome.

- I don't want to cry

- Yeah, I know.

- but I wish Dad was here.

- I know.

But as you know,

the most important thing in the world:

A thank-you from Neil Armstrong to Dad.

My dad was so great.

He's I consider him

the greatest person in the world.

He taught us to be this way.

He taught Sian to achieve this mission.

Decades ago.

Can you believe that

I get to bring it to space?

I know.

The fact that I can share

my dad's legacy

Both my parents grew up

half their lives in segregation.

My dad did something,

he contributed, and here's the proof.

And now I get to share that

with the world.

I just never imagined that this

I'd have this opportunity to do this.

- So

- [Langley] Yeah.

Well, it's here.

- It's happening.

- I know! I know!

- I'm so excited!

- Twenty-one days to launch.

Yeah! Yeah.

To know that my dad was able to contribute

to the advancement of human spaceflight

and for me now to have this opportunity

in my way of helping

to advance human space flight.

It's a dream come true.

- Yeah. All right.

- [Chris Proctor] It's perfect.

Perfect.

[Jared] Preparation for

Comm check. Hey, Spacex. How are you?

check. Ground safety.

Next, seat rotation.

Our seats have already rotated right now.

Contact SpaceX for seat rotation.

[Chris] Well, so here today at SpaceX

it's our last day of training officially

before we fly down to Kennedy Space Center

and get ready to get strapped

into the real deal

and go launch next week.

[Jared] Preparation for LES arming.

- Crew check for LES arming. Go!

- [Hayley] One.

- [Jared] Two.

- [Sian] Three.

- [Chris] Four.

- We're getting there.

Verifying tight and restrained.

What surprised me about training

is how much I've enjoyed it.

I've enjoyed feeling accomplished

by how far I've come.

One of my first questions

when I found out I was going to space was,

"Are we going to the moon?"

And now I feel like I've come so far

from that moment.

I'm proud of myself.

You know, while we're sad

that this is our last time

training at SpaceX,

I think we all feel really ready

to go to space next week.

[woman] Dragon, SpaceX. Go for launch.

SpaceX, Dragon. We are go for launch.

[Sian] You know, I don't want to leave.

I don't want it to end.

It's really been the best

five and a half months of my life.

[woman] Five, four, three, two, one.

Liftoff.

One Alpha.

[Jared] This was our final call

from the sim. It's over.

Well, next up is the real thing.

But we're going pretty much

right from here to KSC,

getting in quarantine,

and working out a bunch of stuff

we need to do prior to the big day.

I haven't let you guys know yet.

I wanted to save it for in-person.

We met on Friday and went through

all of our documentation.

We met with the MDs and the cores,

and we have officially

certified you guys for flying.

- So

- [all cheering]

- [Chris] Talk to you soon.

- Talk to you very soon.

- We'll see you down there.

- See you down there.

- Talk to you soon, man.

- Talk to you soon.

Have an awesome week out there,

and I'll talk to you.

- Jared, it's gonna go great.

- Yup.

[Sian] Thank you for everything.

I appreciate you so much

and everything you've done for me.

Just so you know.

You done good. You made us ready.

- Let's roll.

- All right, thanks.

Good luck, guys!

- I'll see you guys.

- See you soon.

- Thanks!

- Bye.

Good luck. Goodbye.

[Hayley] I assumed that I was would

get close with my crew members

based on how much time

I knew I was gonna spend with them.

But I didn't know

how much I was gonna love them.

[Chris] It's really starting to sink in.

My space suit has my name on it.

It's got the Inspiration4 logo on it.

This was for me.

I'm going to space.

Those things are pretty emotional

if you let them sink in.

And that's why I've been pushing them off,

but you can't ignore it for forever.

[Kluger] This is a hinge point in history,

[Sian] This is happening. This is real.

Let's do it.

[Hayley] We've worked so hard.

There's no doubt in my mind that

we're gonna have a successful mission.

[Jared] If we execute really well,

there will be a lot

more missions to follow.
