And who knows, something medical can come up, an injury can come up where I may be ineligible for spaceflight. It's not time wasted, I would still be very feel very privileged and it would be a huge honor to support ongoing missions. So to me, I don't know when I'll be assigned to a mission, and I don't care. I will be happy with whatever I have the honor of doing, and I will fulfill any role to the best of my ability.
