		Shannon, who I think has shown us all how to do a long-duration mission, has set many records here, both on a professional and I think a personal level, has set a standard that people should strive for on every flight we do in space, whether it's long or short.
		I think one of the things that illustrated how Shannon added to the mission she and Yuri and Yuri were on was the fact that I got reports that they laughed a lot more when Shannon was onboard.
		It certainly is difficult, in spite of what Shannon says, to live in a confined space and to be isolated, away from your family for six months, and Shannon took a very realistic outlook and made the most of every day and turned it into a tremendous success.
