Things are moving pretty quick, and of course, the whole focus is training and getting ready and being able to prepare to be on the world's stage and hopefully do the United States proud.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
America is moving forward and gaining strength. We have been tested, and we have proven ourselves to be a tough, resilient and resourceful nation.
The U.S. has to realize it's got so much going for it. Let's just get ourselves to come together as a team - one team running the country, helping that country to get itself back on stable footing, which then cascades to the rest of the world.
I definitely feel we're moving forward. There's a lot more understanding... there's less fear and we're working on there being less hatred.
The nation is trying to catch up with a rapidly changing world.
This world is clearly emerging before our eyes. The shifts ahead, the opportunities ahead are massive.
Things are going very smoothly. As expected, there are some minor glitches, and the eight minutes that it took us to get to orbit, we trained months and months for, and didn't have to use any of that preparation, other than being aware and ready.
I see success as bringing some confidence back to the American people that despite our differences, we can find some ways to move forward.
The United States has to move very fast to even stand still.
It is a changing world because of the newcomers who keep arriving and who leave us behind. Trying to keep pace with them is doomed to inglorious failure, especially as the pace has quickened so much.
What matters is moving forward and focusing on practical results for the American people.
