Since I've been assigned to this
mission, I've just been really proud
of their response to the
demands on our family,
supporting one another,
bringing high energy to keep
up with this hectic pace.
Your Mission Specialist,
Jeremy Hansen!
I am pretty lucky in this job that
I have the support of this family.
We're like every family.
We have our challenges,
but we support each other
in those challenges, we lean into it,
we work through them together.
When we need help, we ask for it.
The kids have really
embraced this opportunity
as a family opportunity
and a family adventure.
And I think that the challenge
will be tuning out a lot of
some of the external noise and chaos that tends
to be very distracting in the world we live in.
So, we will make that our family's mission.
I get the question a lot, like “Do you want
to follow your dad's footsteps?”
Beyond just his job, which I think is
what a lot of people look up to him for,
I look up to my dad more
for who he is as a person.
Like, I really appreciate the patience
he has, not just with me and our family,
and his confidence and his ability
to just take things as they are
and just get things done.
And that's more what I want to look up to,
and what I want to have in my life.
And I think it's important that when
people look up to other people,
they should see who that person is,
not just what role they fill.
That’s nice.
I definitely trust you to go and do this,
like, 100% and give it your all,
because this is what you’ve
been working towards.
And there's like, no doubt in my mind that
this mission means as much to you
as it means to all the Canadians out
there and all the people in the world
following this mission.
Any other behind-the-scenes
things you want to share?
I was just going to say
he naps a lot, but um...
Do you have a secret talent?
I do. My secret talent or my
superpower is sleeping;
you can ask my wife.
So just something that is important
for me to share to the family
while they're sitting here is since
I've been assigned to this mission,
I've just been really proud of
their response to the demands
on our family, them rising to the
challenge, supporting one another,
bringing high energy to keep
up with this hectic pace.
And also, how all of you
have reaffirmed for me
that this is bigger than just
four people going on a journey.
You see the importance of all
of us investing our energy
to invest in humanity's future.
You all reflecting that back to me
has been super helpful and supportive.
So, thank you.
We’re going to the Moon!
