• This was the first time we had two ex-Soviet Cosmonauts in Houston. A lot of us, including me, viewed it with some skepticism, because I grew up during the Cold War, so I had been hit with all this propaganda all along that their stuff wasn't that good, it wasn't that safe and we were so much better.

So, it was kind of a revelation of sorts as the years went by and I think it underscores the importance right now of international cooperation.
