"I cannot tell you the immense joy of our crew when we looked out of the window and saw the space station for the first time...,"said
Anne C McClain, NASA Astronaut and US Army Colonel.
"You can hardly put it into words. The ride up the Falcon 9, orbiting the earth for the last couple of days, it has been absolutely incredible. It is something none of us could do by ourselves. You cannot be great without the greatness of others. And the greatness of the ground control team has really shined through in getting us up here safely," she added.
McClain was selected in June 2013 as one of eight members of the 21st NASA astronaut class. On her first spaceflight, McClain spent 204 days as a flight engineer during Expeditions 58 and 59 and completed two spacewalks, totaling 13 hours and 8 minutes.
McClain is a commander of NASA’s SpaceX Crew-10 mission, to conduct research, technology demonstrations, and maintenance activities aboard the microgravity laboratory.
