      I was worried he might bump his head during his dizziness experiment- he was spinning so fast!

      No – everything was well planned and we’d rehearsed the difficult things like the spacewalk a hundred times so we were prepared and confident. The mission was done very very well.

      Tim is a real professional! He worked so well, we never thought he’d make a serious mistake… and he didn’t as far as I know.

      Also, we had so many people watching out for him from Ground and preparing all activities to their finest details, so he was pretty safe up there. Although space in general is a dangerous environment, of course.
