Bolden "I'm a 'used-to-be-astronaut'"
Notes history of ISS, upcoming year long mission, says making concrete steps towards Mars
"you're the luckiest people in the world" "just suck it up and enjoy this"
[Basically telling the astronauts to stop complaining about the program.]

He's getting emotional about wanting to ride on a Dragon or CST-100.

Seems to be a refusal to say 2017 so far.....likely because it's now 2018.

Talk about retrieving the flag - interesting, hard-to-interpret response.

Sounded like they wanted to bring up a second flag so that each company could bring a flag down.

LEO is the ocean, not an island (let alone a continent). We create cruise liners to ride the oceans, not artificial islands in the middle of them. We need a physical place, which has physical resources, to make our future out there.

John Elbon from Boeing:
International Docking Adapter turned over last week. "No time in history with more spaceflight hardware in development." (sneaks in a reference to Europa).

He's very keen which is good to hear considering Boeing's large space footprint.

He's prophesying that Boeing will be (in 100 years) to commercial space what Boeing is right now to commercial aviation. Exciting attitude.
