  1. Andreas has such a genuine smile! They dock in just a few hours… they must be so excited right about now. Even though it's a week-long mission, I hope we get lots of videos. 🙂

  2. 2:14 "Har du det godt?" – Are you alright? (in a pedagogical way , not panicky). "Vi ses igen" – We'll see each other again.
    8:36 (his wife) "Ja, og han har prøvet dette mange gange før" – Yes, and he has tried this many times before.
