Victor, I have one for you. 
Apollo 8 had a memorable Christmas Eve reading from Genesis. 
Do you have a message you'd like to share from space about Easter Sunday? 
You know, I don't have anything prepared. I I I'm glad you brought that up though. I think these observances are important 
and as we are so far from Earth and looking at you know, the beauty of creation. I think that for me one of the really important personal perspectives that I have up here is 
I can really see Earth as one thing and you know, when I read the Bible and I look at all of the amazing things that were done for us who were created. It's you you you have this amazing place, this spaceship. You guys are talking to us because we're in a spaceship really far from Earth, but you're on a spaceship called Earth that was created to give us a place to live in the universe and the cosmos. 
Maybe the distance we are from you makes you think what we're doing is special, but we're the same distance from you and I'm trying to tell you just trust me, you are special. 
In all of this emptiness, this is a whole bunch of nothing this thing we call the universe. 
You have this oasis, this beautiful place that we get to exist together. 
I think as we go into Easter Sunday thinking about you know, all the cultures all around the world, whether you celebrate it or not, whether you believe in God or not, 
this is an opportunity for us to remember where we are, who we are and that we are the same thing and that we got to get through this together. 
Well, for someone who didn't have anything prepared, that was that was really quite extraordinary.
