I was pretty depressed, ... But we had a couple cups of coffee and thought about it and got up the next day and life was normal again.

I think the biggest issue for NASA and for the Russian Space Agency and other folks... (is) everybody has to accept some cultural change to make this happen. It's probably the biggest problem in front of us and it's probably one of the hardest things we have got to go work on.

We were technically ready to come home, but we're still going through a lot of details.

The first expedition on the space station requests permission to take the radio call sign Alpha.

On behalf of the crew on Alpha, I'd like to commend Endeavour and its crew for the tremendous technical challenge and the great achievements ... I can't think of a mission that we've flown in a long time that's been a bigger challenge.

I did miss having a shower, particularly to clean my hair up. But otherwise what we did onboard was certainly very workable.

Sail her well, ... I am ready to be relieved.

It's good for us. We're happy to stay one more day.

We have made Alpha come alive.
