NASA Astronaut & Spaceflight Veteran Jessica Watkins on Teamwork
"In order to be successful as a rugby team, it really requires that everybody comes to the table and relies on each other. Success is not possible without having people really of all different sizes and strengths and skill sets really working together."
"And I think that type of teamwork is really applicable to human spaceflight. Human spaceflight is a team sport as well. And we have so many people with different experiences and expertise that they bring to the table that really allows us to do this hard thing, accomplish this goal of human spaceflight as a concept, but even on an individual everyday basis. Operating the International Space Station requires an entire team of people all coming together with one goal in pursuit of that one mission."
— Jessica Watkins, Astronaut, NASA's Johnson Space Center
Jessica Watkins served as a mission specialist on Expeditions 67 and 68 aboard the International Space Station as part of SpaceX Crew-4.
