FORMER PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP ARRANGED IN A MANHATTAN
COURT ROOM.
HOW HE IS REACTING TO THE CRIMINAL CHARGES.
WE HAVE SEEN HIS CAMPAIGN SENDING OUT EMAILS ASKING FOR
DONATIONS, SELLING INDICTMENT SWAG.
ON APRIL 4, 2023, DONALD TRUMP MADE HISTORY.
AND TO CELEBRATE THIS ACHIEVEMENT, WE ARE PROUD TO
INTRODUCE THE TRUMP INDICTMENT COMMEMORATIVE COIN, EMBLAZONED
WITH AN IMAGE OF A FORMER PRESIDENT BITCHING ABOUT HIS
INDICTMENT.
AND ON THE BACK, AN ARTIST'S RENDERING OF HIS PENIS.
THIS BRILLIANT GOLD-PAINTED COIN IS CREATED USING A POKER CHIP
FROM ONE OF HIS FAILED CASINOS.
SMALL ENOUGH TO BE SMUGGLED INTO PRISON IN ANY BODY CAVITY, THIS
COIN IS ALSO PERFECT TO DISPLAY ON A DESK OR TO DELIGHT A SIMPLE
CHILD.
THE TRUMP INDICTMENT COMMEMORATIVE COIN.
ACT TODAY.
OR DON'T.
THERE ARE PLENTY MORE INDICTMENTS COMING.
Announcer: IT'S "THE LATE SHOW
WITH STEPHEN COLBERT."
TONIGHT...
MAR-ILLEGAL FIRST, STEPHEN WELCOMES
THE CREW OF ARTEMIS II AND JODIE COMER
FEATURING LOUIS CATO AND "THE LATE SHOW" BAND.
AND NOW, LIVE ON TAPE FROM THE ED SULLIVAN THEATER
IN NEW YORK CITY, IT'S STEPHEN COLBERT!
Stephen: ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED?
HELLO, MY FRIENDS.
YOU ARE MY FRIENDS.
♪ ♪ LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, WELCOME TO
THE LATE SHOW.
I'M YOUR HOST, STEPHEN COLBERT.
I JUST WANT TO START OFF TONI TONIGHT.
TO ALL MY JEWISH VIEWERS, HAPPY PASSOVER!
IT COMMEMORATES THE CAPTIVE ISRAELITES ESCAPING THE
OPPRESSION OF THE PHARAOH AFTER GOD SENT 10 PLAGUES.
IF YOU ARE NOT JEWISH, YOU MAY KNOW IT AS GOING TO THE
GROCERY STORE AND SUDDENLY SEEING A DISPLAY
OF HUGE, FLAVORLESS SALTINES.
JUST WANTED YOU TO KNOW THERE'S MORE TO THE STORY.
YESTERDAY, NEW YORK CITY CELEBRATED THE PASSING OF
ITS OWN PLAGUE, THE FORMER PRESIDENT.
[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] OH, YOU HEARD?
HE STOPPED BY THE CITY TO GET ARRESTED FOR 34 FELONY COUNTS
OF BUSINESS FRAUD.
AND YOU KNOW WHAT?
I'M NOT SURE IF THAT'S FAIR.
BUSINESS FRAUD IS KIND OF HIS BRAND.
AND AFTER HIS ARRAIGNMENT, HE HAULED HIS ASS TO LAGUARDIA,
GOT ON HIS PRIVATE JET, FLEW TO MARA-LAGO, WHERE HE HELD AN
ANGRY RALLY FOR ALL HIS CULT MEMBERS.
THAT EVENT BEGAN WITH A WEIRD PROCESSION DOWN
THE CENTER AISLE.
HERE COMES DON JR. AND KIMBERLY GUILFOYLE,
THERE'S TIFFANY, FOLLOWED BY MATT GAETZ AND THEN
A WAVING MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE.
THEY LOOK LIKE THE PROM COURT IF THE THEME WAS
"ENCHANTMENT UNDER ARREST."
THEN.
UNDER INDICTMENT?
UNDER ARREST.
NEXT CAME PILLOW MAN MIKE LINDELL WHO SEEMS TO HAVE
LOST HIS DATE.
"WHERE'S MY PILLOW?
MARCO!
PILLOW!" THEN IT WAS TIME FOR THE FORMER
PRESIDENT TO TAKE THE STAGE AND INSPIRE A NATION WITH
A SIX-MINUTE LIST OF UNRESOLVED GRIEVANCES.
WELL, COME ON, WHAT DO YOU EXPECT?
YOU'RE LISTENING TO A 76-YEAR-OLD MAN IN FLORIDA.
"WELL, NICE OF YOU TO SHOW UP.
I WONDERED IF YOU FORGOT I WAS ALIVE.
MAYBE YOU'D NOTICE ME IF I WAS YOUR CELL PHONE.
ANYWAY, IT'S COLD IN HERE, THE COOKIES ARE STALE,
AND I NEVER LOVED YOU AS MUCH AS YOUR BROTHER."
SOME OF HIS GRIEVANCES GOT PERSONAL.
THIS IS WHERE WE ARE RIGHT NOW.
I HAVE A TRUMP-HATING JUDGE WITH A TRUMP-HATING WIFE.
Stephen: WELL, THERE'S ONE THING YOU AND THE JUDGE
HAVE IN COMMON.
THANK YOU.
THEN, ONE BY ONE, HE ADDRESSED ALL THE CRIMES HE SO FAMOUSLY
HASN'T COMMITTED, STARTING WITH THE ONE IN GEORGIA.
IN THE WINGS, THEY HAVE GOT A LOCAL, RACIST DEMOCRAT DISTRICT
ATTORNEY IN ATLANTA WHO IS DOING EVERYTHING IN HER POWER TO
INDICT ME OVER AN ABSOLUTELY PERFECT PHONE CALL, EVEN MORE
PERFECT THAN THE ONE I MADE WITH THE PRESENT OF UKRAIN.
REMEMBER I KEPT SAYING, THAT'S A PERFECT CALL.
THIS ONE WAS MORE PERFECT.
Stephen: I'M NOT SURE THAT'S SUPPOSED TO BE A LAUGH LINE.
"SIR, HOW DO YOU PLEAD?" "NOT GUILTY."
HA, HA, HA, HA, HA.
THEN, HE MOVED ON TO THE CLASSIFIED DOCUMENTS CASE.
IF YOU HAVE A RADICAL LEFT LUNATIC WHO IS A BOMB THROWER
WHO WAS ARRESTING HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE DAY AFTER DAY
OVER THE BOXES HOAX.
YOU KNOW, THE BOXES HOAX, AS WE CALL IT.
Stephen: YOU'RE AT MAR-A-LAGO, EVERYONE KNOWS ABOUT
THE BOXES!
I'M PRETTY SURE, DURING THE SPEECH,
THEY USED THEM AS CENTERPIECES.
SO HERE'S-- IT'S ALL JUST YESTERDAY?
IT ALL JUST HAPPENED YESTERDAY?
SO HE WAS ARRESTED AND RELEASED, AND WE NEVER GOT A MUG SHOT.
BUT THAT DIDN'T STOP THE EX-PRESIDENT'S CAMPAIGN FROM
MAKING ONE UP AND SELLING IT ON A T-SHIRT THAT SAYS
"NOT GUILTY."
OKAY, BUT IF HE'S NOT GUILTY, WHY DID YOU PUT HIM
IN A MUGSHOT?
JUST SELL A POSTER THAT SAYS "WANTED!
FOR FOLLOWING TOO MANY LAWS."
THE EX-PRESIDENT ISN'T CASH GRABBING ALONE.
HE'S GOT HELP FROM SOUTH CAROLINA SENATOR AND
GROWN-UP CAMPBELL SOUP KID, LINDSEY GRAHAM.
LINDSEY WENT ON THE FOX NEWS TO MAKE A DIGNIFIED PITCH
TO MAGA VOTERS.
I'M SORRY I'M SO UPSET BUT PLEASE HELP PRESIDENT TRUMP.
IF YOU CAN AFFORD FIVE OR TEN BUCKS, IF YOU CAN'T AFFORD A
DOLLAR, FINE, JUST PRAY.
PRAY FOR THIS COUNTRY, PRAY FOR THIS PRESIDENT.
AND IF YOU'VE GOT ANY MONEY TO GIVE, GIVE IT.
LindseyGraham.com.
IT DOESN'T GO TO ME IT GOES TO HELPING THIS PRESIDENT AND
TAKING BACK THE SENATE.
Stephen: IT DOESN'T GO TO ME, HE GOES TO THE BILLIONAIRE
WITH T THE GOLDEN TOILET AND PRIVATE PLANE.
'COURSE, IF YA WANNA KICK OL' LINDSEY A DIME OR TWO,
LORD KNOWS I COULD USE IT.
I GAVE MY LAST DOLLAR TO THE PRESIDENT AND NOW I CAN'T AFFORD
MY FOOD OR MEDICINE.
HAD TO SWAP OUT MY PRESCRIPTIONS FOR SOME PILLS I STOLE
FROM A VET'S OFFICE, AND NOW I HAVE FELINE LEUKEMIA!
AMEN!" GOTTA DRIVE IT.
DRIVE THE TRAIN.
GRAHAM ISN'T THE ONLY SAD LONELY BOY TRYING TO GET DADDY
TO LOVE HIM.
SO IS THE EX-PRESIDENT'S LEAST SON ERIC, SEEN HERE
WONDERING WHERE SANTA GOES IN THE SUMMERTIME.
ERIC MUST HAVE HEARD THAT THE MAGA CROWDS IN NEW YORK
WERE PRETTY THIN.
BECAUSE WHILE HIS DAD WAS IN COURT, ERIC TWEETED
THIS AI-GENERATED IMAGE OF THE EX-PRESIDENT BEING FOLLOWED
BY A MASSIVE CROWD THROUGH THE NEW YORK CITY STREETS.
WOW, IT LOOKS LIKE ROCKY, IF YOU WERE ROOTING
FOR THE SIDE OF BEEF.
NOW, YOU CAN TELL RIGHT AWAY THAT THIS IS A.I.
FIRST, BECAUSE THERE'S NO WAY HE WOULD WALK.
BUT MOSTLY BECAUSE THE SUPPORTERS' FACES
ARE TOTAL MIXUP MUSH.
CHECK OUT THE TWO SECRET SERVICE GUYS,
DRIED APRICOT AND CAPTAIN EGG.
THEN THERE'S THE FISHER PRICE BUSINESS LOG,
AND OF COURSE KELLYANNE CONWAY.
SHE LOOKS REALLY GOOD.
THERE'S HUGE NEWS FROM NASA.
THEY'VE NAMED THE CREW FOR FIRST HUMAN MOON
MISSION SINCE APOLLO!
THERE THEY ARE!
PUT THAT PHOTO BACK UP.
NOT THE ORANGE JUMPSUIT I WAS HOPING TO SEE THIS WEEK,

THIS IS AN HISTORIC CREW, CONSISTING OF THREE AMERICANS

ARTEMIS 1 WENT OUT UNMANNED.
YOU ARE GOING TO BE THE FIRST CREWED MISSION.
FOR THE PEOPLE WHO DON'T NECESSARILY BELIEVE IN THE FINAL
FRONTIER, COMMANDER REID, WIRY GOING BACK TO THE MOON?
BECAUSE WE WANT TO SEE HUMANS ON MARS.
Stephen: HOW DOES THAT HELP?
WAY BEEN LIVING AND WORKING ON THE INTERNATIONAL SPACE
STATION FOR THE LAST 24 YEARS.
YOU KNOW IT WELL.
YOU LOVE IT.
YOU HAVE THE-- TO LEARN HOW TO WORK AROUND THE
MOON, DEEP SPACE, LEARN HOW TO WORK ON ANOTHER CELESTIAL BODY.
ONCE WE HAVE THAT NAIL DOWN, THEN WE ARE GOING TO MARS.
Stephen: WHAT ABOUT THE RESOURCES WE NEED TO GET FROM
THE MOON TO MARS?
THERE'S A LOT OF DIFFERENT OPPORTUNITIES BUT WE ARE ALMOST
POSITIVE THERE'S ICE ON THE MOON IN SOME OF THESE SHADOWED
REGIONS OF THE GRADERS.
Stephen: THE SOUTH POLE IS SUPPOSED TO, LIKE THE SIZE OF
PUERTO RICO.
BIG.
CAN SOMEBODY FACT-CHECK THAT.
I DON'T KNOW ABOUT THAT.
Stephen: SOME FRACTION OF PUERTO RICO.
THAT'S WHY WANT TO GO THERE ON THE NEXT MISSION.
WE WANT TO GO.
NOT THE FOUR OF US BUT OUR COLLEAGUES WILL GO TO THE SOUTH
POLE OF THE MOON TO LOOK FOR THE SIZE, THIS WATER AND POTENTIAL
USE THAT TO GET TO MARS.

FIRST CANADIAN, FIRST WOMAN, FIRST PERSON OF COLOR ON THE
LUNAR MISSION.

PEOPLE IN THE EARLIER SPACE MISSIONS, THE EARLIER PROGRAMS
THAT ARE HEROES OF YOURS.
LET START WITH YOU, CHRISTINA.
WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO YOU NOW THAT YOU ARE THAT FOR OTHER
YOUNG PEOPLE COMING UP?
Christina: IT'S AN AMAZING FEELING, HONESTLY.
I THINK THE REAL THING TO CELEBRATE ABOUT THIS MISSION IS
THAT WE'VE MADE A DECISION AS AN AGENCY, AS A COUNTRY THAT WE ARE
GOING TO GO FOR ALL AND BY ALL, IF WE ARE NOT TAKING
CONVOLUTIONS FOR EVERY SINGLE PERSON WITH THE TALENT READY TO
SHARE IT THAT WE ARE NOT TRULY ANSWERING COMMUNITY'S CALL TO
EXPLORE SO THE FACT WE ARE GOING IN THIS ERA IS WHAT MAKES THE
MOST EXCITED AND THE FACT THAT I MIGHT BE ABLE TO INSPIRE THOSE
PEOPLE ARE PAVED THE PATH FOR ME, THAT'S JUST AMAZING ICING ON
THE CAKE.
[APPLAUSE] Stephen: JEREMY, THE
ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM.
YOU ARE CANADIAN.
THAT'S NOT WHY WE MADE YOU SIT AT THE END.
YOU'RE JUST THE BIGGEST GUY.
HOW DID YOU END UP AT NASA?
Jeremy: THERE'S A COUPLE REASONS, WHICHEVER ONE YOU LIKE.
IF SOMETHING GOES WRONG ON THIS MISSION, THEN NASA CAN BLAME
CANADA.
Stephen: CANADA WILL JUST SAY SORRY.
Jeremy: WE ARE ALL COVERED, GREAT INSURANCE POLICY.
THE REAL REASON AND I'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT IT A LOT THIS WEEK
SINCE THE ANNOUNCEMENT BUT IT'S GREAT AMERICAN LEADERSHIP.
IT'S NOT LOST ON ANYONE IN CANADA THAT IF THE UNITED STATES
WANTED TO GO TO THE MOON AGAIN, THEY DON'T NEED CANADA TO DO IT.
HE WAS A DELIBERATE DECISION BECAUSE THEY ARE THINKING BIG
AND THEY WANT TO CREATE A GLOBAL PARTNERSHIP.
IT'S TREMENDOUS LEADERSHIP ON THE PART OF AMERICA.
CANADA REALLY APPRECIATES IT.
WE HAVE A LOT OF GENIUS TO BRING TO THE COLLABORATION.
PILOT.
LET'S TALK, VICTOR, YOU'RE THE PILOT.
50 YEARS SINCE WE HAVE BEEN TO THE MOON.
WHAT KIND OF UPGRADE HAS THE TECH GOT?
DOES THE NEW CAPSULE HAVE BLUETOOTH?
CAN YOU DO APPLE CAR PLAY?
Victor: HOW LONG DO WE HAVE?
A COUPLE OF BIG THINGS, MANUFACTURING TECHNOLOGY.
YOU CAN MAKE THINGS FASTER AND A LITTLE MORE ROBUST AND YOU CAN
PUT A LOT MORE COMPUTING POWER IN A SMALL SPACE.
THAT'S A BIG ONE.
THE CAPSULE LOOKS LIKE THE APOLLO AIR CAPSULES.
THERE'S JUST A WHOLE LOT MORE HORSEPOWER.
Stephen: YOU HAVE AN APPLE WATCH.
THAT HAS MORE COMPUTING POWER THAN THE COMPUTERS THEY WERE
USING TO PUT PEOPLE ON THE MOON BACK IN THE LATE '60s AND
EARLY '70s.
Victor: AND WE STILL DID IT.
ISN'T THAT AMAZING?
Stephen: YES.
SLIDE RULES.
CHRISTINA, OF ALL THE PEOPLE HERE, YOU HAVE BEEN IN SPACE THE
LONGEST.
328 DAYS.
[APPLAUSE] WHAT WERE YOU TRYING TO GET AWAY
FROM?
Christina: [LAUGHS] I AM WORRIED SOMEONE WAS TRYING
TO GET AWAY FROM ME.
Stephen: WHAT DO YOU DO FOR FUN?
I KNOW IT WASN'T ALWAYS, IT WASN'T IN ONE POP WHAT YOU'RE UP
THERE FOR A LONG PERIOD OF TIME, WHAT'S A FUN THING TO DO.
Christina: WEEK, DAYS WE WORK HARD.
BUT ON THE WEEKENDS WE HAVE A GOOD TIME.
SPENDING TIME WITH YOUR CREWMATES.
OUR FAVORITE THING TO DO IS GET TOGETHER FOR DINNER AND PUT ON
SOME KARAOKE AND SING.
AS LONG AS WE HAVE THE CONNECTION TO THE INTERNET.
Stephen: OH, MY GOD.
IN SPACE, EVERYONE CAN HEAR YOU SING.
Christina: IT'S TERRIBLE.
Stephen: CAN YOU GET A HOT CUP OF COFFEE?
Christina: DEFINITELY.
IT'S GOING TO BE IN A POUCH.
Stephen: A HOT BAG OF COFFEE.
AT THIS POINT YOU COULD DESCRIBE ME AS THAT.
I 58, I'M JUST A HOT BAG OF COFFEE AT THIS POINT.
JEREMY, THIS IS YOUR FIRST SPACE TRIP.
DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR THESE GUYS?
NOT FOR ME, THESE GUYS.
THINGS THEY DON'T TEACH YOU AN ASTRONAUT SCHOOL?
Christina: THERE'S DEFINITELY A FEW.
THERE'S A QUESTION WE ALL HAVE, THE FIRST HUMANS TO RIDE ON THIS
ENORMOUS ROCKET AND THE WHOLE WAY UP, WILL BE LIKE, IS THIS
NORMAL?
IS THAT NORMAL?
Stephen: WHAT DOES THAT SOUND?
Jeremy: THESE GUYS AREN'T GOING TO BE ABLE TO HELP ME WITH
THAT.
THE SECRET HANDSHAKE ASTRONAUTS PASSED OUT.
NOBODY ON THE GROUND CAN TRAIN IT, MANAGING ALL THE BODILY
FUNCTIONS.
YOU GET THAT WRONG IN SPACE AND YOU DON'T HAVE ANY MORE FRIENDS
ON BOARD.
Stephen: THAT'S TRUE.
THAT'S TRUE.
Jeremy: I DON'T THINK WE CAN GET INTO IT HERE.
Stephen: NO, THERE IS GRAVITY.
IT WOULD BE VERY HARD.
THAT IS HARROWING.
WHAT ABOUT SHOWERING?
HOW DO YOU SHOWER?
YOU DON'T?
Christina: NOT REALLY RUNNING WATER.
Stephen: HOW LONG IS THE ACTUAL JOURNEY GOING TO BE?
TEN DAYS.
SAME CLOTHES.
Christina: PROBABLY.
Stephen: ARE YOU ALLOWED TO BRING DEODORANT?
NO.
YOU HAVE TO HAVE AN ALCOHOL FREE DEODORANT.
THERE ARE CERTAIN DEODORANTS THAT YOU CAN WEAR, THE
ENVIRONMENTAL CONTROL SYSTEMS, YOU HAVE TO BE VERY PARTICULAR
WHAT YOU'RE WEARING.
Stephen: OF COURSE.
WHO IS GOING TO STIR THE OXYGEN TANKS?
CANADA.
Stephen: IS REALLY GOING TO BE YOU?
I'VE BEEN ASKED TO THROW ONE SWITCH WHEN I'M UP THERE, THAT
MIGHT BE AT.
IF YOUR LIGHTS BACKSTAGE DON'T WORK, IT IS JEREMY'S FAU
FAULT.
[LAUGHTER] Stephen: LET'S SEE HOW MUCH
YOU'RE LAUGHING ON DAY FIVE.
[LAUGHTER] [APPLAUSE]
WE HAVE TO TAKE A QUICK BREAK BUT DON'T GO ANYWHERE.
WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK WITH MORE OF THE CREW OF ARTEMIS II,
WE ARE BACK WITH THE CREW OF ARTEMIS II.
HOW FAST ARE YOU GOING IN YOUR TOP SPEED?
IT'S INTERESTING MEASURING SPEED IN SPACE.
WE USE AIR DENSITY.
WHEN WE ENTER THE ATMOSPHERE WE WILL BE GOING ABOUT MARK 25, 26.
25,000 MILES PER HOUR.
7 MILES A SECOND.
Stephen: WOW.
HOW MANY Gs WILL YOU PULL?
WE SHOULD BE AROUND EIGHT TO TEN AT THE MOST.
FOR THE MOST PART WE WILL BE AROUND FOUR TO FIVE, WE SHOULD
BE PRETTY COMFORTABLE.
Stephen: I PULLED 9Gs WITH THE THUNDERBIRDS AND IT SET
IN HUMAN FEELING.
HOW LONG DO YOU HAVE TO HOLD THAT?
REENTRY COULD BE A LITTLE WHILE.
WE ARE GOING TO BE KIND OF LYING IN A SEAT.
NOT FIGHTER PILOT G.
THIS IS KIND OF COMING THROUGH US.
IT'S HARD TO BREATHE AND YOUR EYES KIND OF FLATTENED DOWN SO
TEARS START COMING OUT THE BACK OF YOUR EYES A LITTLE BIT.
Stephen: IT'S PERFECTLY FINE IF YOU DON'T WANT TO
BREATHE OR HAVE EYEBALLS.
OTHER THAN THAT, IT'S PERFECTLY FINE.
Christina: YOU WON'T BE PASSED OUT FOR ANY OF IT.
VICTOR JUST HIT ME.
I FORGOT JEREMY'S HERE.
Stephen: THEY ARE JUST JOSHING, JEREMY.
CHRISTINA, I CAN'T IMAGINE THE BEAUTY OF THE EARTH.
THIS IS A SHOT FROM THE INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION.
I LIKE TO WATCH THE LIVE HD CAMERAS.
THEY SOOTHE ME.
I KEEP UP ON MY COMPUTER SCREEN.
EXPLAIN WHAT THE OVERVIEW EFFECT IS.
Christina: IT IS ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS.
THE OVERVIEW EFFECT IS WHEN YOU'RE LOOKING THROUGH THE
CUPOLA, IT IS LIKE THE BAY WINDOW LOOKING DOWN ON THE EARTH
AND YOU SEE THE EARTH AS IT EXISTS WITH THE WHOLE UNIVERSE
IN THE BACKGROUND, YOU SEE THE THIN BLUE LINE OF THE ATMOSPHERE
AND THEN WHEN YOU'RE ON THE DARK SIDE OF THE EARTH YOU ACTUALLY
FEEL IS VERY THIN GREEN LINE THAT SHOWS YOU WHERE THE
ATMOSPHERE IS PURE WHAT YOU REALIZES EVERYTHING EVERYTHING A
PERSON THAT YOU KNOW IS SUSTAINED AND INSIDE OF THAT
GREENLINE.
EVERYTHING ELSE OUTSIDE OF IT IS COMPLETELY INHOSPITABLE.
YOU DON'T SEE BORDERS.
YOU DON'T SEE RELIGIOUS LINES.
POLITICAL BOUNDARIES.
ALL YOU SEE IS EARTH AND YOU SEE THAT WE ARE WAY MORE ALIKE THAN
WE ARE DIFFERENT.
[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] Stephen: WHEN IS THE
LAUNCH?
DO WE KNOW YET?
WHEN IS THE EXPECTED LAUNCH DATE?
WE ARE HOPING END OF NEXT YEAR.
AS THE CREW, WE ARE NEVER GOING TO PUT A DATE ON IT.
WE ARE GOING TO FLY WHEN THE CREW IS READY AND NASA IS READY.
