"I come from a time when systems were not entrusted to AI, a time of space pinoeers and great know-how". This is what you are: the oldest and most experienced astronaut in your spaceship, in all America, and probably amongst all of the people involved in the Hope mission. When journalists, during the press conference, argued you may have been too old for this mission, this is what the Director of NASA replied: "If you want a job well done, ask Engineer Stewart".
The Fat Lady is on a mission to save the world, but also to restore the prestige of our ambitious and powerful nation. We’ve been the first ones on the Moon, the first ones on Mars, we’ll be the first ones on the Sun, too. And our shadow will obscure those perverted communist ideologies once and for all.
Scientists dream of achieving big things: Engineers build them. The AI can acquire data, make calculations, and do predictive analysis, but only those who know the spaceship bolt by bolt can be systems Engineers. They know the sensibility, perceive the labored breathing of the spaceship even before the alarms go off.
