Haley Esparza(@haleykesparza):Heading home after an incredible Crew-12 launch. I’ve supported 19 crews traveling to the ISS over the last 6 years (if my sleep deprived math is correct), and I can honestly say, it never becomes routine. I still get nervous, I still get paranoid. And I still feel it deep in my soul when they say goodbye to their families. Human spaceflight is an incredible thing. Thank you to everyone who lets me be a part of it.
