“A crew is a group that is in it all the time, no matter what, that is stroking together every minute with the same purpose, that is willing to sacrifice silently for each other, that gives grace, that holds accountable.”

“A crew has the same cares and the same needs, and a crew is inescapably, beautifully, dutifully linked.”

-Christina Koch
