 My story is likely quite atypical. I knew in 10th grade that I wanted to be a near shore oceanographer. What has driven me is understanding how nature works. And that's why humanity, not one agency, not one country, not one continent, but why humanity has been monitoring global sea level from space with exquisite accuracy for more than 28 years. It's a world-renowned ocean scientist who, after a successful career in academia, came to NASA and for a dozen years, Dr. Mike Freilich led all of Earth's science. And he's really brought NASA back on the international stage. And this is not all. You also change the discipline of Earth's science in a profound way, combining science and technology to understand our beautiful planet. Mike Freilich's legacy is being able to build the coalitions that are necessary for us to get as much understanding of our planet as possible. There is not another person more deserving of this honor than Mike Freilich. I'm very pleased to rename Central 6A in the future to be called Central 6 Michael Freilich. You know, when I first found out that Mike had cancer, I want him to know that all the work he's done is extremely meaningful. I am much better because of what I learned from him and because I had the opportunity to work with him. Mike is a leader to all of us and a mentor and a person who has really advanced Earth's science for the entire world. He was absolutely committed to dispassionately following the science. He had high standards for himself and everyone around him. We're able to raise the bar of what we can expect from ourselves, from our partners and from our larger global community. Mike had a very big, very full red pen. Everybody was always afraid of that red pen. His pretty intense energy, one of the characteristics was the bouncing knee, which you'd never missed and it was always there. You could kind of gauge the way the medium is going by the pace of the bounce. I have a lot of hilarious emails on my smartphone, exchange with Mike, which I keep as a treasure. It is a no-brainer that we all came together and that they were able to really value out and allow the renaming of Sentinel-6A after Mike. Earth's system science is bigger than any particular agency. It's bigger than any single nation. It's bigger than any single continent. And I surely hope, because humanity requires it, that we make some significant progress in understanding. You did good, Dr. Freilich, for all of us. And for that, we're all very grateful.
