1
00:00:07,990 --> 00:00:03,189
station this is houston are you ready

2
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,830
we are ready for the event

3
00:00:17,349 --> 00:00:15,669
so good afternoon on the international

4
00:00:19,750 --> 00:00:17,359
space station it's been an interesting

5
00:00:22,150 --> 00:00:19,760
day for us we've been uh flying around

6
00:00:24,550 --> 00:00:22,160
the station collecting our last minute

7
00:00:25,990 --> 00:00:24,560
photos or last minute items and getting

8
00:00:28,390 --> 00:00:26,000
ready to come home so a bit of a

9
00:00:29,509 --> 00:00:28,400
bittersweet moment i think for a day for

10
00:00:30,870 --> 00:00:29,519
all of us

11
00:00:32,310 --> 00:00:30,880
so i

12
00:00:34,630 --> 00:00:32,320
just wanted to say

13
00:00:36,950 --> 00:00:34,640
we all like to say a couple of words but

14
00:00:38,630 --> 00:00:36,960
of course none of this would happen

15
00:00:39,990 --> 00:00:38,640
if it weren't for the incredible

16
00:00:42,069 --> 00:00:40,000
professionals

17
00:00:43,910 --> 00:00:42,079
and human beings around the world that

18
00:00:45,029 --> 00:00:43,920
have made the space station possible not

19
00:00:46,950 --> 00:00:45,039
only in the

20
00:00:49,670 --> 00:00:46,960
audacity of even thinking that this

21
00:00:52,630 --> 00:00:49,680
could happen but then pulling it off

22
00:00:53,430 --> 00:00:52,640
and then on at every day we interact

23
00:00:55,590 --> 00:00:53,440
with

24
00:00:57,430 --> 00:00:55,600
individuals around the world that not

25
00:01:00,630 --> 00:00:57,440
only keep us safe not only keep this

26
00:01:03,510 --> 00:01:00,640
space station running in orbit but also

27
00:01:05,590 --> 00:01:03,520
allow us to help them

28
00:01:07,350 --> 00:01:05,600
finish up the dreams of scientists

29
00:01:09,750 --> 00:01:07,360
around the world producing scientific

30
00:01:10,870 --> 00:01:09,760
data that will improve human lives for

31
00:01:13,109 --> 00:01:10,880
the better

32
00:01:14,630 --> 00:01:13,119
and so we just like to say a few words

33
00:01:16,630 --> 00:01:14,640
here is we're hopefully going to be

34
00:01:22,550 --> 00:01:16,640
departing the space station here in just

35
00:01:26,710 --> 00:01:24,630
just wanted to say what an honor and a

36
00:01:28,550 --> 00:01:26,720
privilege it's been to live in work

37
00:01:31,429 --> 00:01:28,560
aboard the international space station

38
00:01:32,789 --> 00:01:31,439
with this fantastic crew and also our

39
00:01:35,190 --> 00:01:32,799
crewmates who we served with on

40
00:01:36,069 --> 00:01:35,200
expedition 66 who departed about a month

41
00:01:37,270 --> 00:01:36,079
ago

42
00:01:39,590 --> 00:01:37,280
it's been

43
00:01:41,510 --> 00:01:39,600
a spectacular experience i think really

44
00:01:44,469 --> 00:01:41,520
challenging really developmental but

45
00:01:47,429 --> 00:01:44,479
most of all really beautiful to form

46
00:01:49,510 --> 00:01:47,439
these amazing relationships and also not

47
00:01:51,590 --> 00:01:49,520
just with our crew up here but like tom

48
00:01:53,190 --> 00:01:51,600
said with our crews all around the world

49
00:01:56,149 --> 00:01:53,200
in the flight control rooms who are

50
00:01:58,310 --> 00:01:56,159
there 24 7 making what we do up here

51
00:02:00,069 --> 00:01:58,320
possible

52
00:02:01,830 --> 00:02:00,079
it's just been the honor of a lifetime

53
00:02:03,429 --> 00:02:01,840
to contribute to the legacy of this

54
00:02:05,670 --> 00:02:03,439
incredible vessel that's been up here

55
00:02:07,590 --> 00:02:05,680
for more than 20 years and i think for

56
00:02:09,510 --> 00:02:07,600
all of us it's really hard to

57
00:02:11,430 --> 00:02:09,520
to leave we're really looking forward to

58
00:02:14,070 --> 00:02:11,440
getting back to our families and our

59
00:02:15,190 --> 00:02:14,080
amazing support network on the ground

60
00:02:17,270 --> 00:02:15,200
but

61
00:02:19,830 --> 00:02:17,280
i'm just so excited for you guys to have

62
00:02:22,150 --> 00:02:19,840
a similar experience we've been really

63
00:02:24,470 --> 00:02:22,160
lucky to see the whole full range of

64
00:02:27,589 --> 00:02:24,480
operational and scientific operations up

65
00:02:29,430 --> 00:02:27,599
here and i can't wait to contribute

66
00:02:30,869 --> 00:02:29,440
going forward in all the amazing things

67
00:02:32,470 --> 00:02:30,879
nasa is doing alongside our

68
00:02:35,030 --> 00:02:32,480
international partners with the return

69
00:02:37,350 --> 00:02:35,040
to the moon as part of artemis so

70
00:02:39,270 --> 00:02:37,360
thank you so much to the amazing team

71
00:02:41,910 --> 00:02:39,280
around the world for making this a

72
00:02:44,309 --> 00:02:41,920
possibility and to our leadership for

73
00:02:48,550 --> 00:02:44,319
entrusting us as caretakers of this

74
00:02:52,869 --> 00:02:51,110
and all this echo the thanks you know uh

75
00:02:54,869 --> 00:02:52,879
almost six months ago we came up here on

76
00:02:56,470 --> 00:02:54,879
endurance uh the maiden voyage of a

77
00:02:58,229 --> 00:02:56,480
spacex capsule and it was a great ride

78
00:02:59,830 --> 00:02:58,239
and we're looking forward to riding that

79
00:03:02,470 --> 00:02:59,840
back to earth and to seeing friends and

80
00:03:03,910 --> 00:03:02,480
family and you know it's exciting with

81
00:03:05,750 --> 00:03:03,920
crew 4 here but also a little bit

82
00:03:07,430 --> 00:03:05,760
bittersweet knowing that them being here

83
00:03:09,670 --> 00:03:07,440
means it's time for us to pass the torch

84
00:03:11,750 --> 00:03:09,680
and head back to earth but like kayla

85
00:03:13,430 --> 00:03:11,760
and tom said you know thanks to just

86
00:03:14,550 --> 00:03:13,440
everyone thanks starting with our

87
00:03:16,710 --> 00:03:14,560
families and our friends and our

88
00:03:17,830 --> 00:03:16,720
families who who've not only dealt with

89
00:03:19,830 --> 00:03:17,840
this six months while we're up here but

90
00:03:20,550 --> 00:03:19,840
have dealt with the training and all the

91
00:03:24,309 --> 00:03:20,560
the

92
00:03:25,830 --> 00:03:24,319
control centers literally thousands of

93
00:03:28,149 --> 00:03:25,840
people around the world that on a daily

94
00:03:31,030 --> 00:03:28,159
basis support what we do and make what

95
00:03:32,949 --> 00:03:31,040
we do uh even possible uh the trainers

96
00:03:34,550 --> 00:03:32,959
that uh got us here to begin with and

97
00:03:36,869 --> 00:03:34,560
taught us that even though we continue

98
00:03:39,030 --> 00:03:36,879
to make mistakes on a daily basis but uh

99
00:03:40,949 --> 00:03:39,040
hopefully not critical mistakes um but

100
00:03:42,630 --> 00:03:40,959
uh the traitors that got us here that

101
00:03:44,550 --> 00:03:42,640
made this all possible to the science

102
00:03:46,309 --> 00:03:44,560
teams ultimately that's the reason we're

103
00:03:48,229 --> 00:03:46,319
here is to do science and so i think

104
00:03:49,509 --> 00:03:48,239
that's uh for me and for all of us

105
00:03:51,430 --> 00:03:49,519
really the most exciting thing about

106
00:03:52,789 --> 00:03:51,440
being a part of such such amazing

107
00:03:54,149 --> 00:03:52,799
achievements and we look forward to

108
00:03:56,070 --> 00:03:54,159
seeing the papers that are published to

109
00:03:58,070 --> 00:03:56,080
the the research that leads to you know

110
00:04:00,229 --> 00:03:58,080
new technologies and and saves lives and

111
00:04:01,589 --> 00:04:00,239
that's the the really exciting thing i'm

112
00:04:07,270 --> 00:04:01,599
just honored and humbled to have been a

113
00:04:11,190 --> 00:04:09,110
so i also can only echo what my dear

114
00:04:13,110 --> 00:04:11,200
crewmates have said it's been

115
00:04:15,110 --> 00:04:13,120
like six outstanding months up here in

116
00:04:17,749 --> 00:04:15,120
the space station thanks to my crewmates

117
00:04:19,990 --> 00:04:17,759
it's been so beautiful thanks to all the

118
00:04:22,150 --> 00:04:20,000
people on the ground that supported us

119
00:04:23,749 --> 00:04:22,160
the international partners all the

120
00:04:26,310 --> 00:04:23,759
the mission control centers around the

121
00:04:28,150 --> 00:04:26,320
globe but also like in europe the

122
00:04:29,189 --> 00:04:28,160
european space agency the german space

123
00:04:31,909 --> 00:04:29,199
agency

124
00:04:34,390 --> 00:04:31,919
who prepared a large part of the science

125
00:04:36,710 --> 00:04:34,400
complement that i was able to execute up

126
00:04:39,590 --> 00:04:36,720
here and also who trained me and made it

127
00:04:40,710 --> 00:04:39,600
possible that i'm here today

128
00:04:43,110 --> 00:04:40,720
it's

129
00:04:49,189 --> 00:04:43,120
the end of a six months mission but i

130
00:04:53,990 --> 00:04:52,070
so now is the time to hand over command

131
00:04:56,550 --> 00:04:54,000
of the space station

132
00:04:58,870 --> 00:04:56,560
and just a couple of words about what it

133
00:05:00,710 --> 00:04:58,880
has meant to us to uh it's more whereas

134
00:05:02,950 --> 00:05:00,720
what is meant to us to be here you know

135
00:05:05,110 --> 00:05:02,960
100 years from now uh

136
00:05:06,710 --> 00:05:05,120
we'll be looking back on the space

137
00:05:07,430 --> 00:05:06,720
station the international space station

138
00:05:10,310 --> 00:05:07,440
as

139
00:05:13,749 --> 00:05:10,320
certainly uh an incredible engineering

140
00:05:15,590 --> 00:05:13,759
accomplishment certainly as a way

141
00:05:16,550 --> 00:05:15,600
that uh countries all around the world

142
00:05:18,070 --> 00:05:16,560
have been able to raise their

143
00:05:19,830 --> 00:05:18,080
technological base

144
00:05:22,310 --> 00:05:19,840
and have been able to produce scientific

145
00:05:23,430 --> 00:05:22,320
results as we've said to save lives and

146
00:05:25,110 --> 00:05:23,440
to

147
00:05:27,110 --> 00:05:25,120
improve human life

148
00:05:28,310 --> 00:05:27,120
uh and being here a part of it another

149
00:05:30,310 --> 00:05:28,320
point in our

150
00:05:31,670 --> 00:05:30,320
being a part of history here has been

151
00:05:33,909 --> 00:05:31,680
the arrival of the first private

152
00:05:36,070 --> 00:05:33,919
astronaut mission so that

153
00:05:38,790 --> 00:05:36,080
space will become open and is beginning

154
00:05:40,950 --> 00:05:38,800
to be open for everyone so the

155
00:05:42,390 --> 00:05:40,960
commercial crew program has

156
00:05:44,070 --> 00:05:42,400
been a very much a part of our lives

157
00:05:45,670 --> 00:05:44,080
here as well

158
00:05:47,990 --> 00:05:45,680
but i think the

159
00:05:50,070 --> 00:05:48,000
lasting legacy of the space station is

160
00:05:53,350 --> 00:05:50,080
very likely to be international

161
00:05:54,629 --> 00:05:53,360
cooperation and a place of peace

162
00:05:57,029 --> 00:05:54,639
so

163
00:05:58,469 --> 00:05:57,039
aleg you're a very strong and

164
00:06:00,950 --> 00:05:58,479
experienced

165
00:06:02,710 --> 00:06:00,960
cosmonaut astronaut i know we'll be

166
00:06:04,309 --> 00:06:02,720
leaving the space station in good hands

167
00:06:19,270 --> 00:06:04,319
with you

168
00:06:24,629 --> 00:06:21,510
and i relinquish control of the command

169
00:06:26,550 --> 00:06:24,639
of the space station to you

170
00:06:31,590 --> 00:06:26,560
i accept command

171
00:06:34,710 --> 00:06:31,600
thank you for friendship

172
00:06:43,029 --> 00:06:34,720
it was

173
00:06:49,749 --> 00:06:45,350
short period very short

174
00:06:52,629 --> 00:06:49,759
45 minutes 47 days maybe no now

175
00:06:55,670 --> 00:06:52,639
brothers sister

176
00:06:58,950 --> 00:06:57,510
i think you know

177
00:07:00,870 --> 00:06:58,960
what

178
00:07:06,230 --> 00:07:00,880
more

179
00:07:07,029 --> 00:07:06,240

first family

182
00:07:14,830 --> 00:07:13,589
peace between our countries

183
00:07:19,740 --> 00:07:14,840
our

184
