to to fly with to train with

142
00:05:47,830 --> 00:05:45,280
first backing up

143
00:05:51,270 --> 00:05:47,840
expedition 19 and 20

144
00:05:53,830 --> 00:05:51,280
and then prime 2122 before we launched

145
00:05:56,550 --> 00:05:53,840
every time we got asked or i got asked

146
00:05:59,510 --> 00:05:56,560
about you i said you were like a veteran

147
00:06:01,830 --> 00:05:59,520
already and that i meant that then and

148
00:06:03,749 --> 00:06:01,840
you demonstrated it since then

149
00:06:07,430 --> 00:06:03,759
you uh and it means right now i'm

150
00:06:10,790 --> 00:06:09,430
now you you are prepared for another

151
00:06:12,950 --> 00:06:10,800
flight

152
00:06:14,790 --> 00:06:12,960
but first don't think about that but

153
00:06:17,909 --> 00:06:14,800
first we'll go home and join our

154
00:06:19,270 --> 00:06:17,919
families and uh take uh take the break

155
00:06:21,909 --> 00:06:19,280
that uh

156
00:06:24,230 --> 00:06:21,919
that is deserving of our family speaking

157
00:06:27,510 --> 00:06:24,240
of our families uh

158
00:06:29,270 --> 00:06:27,520
they're the ones that are often

159
00:06:31,029 --> 00:06:29,280
sometimes not thought of

160
00:06:32,550 --> 00:06:31,039
by everybody but they're also the ones

161
00:06:35,270 --> 00:06:32,560
that probably make the greatest

162
00:06:38,309 --> 00:06:35,280
sacrifices in all of this and and all of

163
00:06:40,230 --> 00:06:38,319
us here have a family behind us that's

164
00:06:41,990 --> 00:06:40,240
especially important to us

165
00:06:44,390 --> 00:06:42,000
so i would like on behalf of the entire

166
00:06:46,469 --> 00:06:44,400
crew to thank the families and the

167
00:06:47,830 --> 00:06:46,479
support and sacrifices that they have

168
00:06:50,790 --> 00:06:47,840
made

169
00:06:54,469 --> 00:06:50,800
in that now i have one other small

170
00:06:56,790 --> 00:06:54,479
presentation it's a nasa tradition

171
00:06:59,029 --> 00:06:56,800
that um

172
00:07:01,670 --> 00:06:59,039
when you fly long duration flights they

173
00:07:04,150 --> 00:07:01,680
have a 100 day patch they call it even

174
00:07:06,870 --> 00:07:04,160
though everybody flies longer than 100

175
00:07:09,350 --> 00:07:06,880
days it's the equivalent of the mach 25

176
00:07:11,830 --> 00:07:09,360
patch that the space shuttle crews earn

177
00:07:14,309 --> 00:07:11,840
when they when they fly and

178
00:07:17,909 --> 00:07:14,319
but even though it's a nasa thing i want

179
00:07:20,870 --> 00:07:17,919
to give it to uh to suici here um so

180
00:07:23,110 --> 00:07:20,880
there's the the 100 day patch for suici

181
00:07:25,029 --> 00:07:23,120
and uh very well deserved and max i

182
00:07:26,790 --> 00:07:25,039
would also like to present one to you

183
00:07:27,510 --> 00:07:26,800
and i hope that you wear it proudly on

184
00:07:30,469 --> 00:07:27,520
