00:00:04,550 --> 00:00:02,389
well good evening on board the

2
00:00:07,030 --> 00:00:04,560
international space station it's a real

3
00:00:08,150 --> 00:00:07,040
honor and a privilege for me to have

4
00:00:11,669 --> 00:00:08,160
been

5
00:00:13,430 --> 00:00:11,679
in command of this uh really miraculous

6
00:00:17,029 --> 00:00:13,440
facility for

7
00:00:18,470 --> 00:00:17,039
oh several months now and

8
00:00:21,269 --> 00:00:18,480
you know we've really compli

9
00:00:22,630 --> 00:00:21,279
accomplished a lot in my time here

10
00:00:25,830 --> 00:00:22,640
we've had

11
00:00:28,070 --> 00:00:25,840
many uh visiting vehicles progress uh

12
00:00:30,710 --> 00:00:28,080
vehicles soyuz

13
00:00:31,910 --> 00:00:30,720
european htv japanese

14
00:00:34,549 --> 00:00:31,920
htv

15
00:00:36,950 --> 00:00:34,559
and a space shuttle

16
00:00:38,950 --> 00:00:36,960
along with that we've done some

17
00:00:40,950 --> 00:00:38,960
very impressive science

18
00:00:41,830 --> 00:00:40,960
and we've gotten the space station ready

19
00:00:43,510 --> 00:00:41,840
for

20
00:00:45,590 --> 00:00:43,520
life after

21
00:00:46,790 --> 00:00:45,600
the space shuttle program which we

22
00:00:49,190 --> 00:00:46,800
certainly

23
00:00:50,709 --> 00:00:49,200
will miss

24
00:00:52,150 --> 00:00:50,719
and we've done that

25
00:00:54,310 --> 00:00:52,160
all of that

26
00:00:56,549 --> 00:00:54,320
not just through our our work here on

27
00:00:59,750 --> 00:00:56,559
board but more significantly i think

28
00:01:01,110 --> 00:00:59,760
through teamwork uh with the folks

29
00:01:02,709 --> 00:01:01,120
around the world and the different

30
00:01:03,990 --> 00:01:02,719
control centers

31
00:01:06,070 --> 00:01:04,000
with the people that work in the

32
00:01:06,950 --> 00:01:06,080
programs um

33
00:01:10,789 --> 00:01:06,960
on

34
00:01:13,190 --> 00:01:10,799
and for all these uh modules and and

35
00:01:15,910 --> 00:01:13,200
the international uh partnerships

36
00:01:18,149 --> 00:01:15,920
involved it's uh

37
00:01:21,030 --> 00:01:18,159
if you could see this place in person it

38
00:01:22,950 --> 00:01:21,040
really is in my opinion one of the most

39
00:01:24,469 --> 00:01:22,960
amazing

40
00:01:26,230 --> 00:01:24,479
engineering achievements that people

41
00:01:28,469 --> 00:01:26,240
have accomplished and you know if we can

42
00:01:30,789 --> 00:01:28,479
build something like this we can meet

43
00:01:32,950 --> 00:01:30,799
any challenge and we we we certainly

44
00:01:34,950 --> 00:01:32,960
have challenges back on earth and

45
00:01:36,390 --> 00:01:34,960
we recognize that and

46
00:01:38,469 --> 00:01:36,400
you know our heart goes out to our

47
00:01:40,789 --> 00:01:38,479
hearts go out to our partners in japan

48
00:01:41,749 --> 00:01:40,799
that have suffered greatly

49
00:01:48,870 --> 00:01:41,759
and

50
00:01:52,630 --> 00:01:48,880
from this as you know the japanese

51
00:01:56,069 --> 00:01:52,640
people are very very uh resilient

52
00:01:58,789 --> 00:01:56,079
um i'm a captain in the united states

53
00:02:01,590 --> 00:01:58,799
navy and a change of command ceremony is

54
00:02:04,149 --> 00:02:01,600
very significant in a time honored

55
00:02:05,749 --> 00:02:04,159
tradition where one

56
00:02:08,150 --> 00:02:05,759
officer

57
00:02:10,229 --> 00:02:08,160
relinquishes command and another assumes

58
00:02:12,309 --> 00:02:10,239
command and it's my understanding is

59
00:02:17,110 --> 00:02:12,319
it's the same way in the in the russian

60
00:02:21,430 --> 00:02:20,229
so what i'd like to do now is

61
00:02:23,030 --> 00:02:21,440
turn the

62
00:02:24,150 --> 00:02:23,040
command of the international space

63
00:02:27,990 --> 00:02:24,160
station

64
00:02:30,229 --> 00:02:28,000
over to colonel uh dmitry kandratev

65
00:02:32,070 --> 00:02:30,239
of the russian air force

66
00:02:35,190 --> 00:02:32,080
and i will do that with

67
00:02:37,750 --> 00:02:35,200
just a few simple words and that is

68
00:02:40,949 --> 00:02:37,760
i relinquish command of the

69
00:02:42,869 --> 00:02:40,959
international space station

70
00:02:45,110 --> 00:02:42,879
and in russian

71
00:03:03,830 --> 00:02:45,120
commander vanier

72
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:12,149
is commanding has been accepted

73
00:03:15,350 --> 00:03:14,070
