1
00:00:04,950 --> 00:00:03,110
okay houston and everybody welcome to

2
00:00:07,430 --> 00:00:04,960
the change of command ceremony between

3
00:00:09,990 --> 00:00:07,440
expeditions 50 and 51.

4
00:00:12,310 --> 00:00:10,000
uh crews are behind me here uh we're

5
00:00:14,870 --> 00:00:12,320
ready to do this thing and uh get

6
00:00:17,430 --> 00:00:14,880
expedition 50 off of here so 51 can

7
00:00:18,870 --> 00:00:17,440
enjoy their experience even more

8
00:00:20,630 --> 00:00:18,880
but we've had a great time up here it's

9
00:00:22,950 --> 00:00:20,640
been an amazing experience for almost

10
00:00:25,349 --> 00:00:22,960
six months now for andre and sergey and

11
00:00:27,189 --> 00:00:25,359
i and we've gotten to enjoy peggy and

12
00:00:28,630 --> 00:00:27,199
taman oleg for about four and a half

13
00:00:30,230 --> 00:00:28,640
months of that so it's that's pretty

14
00:00:31,669 --> 00:00:30,240
unusual but we've really enjoyed having

15
00:00:32,950 --> 00:00:31,679
them around

16
00:00:35,270 --> 00:00:32,960
it's really neat to be part of something

17
00:00:38,310 --> 00:00:35,280
this big something bigger than ourselves

18
00:00:40,229 --> 00:00:38,320
for one but even bigger than a nation um

19
00:00:41,590 --> 00:00:40,239
it's you know we get the ability up here

20
00:00:43,830 --> 00:00:41,600
to interact with things that actually

21
00:00:46,229 --> 00:00:43,840
benefit all of humanity so it's really

22
00:00:47,670 --> 00:00:46,239
humbling for one but uh very neat and

23
00:00:48,709 --> 00:00:47,680
special to be part of something like

24
00:00:50,229 --> 00:00:48,719
that

25
00:00:51,990 --> 00:00:50,239
none of us could do any of this without

26
00:00:53,750 --> 00:00:52,000
the support of a lot of people so i'll

27
00:00:55,510 --> 00:00:53,760

28
00:00:57,189 --> 00:00:55,520
