00:00 Station, this is Houston. Are you ready for the event?

00:02 Houston Station, we are ready for the event.

00:05 Station, this is NBRSC. How do you hear me?

00:08 NBRSC, Station, I have you loud and clear.

00:10 Assalamu alaikum, Saud.

00:12 Wa alaikum salam, Osma.

00:31 Hi Sultan, this is Nasreen from Khalij Times.

00:34 I just want to ask you, how are you feeling? You are ready to come back.

00:39 What is it that you will miss the most and least about ISS?

00:43 And once you come back, are you worried about settling back into Earth?

00:47 Are you worried that when you play with your kids you will tire easily?

00:50 Or that when you do your Jiu Jitsu, your arm bars or your omoplata are not going to be strong?

00:56 Well, thank you so much for the question.

01:00 Honestly, we have less than a month, I would say, to come back.

01:05 And we are ongoing in terms of the experiments and the maintenance and the daily duties.

01:14 And we will continue that throughout the last few weeks here.

01:19 So, just like this morning, we captured a cargo vehicle that is full of science,

01:24 full of cargo that we need to deal with in the coming few weeks.

01:29 And right before the undocking from the station, we will receive another crew, that is crew 7.

01:38 We will hand over a lot of stuff on board the station.

01:41 And mentally, honestly, I am just doing my job, the daily job here today.

01:47 And hopefully when it comes to returning to Earth, I will be ready.

01:51 And definitely I miss my family.

01:53 Hopefully, we will get to chat with them and tell them what I experienced on board the station.

01:59 And I will definitely miss gravity here.

02:02 We take things for granted on Earth.

02:04 We have gravity and here we are in microgravity.

02:08 So, I will definitely miss microgravity when I come back to Earth.
