Indian Astronaut Shubhanshu Shukla: India, Poland, and Hungary have launched astronauts into space for the first time in over 40 years, marking a historic return to human spaceflight. The Axiom-4 mission, launched aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center, is a privately funded mission to the International Space Station (ISS).
00:04After 41 years, we arrived in Sanctrish and it was a Kamaal ride.
00:09We were flying around 47 kilometers per second from the city of Kamaal.
00:15And in my head, I was telling myself that I am not with you, I am with you.
00:23This is not my international space station journey.
00:26Next is mission pilot Shubanshu Shukalav, India, whose call sign as a test pilot is Shuk's.
00:52Representing the Indian Space Research Organization, or ISRO, Shuk's is also an astronaut-designate of India's inaugural human spaceflight effort, Ganga Yan, featuring an Indian-built rocket and spacecraft.

02:12We're flying around 4-4 kilometers per second.
02:14And in my head, I'm telling myself that I'm not alone.
02:15I'm with you.
02:16I'm with you.
02:17I'm with you.
02:18And inside my head, my head is telling me,
02:19after all my head.
02:20I'm not alone.
02:22I'm with you.
02:23I'm with you.
02:25This is not my journey.
02:27This is not my passion.
