00:00Hi everyone. Namaskar from space.

00:03I'm thrilled to be here with my fellow astronauts, as Peggy said, one veteran and three rookies.

00:10And wow, what a ride it was.

00:13Frankly, when I was sitting in the capsule in Grace yesterday on the launch pad,

00:20my only thought in my mind was that let's just go.

00:23After 30 days of quarantine, it was a feeling that I just wanted to go.

00:27So, you know, the excitement and all was, you know, probably far away.

00:31It was just the feeling that let's just leave here.

00:33But when the ride started, it was something.

00:36Like you're getting pushed back into the seat.

00:39It was an amazing ride.

00:41And then suddenly, nothing.

00:44Everything silenced and you were just floating.

00:46You unbuckled and you were just floating in the silence of vacuum.

00:50It was an amazing feeling.

00:51I wanted to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has been a part of this.

00:58I understand that this is not a personal accomplishment.

01:03It is a collective achievement of each and every one of you who has been a part of this journey.

01:08And to make this possible, I really want to thank each one of you.

01:13Also to family and friends.

01:14You know, your support has mattered so much.

01:16This is so much because of all of you guys.

01:21We showed you joy and grace.

01:24You know, this is swan, a great symbol.

01:26It looks really cute.

01:27But we have a very important swan in our Indian culture.

01:33Which is about swan symbolizes wisdom.

01:36It also has the ability to discern.

01:41It should be focused on and what does not.

01:45So basically, we call it an age of distraction, I would say.

01:49So this means a lot more.

01:51Not just a zero-g indicator for us.

01:54And I think that we all have symbolism in Poland and in Hungary and India as well.

01:58So I think this looks like a coincidence, but it is not.

02:03It has more meaning than what we are attaching it to it.

02:07The capsule itself, grace, has been very kind.

02:09I was not feeling very great when we got shot into the vacuum.

02:16But since yesterday, I've been told that I've been sleeping a lot, which is a good sign.

02:21So I think that's a great sign.

02:24I'm getting used to this quite well.

02:27Enjoying the views.

02:28Enjoying the entire experience.

02:30Learning like a baby, you know.

02:31Learning the new steps.

02:33Learning how to walk.

02:34Learning how to control yourself.

02:36Everything.

02:36Learning how to eat, I think.

02:38So it's a new environment, new challenge.

02:40And I'm really enjoying this experience with my fellow astronauts here.

02:45And it's good to make mistakes, but it's better to see somebody else do that too.

02:50So it has been a fun time up here.

02:54But that is all I have to say.

02:57Thank you so much, guys, for making this happen.

02:58And I'm sure that we are going to have a great time.

03:01And with this, I will hand over to Tibor now.
