00:00Hi everyone. Namaskar from space.

00:04I'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, excitement and all was, you know, probably far away.

00:30It 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.

00:43Everything silenced and you were just floating.

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

00:49It was an amazing feeling.

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

00:57I 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 part, I really want to thank each one of you.

01:12Also to family and friends, you 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.

01:23You know, this is swan, a great symbol.

01:25It looks really cute.

01:26But 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.

01:44So basically, it would be called an age of distraction, I would say.

01:48So this means a lot more, not just a zero-g indicator for us.

01:53And I think that we all have symbolism in Poland and in Hungary and India as well.

01:57So I think this looks like a coincidence, but it is not.

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

02:06The capsule itself, Grace, has been very kind.

02:08I was not feeling very great when we, you know, got shot into the vacuum.

02:14But since yesterday, I have been told that I have been sleeping a lot, which is a good sign.

02:19So I think that's a great sign.

02:23I am getting used to this quite well.

02:26Enjoying the views, enjoying the entire experience.

02:29Learning like a baby, you know, learning the new steps, learning how to walk, learning how to control yourself, everything.

02:35Learning how to eat, I think.

02:37So it's a new environment, new challenge, and I'm really enjoying this experience with my fellow astronauts here.

02:44And it's good to make mistakes, but it's better to see somebody else do that too.

02:49So it has been a fun time up here.

02:53That is all I have to say.

02:55Thank you so much, guys, for making this happen.

02:57And I'm sure that we are going to have a great time.

03:00And with this, I will hand over to Tibor now.
