00:00Thank you Peggy. Oh, so I am number 634. That's a privilege.
00:08No, but to be fair, it is a privilege to be amongst the few who have got the, you know, chance to see the Earth from a vantage point that I have been able to see now.
00:17It has been a wonderful ride. It has been great. And I was looking forward to come to space.
00:22You know, it is something to look forward to as such. But the minute I entered the International Space Station and you guys,
00:28this crew, you just made me feel so welcome as if you literally opened your doors, like your house doors for us.
00:35That's true. So, but it was fantastic. I just, I feel even better, you know, whatever expectation I had of, you know, coming here,
00:43they were surpassed by the view, of course, that's the big part of it, but by you guys as well.
00:48So thank you so much. I think this was, this was fantastic. This is wonderful.
00:51And I'm very, very confident that the next 14 days are going to be amazing doing, as you said, advancing science and research.
