Group Captain Shubhanshu Shukla, the Axiom-4 Mission pilot, is preparing to return to Earth after spending nearly two-and-a-half weeks onboard the International Space Station (ISS).
00:00It has been an incredible journey. I did not imagine all this when I started on Falcon 9 on 25th and I think it has been made amazing or incredible because of the people who are involved.
00:13The team that is standing behind me, you guys have made it really special for us being here on the station and it was an incredible joy to be here and working alongside with a bunch of professionals like you.
00:25Over the past two and a half weeks or so, we have done a lot of science on the station, we have done outreach activities and also look back at the earth whatever time we found, we were always looking out the window.
00:38And it almost seems magical to me and I would like to take this opportunity to thank my country and all their citizens for supporting this mission and me with all their hearts.
00:51And I would like to thank ISTRO for making this happen, all the colleagues at ISTRO who have worked tirelessly in developing all the protocols, the science and the outreach activities, the researchers back in India, the students who developed the outreach items that I carried.
01:08I would also like to thank NASA and its international partners for ensuring that we were trained adequately well and providing all the support around the clock and all the people who are sitting on ground supporting this mission, making it extremely successful.
01:23I would agree with what to be said that these missions have much far reaching implications beyond science and that is what I believe that this would, this mission would also do in all of our respective countries as well.
01:40Going back from here, I carry with me a lot of memories and the learnings out of this mission that I would try and spread back.
01:52But the one thing that really sticks to me is what humanity is capable of when all of us come together from different parts of the world and work for a common goal or a common objective.
02:03It is truly incredible.
02:04It is truly incredible.
02:05So thank you everyone and it has been an incredible mission for me.
02:10Thank you to all our, for Diversity and I have a lot of support for people who in India,
02:13I have dedicated the support for me to be able to liquidate trying to become a good community.
02:14Thank you everyone so much.

02:18Thank you very much.
02:20I love you very much.
02:22Thank you very much.
02:23I have loved you.
02:38I was born in a 40 years ago, I was born in an antirakshman and told me that the world is how far we can see.
02:45And I think that we all know how far we can see how far we can see.
02:51I am going to tell you how far we can see.
02:53Today is how far we can see the world from space.
02:59Today is how far we can see the world from nearer.
03:03Today is how far we can see the world from confident.
