00:30Just now joining us, we are waiting for the AX-4 crew to exit the Dragon spacecraft Grace.
01:00Peggy, Schicks, Suave, and Tibor are at the end of their Axiom Mission 4 after 20 days in space, 18 on board the International Space Station.
01:1618 days.
01:17And now this wraps up a very significant portion of the mission, but it's not entirely over.
01:33We still have a few medical checks to go, and then in addition to that, the AX-4, all the research done on the AX-4 mission is all going to be in a world of post-processing, analysis, assessment, and that's all part of it, as well as crew debriefs.
01:48So, you know, following after crew egresses the spacecraft and gets good medical checks, at that point we'll be getting the crew back home and then continuing the final, we'll call it terrestrial-based operations of the AX-4 mission.
02:05I guess it's more of the end of the space-facing portion of the mission.
02:10Yeah, it's operational-based.
02:15We're still going to take our time to get there.
02:16You can see ground crews are still working with the crew members in Hardware Inside.
02:21They've established some ground support equipment to help in the aid of the AX-4 crew getting out of the spacecraft.
02:30And some of their aids are not too complex.
02:53That white platform that you see there is essentially a slide.
02:58Yeah.
03:00But an important one.
03:01A very important slide.
03:03But in addition to that slide, you know, we do have, there's a complex tool that you mentioned earlier, Jesse, about protecting the SEALs.
03:12We can see now crew looking to make, the first crew members looking to make their egress from the spacecraft along that slide.
03:20Sliding out.
03:27And there she is.
03:28We see Commander Peggy Whitson, all smiles, exiting the spacecraft, Grace.
03:35That is a beautiful sight.
03:36Peggy Whitson, the AX-4 Commander, is home, having logged 695 days in space on five flights.
03:43She is the seventh on the all-time list for most days in space by a human.
03:48It's an incredible feat.
03:50Legendary.
03:50Legendary.
03:50Legendary.
03:50Legendary.
03:50Legendary.
03:50Legendary.
03:50Legendary.
03:50Legendary.
03:50Legendary.
03:51Legendary.
03:51Legendary.
03:52Legendary.
03:53Legendary.
03:54Legendary.
03:55Legendary.
03:56Legendary.
03:57Legendary.
03:58Legendary.

04:56Commander Peggy Whitson exit the Dragon spacecraft.
04:59We are waiting for the remaining three crew members of the AX-4 crew.
05:08There's no real order to the egress.
05:11It's really up to the crew.
05:13So patiently waiting to see who's up next.
05:16All right.
05:26If Peggy is in the indication, which I think she is for this particular crew, we'll see another big smile coming out of the Dragon spacecraft in a moment.
06:03Shubhanshu Shukla became the first astronaut to fly from the country's newly established astronaut corps.
06:10His participation marks a vital step forward for ISRO's Gaganyan program, which aims to send Indian astronauts into space aboard domestically developed spacecraft.
06:20Shukla's flight demonstrates India's readiness to execute international missions and reflects the country's broader ambitions to become a key player in the global space community.
06:29As India continues to expand its capabilities in crewed space flight, this mission serves as both a proving ground and a symbol of its commitment to innovation, collaboration, and leadership in space exploration.
07:11Now, at this time, we are waiting for the mission specialists of the AX-4 mission,
07:27Swabosh Wisniewski of Poland and Tibor Kapu of Hungary to now egress the Dragon spacecraft.
08:11We have our third crew member now egressing the vehicle.
08:25And there is Swabosh Wisniewski of Poland.
08:34Swab is all smiles for this, which I love to see.
08:37Now, Poland's participation in the AX-4 mission through the IGNUS program marked a pivotal step in the country's growing role in space exploration.
08:46Astronaut Swabosh's Nainski Wisniewski, flying in partnership with the European Space Agency,
08:51led a research agenda focused on some of the most pressing challenges in human spaceflight,
08:56mental health, artificial intelligence, and radiation monitoring.
08:59These areas are critical not only for ensuring astronaut well-being on long-duration missions,
09:03but also for enabling safe and sustainable exploration beyond low-Earth orbit.
09:08The IGNUS mission reflects Poland's strategic investment in cutting...
