00:00Well good morning and good afternoon wherever you are from the International
00:05Space Station on behalf of all of Expedition 73 we are thrilled to have
00:10you join us today for two very special ceremonies here on board. The first thing
00:15we're going to do is start off with a farewell from our crew crew 10 who will
00:20be departing here shortly from the space station at the completion of our mission
00:23and then we'll hand over to the ISS commander currently Takuyo Nishi who
00:29will initiate the change of command ceremony for ISS command to Sergei
00:33Ryukov so to start off crew 10 wanted to say farewell to everybody and as we
00:41complete our mission on space station we really want to lead with gratitude for
00:46the absolute privilege of getting to live and work aboard this amazing
00:50International Space Station all of us are keenly aware that we may never get to
00:54do this again and we've been very pensive over the last days of
00:59understanding what we have all got to be a part of and we know that there's some
01:03tumultuous times on earth and there's some people that are going through
01:07struggles all over all around and we want this mission our mission to be a
01:13reminder of what people can do when we work together when we explore together the
01:20foundations of this mission were laid long before any of us got here this is a
01:24short snapshot in time today in our mission but the International Space Station
01:30this international mission that has been going on for almost 25 years was made
01:35possible by visionaries who years before believed in something this massive I
01:41truly believe that this is one of the biggest feats of cooperation that humans
01:47have ever accomplished it takes people from every country all around the world
01:51every single day showing up to support this mission to make it happen and really
01:56we just get to be we had the privilege of getting to be here for a short period of
02:00that time but if we think back to 40 years ago when this idea was conceived and
02:05the international partnerships started to come together the atmosphere and the
02:11climate politically was very similar to what it is now it there's a lot of
02:15people that would say that's not going to be possible but all it took was
02:19visionaries from all around the world to work together to have a mustard seed of
02:23faith that something like this could be done when we work together crew 10 has had
02:30the absolute privilege of working here for the last four months and we have so
02:33much gratitude for all of the ground teams that showed up every day to make this
02:37possible we truly are very humbled to wreck it to represent humanity and we
02:45hope that we can be a reminder to others of the goodness of humanity and what we
02:50really can accomplish when we work together so for all my friends and family
02:57purse on a personal note friends and family I will see you soon without your
03:02support I could never do this every single day so thank you very much and we'll
03:06see you back soon on the greatest planet in the solar system we've checked we'll
03:11back to earth here shortly I'm going to pass it off to crew 10 pilot Nicole Ayers
03:22thanks Anne for those wonderful words I think as we leave the International
03:26Space Station I'm reflecting with a heart full of gratitude I think that it's
03:33been an amazing experience I'm grateful for the the ground team that put together
03:38this beautiful place that we call home without all of the flight controllers on
03:44the ground and the massive support system that we have across the entire
03:48world this place would not stay in orbit and so thank you to the ground teams all
03:53over the world for everything you do grateful to our 73 s crewmates you guys

05:53happy to have this wonderful time with such wonderful people
05:57I want to thank you to all the people who made this flight possible to our
06:00full-time workers and all the workers and all the workers who made this flight possible to our
06:04workers, end up with the instructors, those who made this flight possible.
06:10Thank you very much to all for your work and for the fact that you make such great and great
06:19things like these flights and all the following.
06:24So as I mentioned, as Ann mentioned, this is a combination of farewell and also the change
06:37of command ceremony, so my speech might be a little bit longer than the other folks.
06:44It is hard to believe that it is time for us to go home, and it's a bittersweet moment
06:51to say goodbye to the rest of Expedition 73.
06:55It's been a great time with my crewmates and also working with highly professional teams
07:03on the ground.
07:04I'd like to take this opportunity to thank all the agencies, flight controllers, and instructors,
07:12and all the other folks on the ground who support ISS mission.
07:17And I would especially like to recognize our lead Houston flight director, Nicole McElroy,
07:27who demonstrated her excellent leadership, and she made our mission so productive despite
07:34some changes in the incremental traffic plan.
07:38So Nicole, thank you so much for your dedication to our increment.
07:44And I am also very thankful to my crewmates for making my days here joyful.
07:51Anna, you did a great job in leading USEVA 93 and facilitating the action for mission.
08:01Those two events are the highlights of the first half of Expedition 73.
08:07And Nicole, your enthusiasm has had a very positive effect on all of us and on the mission.
08:18And Kirill, having a crew member who has a great sense of humor like you means a lot.
08:25So you are such a delightful person.
08:29And Johnny, you are one of the most diligent people I have ever met.
08:35So I have 100% trust in you as the next US segment lead.
08:40And Alexei, it was always my pleasure to talk with you.
08:46You are always smiling and you are always joking.
08:50So I love to spend time with you, so thank you so much for your friendship.
08:54And Sergei, as the segment leads, we talked a lot and always helped each other.
09:02So without your help, it would have been much more challenging to be the commander of the ISS.
09:09So thank you very much.
09:11And Xena, Mike, and Kimia, Alexei, I wish we could spend more time together, but you are in good hands.
09:21So I'm sure the second half of Expedition 73 will be even better.
09:27And there are so many things we have, we don't have here, but there are so many things we can only get here.
09:38And the time I spend with you guys is definitely one of those things, so I really appreciate it.
09:45And Kulten is now leaving, but the science will continue here because this place is the outpost for human beings to advance our technology and to explore further.
10:00So now I am very happy to hand over the command of the ISS to you, Sergei.
10:35Dear friends, dear colleagues, taking responsibility for station commanding, I am full of expression.
10:47And I would like to note that our Expedition 73 took place on an anniversary year.
11:00We together celebrated 50th anniversary of first joint international space flight, Apollo-Soyuz, and first handshake in space.
11:12We are going to celebrate 25th anniversary of international space station flight in man boat.
11:22And history shows that in our beautiful planet people unfortunately cannot understand each other any time, but in space we can cooperate effectively.
11:44And I am so grateful to everyone for this nice four months together and wish you have a safe trip home.
12:00And I would like to say that we will continue the program.
12:07We will do it as productive and fun and safe as possible.
12:15And have a safe trip.
