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

03:26Space 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

06:37So my speech is going to be, might be a little bit longer than the other folks.
06:43And it is hard to believe that it is time for us to go home.
06:48And it's a bittersweet moment to say goodbye to the rest of Expedition 73.
06:54And it's been a great time with my crewmates and also working with highly professional teams on the ground.
07:03I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the agencies, flight controllers, and instructors,
07:10and all the other folks on the ground who support ISS mission.
07:15And I would especially like to recognize our lead Houston flight director, Nicole McElroy,
07:25who demonstrated her excellent leadership.
07:29And she made our mission so productive, despite some changes in the incremental traffic plan.
07:37So, Nicole, thank you so much for your dedication to our increment.
07:42And I am also very thankful to my crewmates for making my days here joyful.
07:51Anna, you did a great job in leading US EVA 93 and facilitating the action for mission.
08:00Those two events are the highlights of the first half of Expedition 73.
08:06And, Nicole, your enthusiasm has had a very positive effect on all of us and on the mission.
08:17And, Kirill, having a crew member who has a great sense of humor like you means a lot.
08:24So, you are such a delightful person.
08:27And, Johnny, you are one of the most diligent people I have ever met.
08:33So, I have 100% trust in you as the next US segment lead.
08:39And, Alexei, it was always my pleasure to talk with you.
08:44You are always smiling and you are always joking.
08:48So, I love to spend time with you.
08:51So, thank you so much for your friendship.
08:53And, Sergey, as the segment leads, we talked a lot and always helped each other.
09:01So, 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.
09:14Oleg, I wish we could spend more time together.
09:18But, you are in good hands.
09:20So, I'm sure the second half of Expedition 73 will be even better.
09:27And, there are so many things we don't have here.
09:33But, 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.
09:43So, I really appreciate it.
09:45And, Crutan is now leaving.
09:48But, the science will continue here.
09:51Because, 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, Sergey.
10:21Dear friends, dear colleagues.
10:38Taking responsibility for station commanding.
10:43I 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.
11:38But, in space, we can cooperate effectively.
11:43And, I am so thank you, everybody, for this nice four months together.
11:53And, I wish you have a safe trip home.
