00:00So what made you become an IAF pilot from IAF pilot to astronaut of ISS?
00:10No, no specific thought. Actually I was serving as a test pilot when this opportunity opened up
00:15and I don't think there was any deliberate thought at that point of time.
00:18It was a very instinctive decision. I think everybody's dream is to extend sky to space
00:23and I think when that opportunity opened up I immediately applied.
00:26If I'm not wrong, your training was planned in the US, Russia and India.
00:31So what was the toughest part?
00:33Though it is challenging, the training is challenging and we have been training since 2020.
00:38We have trained in Russia, then we came back to India, we were training here and then we went to the US.
00:42Training is achieving the similar objective, preparing people to go to space
00:46but they are being done in a different way in every place.
00:49So there are some differences but overall the objective is same.
00:52What was the toughest day that you have been there in ISS?
00:56I think the first few days are challenging because your body is not feeling good.
01:00You are not feeling good and you have to work because you are there for short duration.
01:05So first two to three days were quite challenging but after that your body gets used to the space environment
01:10so it becomes okay.
01:11What is the suggestion you want to give to the youngsters, especially Genji?
01:15My suggestion to them is to be excited, be curious.
01:19I think India is on its path of space journey.
01:22It is going to be very glorious and a big contributor towards the dream of Viksit Bharat 2047.
01:28So my message to the youth is to be excited and be a part of this and actively participate in this
01:33and not just think that it is somebody else's job.
01:36Assume the responsibility and think that this is my job.
01:39You know I have to take India from here to being Viksit Bharat 2047.
