00:005, 4, 3, 2, 1, ignition, and liftoff. Go Falcon, go Dragon, and Godspeed, Crew 12.
00:11And liftoff, freedom flies, bound for the International Space Station.
00:171.7 million pounds of thrust now propelling Falcon 9 and Crew 12.
00:23Vehicle is pitching downrange, and all nine Merlin vehicles have lit.
00:27We're getting good call-outs on the first stage performance, and we're getting our first view.
00:31SpaceX, nominal trajectory.
00:36Thanks, Jack. For Crew 12, this is our first orbit.
00:40For humanity, it's just one small moment in the vast journey of exploring our world and beyond.
00:46From up here, we're reminded that we're all connected.
00:50Take care of one another, dream big together, and keep reaching higher.
00:55That's how humanity moves forward.
01:02You were the inspiration for ESA astronaut Sophie Arunot,
01:07who, at age 14, watched you fly as the first French woman to go into space back in 1996.
01:16That inspired her on her journey when she said something clicked, and she knew she wanted to be an astronaut.
01:24What you felt, what you experienced in that moment?
01:28It was so hugely emotional to see her with this successful launch.
01:33I know that sometimes girls or boys need some turning point in order to make their dream come alive.
01:44And if I have been this one for Sophie, that's wonderful.
01:48You wrote her a letter before she went to go on this launch.
01:53Would you share some of the words that you gave, that you hand-wrote to her?
01:59It was mainly experiences, lessons learned, in order to say,
02:04don't forget that, who be careful with, and the flight will be long.
02:08So take everything for you and enjoy.
02:21Five, four, three, two, one, ignition, and liftoff.
02:29Go Falcon, go Dragon, and Godspeed Crew 12.
