00:00My brother Victor, you know, we train together in ISS and I always make fun that, you know, we look
00:05so similar that I'll make sure on the day of launch to moon, I'll, you know, lock him in some
00:10box and I'll go there. Nobody knows the difference. They are all right now out there, you know, going the
00:14furthest away that any human being has gone. I'm so happy for him and the entire crew.
00:18Late night and today morning when I woke up early morning around 5.30, this was the first thing that
00:23I saw that them naming this crater on the name of Commander Weed Weissman's, you know, deceased wife now, Karen.
00:34First of all, kudos to the four crew who have gone and not just to them, their families as well
00:39because it is not talked about enough but the sacrifices the families have to make is, it's probably much more,
00:45I would say.
00:46To the huge team who has been enabling this mission on the ground, I think history is being created as
00:50we speak and I would urge everybody listening on this to be as excited by the possibility of people going
00:56to moon once again, running there and, you know, maybe even further beyond.
01:00Get inspired by this because we have to make this happen from our own country as well. We have a
01:04plan as well. It will take a lot of time, it will take a lot of resources, it will take
01:08a lot of dedication and effort but it will happen if all of us decide that we want to make
01:12it happen.
01:12So be excited and let's make it happen for our country as well.
