00:00Okay, well, we'll wait and see who wins today's semi-final, England versus Argentina.
00:05But I want to leave you tonight with not quite our image of the day, but the soundbite of the
00:09day.
00:10Last night, we showed you the remarkable space flight of Indian origin astronaut Anil Menon
00:15as he lifted off as part of NASA's latest mission.
00:18Now listen to his first comment straight from the International Space Station.
00:22We wish him well, as we wish you too.
00:25Good night, Shubhra 3.
00:26Jai Hind Journey.
00:27Namaskar.
00:30Hello from the International Space Station.
00:32It's day one for me.
00:33And I just wanted to say thank you to some of the folks that helped make this dream a reality.
00:39Anna, Grace, James, thank you so much from deep in my heart.
00:45Grace, happy birthday.
00:46And I know some of my friends and colleagues from SpaceX where I used to work were out there
00:51rooting me on and sending me messages.
00:54Thank you all for teaching me how to do the impossible.
00:57I have used that lesson time and time again.
01:01And to the guardians at the Space Force, this is the biggest domain.
01:06And your job, our job, is unbelievably big.
01:11I'm proud to serve alongside you and also to NASA, who makes this all happen and is tasked
01:20with doing the near impossible, going to the moon, going to Mars, and pushing our boundaries
01:25where we have never gone.
01:26I am happy to be working alongside of you, using the space station as a stepping stone to
01:33those huge dreams of ours.
01:35Let's go, team.
01:36Let's do this.
