00:01Well 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
01:25short 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
01:42truly 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 and 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

05:45Thank you very much.
06:10Thank you very much for your work and that you can do such great and great things like these flights
06:22and all the following.
06:30As I mentioned, this is a combination of farewell and also the change of command ceremony.
06:38So my speech is going to be a little bit longer than the other folks.
06:44And it is hard to believe that it is time for us to go home.
06:49And 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.
07:04I'd like to take this opportunity to thank all the agencies, flight controllers and instructors and all the other folks
07:13on the ground who support ISS mission.
07:15And I would especially like to recognize our lead Houston flight director, Nicole McElroy, who demonstrated her excellent leadership.
07:29And she made our mission so productive despite some changes in the incremental traffic plan.
07:38So 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.
07:52Anna, you did a great job in leading USEVA 93 and facilitating the action for mission.
08:00Those two events are the highlights of the first half of Expedition 73.
08:07And Nicole, your enthusiasm has had a very positive effect on all of us and on the mission.
08:18And Kirill, having a crew member who has a great sense of humor like you means a lot.
08:25So you are such a delightful person.
08:29And Johnny, you are one of the most diligent people I have ever met.
08:34So I have 100% trust in you as the next US segment lead.
08:40And Alexei, it was always my pleasure to talk with you.
08:46You are always smiling and you are always joking.
08:49So I love to spend time with you.
08:52So thank you so much for your friendship.
08:54And Sergey, as the segment leads, we talked a lot and always helped each other.
09:02So without your help, it would have been much more challenging to be the commander of the ISS.
09:10So thank you very much.
09:12And Zina, Mike, and Kimia.
09:15Oleg, I wish we could spend more time together, but you are in good hands.
09:21So I'm sure the second half of Expedition 73 will be even better.
09:28And there are so many things we don't have here, but there are so many things we can only get
09:38here.
09:38And the time I spend with you guys is definitely one of those things.
09:44So I really appreciate it.
09:46And Cruten is now leaving, but the science will continue here because this place is the outpost for human beings
09:55to 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.
10:07So, I appreciate it.
10:36Dear colleagues, taking responsibility for station commanding, I 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 15th anniversary of first joint international space flight, Apollo
11:08Soyuz, and first handshake in space.
11:13We 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
11:37other any time, but in space we can cooperate effectively.
11:43And I am so thank you everybody for this nice four months together and wish you have a safe
11:59trip home.
12:02And I would like to say that we will continue the program.
12:08We will do it as productive and fun and safe as possible and have a safe trip.
12:21Expedition 73, go forward, Godspeed, take care.
12:30Thank you very much.
