00:00:20.096 --> 00:00:25.548
As the most forward-deployed citizens of the planet at this moment,

00:00:25.548 --> 00:00:28.983
we, the first expedition crew aboard Space Station Alpha...

00:00:28.983 --> 00:00:33.052
We are well started on our journey of exploration and discovery,

00:00:33.052 --> 00:00:36.405
building a foothold for men and women who will voyage

00:00:36.405 --> 00:00:39.991
and live in places far away from our home planet.

00:00:39.991 --> 00:00:42.812
We are opening a Gateway to Space

00:00:42.812 --> 00:00:44.910
for all humankind.

00:00:44.910 --> 00:00:46.978
As we orbit the planet every 90 minutes,

00:00:46.978 --> 00:00:50.339
we see a world without borders, and send our wish

00:00:50.339 --> 00:00:53.702
that all nations will work towards peace and harmony.

00:00:53.702 --> 00:00:56.090
Our world has changed dramatically.

00:00:56.090 --> 00:01:00.270
Still, the ISS is physical proof that nations can work together in harmony,

00:01:00.270 --> 00:01:06.412
and should promote peace and global cooperation, and reach goals that are simply out of this world.

00:01:11.426 --> 00:01:14.337
On this night, we would like to share with all,

00:01:14.337 --> 00:01:17.603
our good fortune on this space adventure,

00:01:17.603 --> 00:01:21.360
our wonder and excitement as we gaze on the Earth's splendor,

00:01:21.360 --> 00:01:27.052
and our strong sense that the human spirit to do, to explore, to discover

00:01:27.052 --> 00:01:29.072
has no limit.

00:01:33.025 --> 00:01:34.956
Times are hard all over the world,

00:01:34.956 --> 00:01:37.564
but this is a time when we can all think

00:01:37.564 --> 00:01:40.133
about being together and treasuring our planet,

00:01:40.133 --> 00:01:43.363
and we have a pretty nice view of it up here.
