04:31 See you again. Bye. I love you.
04:34 I'm very happy to be on the International Space Station.
04:42 And I'm very excited to work in this brilliant international team.
04:47 I'm glad that I didn't ruin this first time.
05:05 I'm very excited to be here.
05:07 It's so hard to explain the feeling of seeing these guys here floating so easily.
05:13 Very excited. Looking forward to a long-duration flight.
05:17 And also I want to point out again how important it is to work together in unity.
05:22 And this is International Space Station.
05:24 We are the most international SpaceX flight.
05:27 Right now you see five nationalities here.
05:30 And we are looking forward to work together, continue ISS-79 and ISS-70 expeditions.
05:39 Now a few words in Russian.
05:41 I'm very happy to be here. Thank you very much.
05:43 It's a pleasure to see you all.
05:45 It's a homey atmosphere here.
05:47 Unexpectedly spacious after we flew on the ship.
05:50 I'm very grateful to everyone who participated in the preparation for the flight.
05:54 All agencies, Roscosmos, NASA, European and Japanese space agencies.
05:58 Special thanks to SpaceX for the ship, for how we flew.
06:04 Unexpectedly easy. I expected it to be harder.
06:08 But we are looking forward to what Sergey said in 2018.
06:11 We are waiting for everyone here.
06:13 I hope that there will be a broadcast of the "Band-Aid" that we will all be on ISS soon.
06:21 Thank you all very much.
06:23 Thank you.
06:30 All right. Welcome to the team.
06:32 And great words.
06:34 Thank you so much once again to the NASA team, the SpaceX team and to all the agencies.
06:38 What an amazing crew.
06:40 We look forward to the next few months.
06:42 And we are going to have a lot of fun together.
06:46 Station, this is Houston ACR. That concludes the event.
06:52 Thank you, station.
06:54 We are now resuming operational audio communications.
07:06 And there you have it.
07:08 A truly international crew now aboard the International Space Station.
07:13 It has been an incredible few hours.
07:15 And it's so great to see Crew 7 on board safely.
07:19 In our welcoming ceremony, each of them spoke about what it took to get to this moment
07:24 to welcome four new astronauts to the space station,
07:27 bringing the current population on board to 11 human beings as part of Expedition 69.
07:33 We have been with you from the very beginning.
07:36 We saw a spectacular launch at 2.27 a.m. Central on Saturday morning.
07:41 Following liftoff, the first stage separated and came back to Earth,
07:45 landing on the recovery ship while Dragon separated from the second stage.
07:50 We had a good nose cone deploy and several major burns took place
07:54 as Dragon made its way to the space station.
07:57 Finally, Endurance and its four-person crew docked to the space station at 9.58 a.m. Central
08:03 and floated through the hatch at 9.58 a.m.,
08:06 officially bringing them to their new home for the next six months.
08:11 It's been an incredible 24 hours watching this mission.
08:14 On behalf of SpaceX and NASA, thank you for watching it all unfold with us.
08:19 The seventh rotational crew mission has reached the International Space Station
08:23 and will spend approximately six months docked to the orbiting lab
08:27 until it's time for the crew to come home.
