00:00 On behalf of the EuroSpace program, 189 days into your solo journey.
00:10 Commander Prahadska, how are you feeling?
00:15 What I'm doing is for everyone back home and that makes me very proud.
00:23 And your wife Lenka of course.
00:27 I'm sure she's looking forward to having your mom safe and sound.
00:30 He's not doing well. He misses his wife.
00:36 And he shouldn't have left.
00:40 Six months in isolation, you stop thinking too much.
00:48 I'm getting interference.
00:54 I did not intend to frighten you, skinny human.
00:57 Do not be afraid.
01:00 I'm losing my mind.
01:02 You wish to know if I am real.
01:08 I am like you, an explorer.
01:13 Your loneliness intrigued me.
01:18 Why are you here?
01:20 I might be of help.
01:23 I wish to assist you in your emotional distress.
01:26 I don't need your help.
01:29 But you do.
01:32 You go where I go and I go where you go, right spaceman?
01:40 These are your thoughts. I am simply finding them with you.
01:45 Everything that begins must end. I'm not allowing that.
01:48 You go where I go and I go where you go.
01:56 I just want to come home.
02:03 I just want to come home.
02:06 I just want to come home.
