Good evening, America! I'm NASA astronaut Kate Rubins
along with the American members of our Expedition 64 crew aboard the International Space Station.
We're 200 miles above Earth and traveling at 17,500 miles per hour around its orbit.
We're up here working with our international partners to find new scientific breakthroughs,
from improved vaccines to safer drinking water, to help people all over the world.
Just as we're celebrating two decades of global cooperation in space,
it's truly an honor for us to celebrate America today
as we unite for this historic, inaugural tradition that spans more than two centuries.
