1
00:00:09,384 --> 00:00:12,846
Our Crew-7 
mission will take our four crew members

2
00:00:12,846 --> 00:00:15,890
to the International Space Station,
which is

3
00:00:15,890 --> 00:00:19,769
think of it as an orbiting laboratory
around the Earth.

4
00:00:19,769 --> 00:00:21,730
In the broadest sense,

5
00:00:21,730 --> 00:00:26,568
Crew-7 and Expedition 70 
is about the exploration of space

6
00:00:26,985 --> 00:00:30,196
because a lot of the science
and technology development

7
00:00:30,488 --> 00:00:35,535
that we do onboard the space station
not only benefits future missions

8
00:00:35,535 --> 00:00:40,957
to the Moon and Mars, but it also benefits
humanity and it benefits the Earth.

9
00:00:41,082 --> 00:00:44,169
The main topic of our work
is always science.

10
00:00:44,377 --> 00:00:48,882
So we have numerous scientific projects
and scientific experiments

11
00:00:48,882 --> 00:00:50,550
which we are part of.

12
00:00:50,842 --> 00:00:52,635
We're doing science
and research

13
00:00:52,719 --> 00:00:56,473
on ourselves, our human bodies
and how we react in space

14
00:00:56,765 --> 00:01:00,935
so that we can eventually go further
in the solar system.

15
00:01:01,394 --> 00:01:05,315
Using the long lasting
microgravity environment

16
00:01:05,356 --> 00:01:09,819
onboard the International Space Station,
which we cannot obtain on the ground,

17
00:01:10,153 --> 00:01:13,156
we can perform many scientific research

18
00:01:13,364 --> 00:01:15,950
that makes our life on Earth better.

19
00:01:19,329 --> 00:01:21,039
Well, with my international upbringing,

20
00:01:21,039 --> 00:01:24,667
I'm especially proud of the fact
that our Crew-7 mission

21
00:01:24,918 --> 00:01:28,797
has four different astronauts
from four different countries.

22
00:01:29,089 --> 00:01:30,757
And it's just something really special

23
00:01:30,757 --> 00:01:34,094
when you think about we've all come
from very different backgrounds.

24
00:01:34,385 --> 00:01:35,678
We have different cultures

25
00:01:35,678 --> 00:01:39,140
and different traditions,
but we share those with each other.

26
00:01:39,516 --> 00:01:40,642
Working as a team,

27
00:01:40,642 --> 00:01:44,979
we can back up each other
and accomplish the mission easily.

28
00:01:45,355 --> 00:01:48,566
And I hope that this is something
which can show the world

29
00:01:49,192 --> 00:01:53,530
how we can achieve big things
when we cooperate and we work together.

30
00:01:54,322 --> 00:01:59,077
It's a human being's instinct to broaden
our boundaries.

31
00:01:59,619 --> 00:02:03,206
Humans have always wanted
to push the boundaries.

32
00:02:03,206 --> 00:02:04,624
We're curious beings.

33
00:02:04,624 --> 00:02:07,335
We want to know what is out there.

34
00:02:07,335 --> 00:02:08,920
We want to see what's behind that hill.

35
00:02:08,920 --> 00:02:10,964
We want to see what's behind that sea.

36
00:02:10,964 --> 00:02:13,591
We want to see what's behind that planet.

37
00:02:13,591 --> 00:02:15,969
Every time we've explored in the past,

38
00:02:15,969 --> 00:02:19,013
it has been beneficial to humans
and to humankind.

39
00:02:19,806 --> 00:02:23,393
We always learn and develop technologies
that help us.

40
00:02:23,393 --> 00:02:25,770
We learn more about our home planet.

41
00:02:25,770 --> 00:02:29,232
We travel out into space
to gather knowledge,

42
00:02:29,232 --> 00:02:33,236
to expand our understanding of our world
and the universe,

43
00:02:33,486 --> 00:02:38,533
and return that knowledge to the Earth,
to humanity, for the benefit of us all.
