As the most forward deployed citizens of the planet at this moment
and the first expedition crew aboard Space Station Alpha
We are well started on our journey of exploration and discovery
building a foothold for men and women who will voyage
and live in places far away from our home planet.
We are opening a Gateway to Space
for all humankind.
As we orbit planet every 90 minutes
we see a world without borders and send our wish
that all nations will work towards peace and harmony.
Our world has changed dramatically,
still the ISS is the physical proof that nations can work together in harmony
and should promote peace and global cooperation, and rich goals that are simply out of this world.
On this night, we would like to share with all
our good fortune on this space adventure
our wonder and excitement as we gaze on the Earth's splendor
and our strong sense that the human spirit to do, to explore, to discover
has no limit.
Times are hard all over the world
but this is a time when we can all think
about being together and treasuring our planet
and we have a pretty nice view of it up here.
