 It reminded us of a bumblebee buzzing around above it, so we thought that was a good selection. Good morning. I've been there for a Q experiment, to collaborate with the Ukrainian experiment on Port Kalan. I think you've done a great job so far, Leonid. Keep it up. One more day. Hello, Colombia. This is Prime Minister Gujral from India. Can you hear me? Mr Gujral, I hear you loud and clear. How do you read me? Kalpana, we are proud of you. Each one of us in India is proud of us. Proud of a person like you, who has done such a pioneering work, and particularly the women and youth of India, a great honor in seeing what you have done in the space. My hearty congratulations. Thank you, sir. Thank you very much. You know, when I think of you, I think what a long journey you have covered from Karnal to space. Long distance. And therefore, when I talk to you, I feel I'm talking to a person who is representing India in the space now. My all good wishes to you. Thank you, sir, very much. Those are very kind words. You know, Kalpana, I do not know if you remember. There is a saying by one of our poets, who is very well known in the subcontinent, Tikbal. He said, There are words beyond stars. And now you have seen them. How do you feel about them? It's a very special feeling. And really out here, the night sky, when you look at it, what you are saying does become very literal. It's a dome of a dark sky and stars everywhere. And thunderstorms here and there. In a while, city lights see the clouds. Very much like a storybook. I'm working without here. All of us work so well together. And it's such an honor and a mission with them. You know, it's a wonderful feeling that your journey is expended, the frontiers of science and technology. And also at the same time, you have built another new and very formidable and strong bridge between India and America. I'm glad I am. If you say so, I'm able to do that. And in orbit, Kalpana, how do you feel without weight, weightlessness? Is it very difficult, experience? Until right now, we are in a burn. And things are just moving all over. I was just moving things out of my way, with my legs. And I was just moving things out of my way, with my legs. Actually, it's not very difficult at all. You get very used to it, very fast. End up telling yourself, take it easy. Don't try to do very fast, because otherwise you are just tumbling all over. So, gently is the way to go. It must be very interesting to sit with the colleagues and friends in the same weightlessness. Is it a very interesting experience and friendship that you have formed now? That's very true, sir. On our crew, we have people from very different backgrounds. And we bring a lot of different cultures together. And it's just a lot of fun. It was fun while we trained together and now in space, too. I don't know if from your satellite you can see some other Indian satellites also, which are also in the space projecting Indian television program to every home. Yes, sir, I am aware of that. Yes, but you know, we are also our scientists and our technologies are sharing the same experience of space. They have not gone themselves to space like you, but they have sent quite a few satellites. And yes, sir, I knew about that when I was going to school back in Karnal, or I should say in Chandigarh in India. And then also after I came here, I've been following that in the news out here. And I want to extract a promise from you that when you come back to the Earth, please come to India with all your friends in the satellite and also your whole family. The whole crew would love to come and that would be an honor. You will be most welcome guests of the Indian people and the government. They all take so much pride in you and excited about you that when you come and meet them, they'll be extremely delighted and you must come. We will surely come and like I said, that's definitely an honor. And if I may just take a second, I'd like to introduce my crew members to you. And first of all, I'm going to bring the pilot on board. His name is Steve Lindsey and Steve and I turned together in the class that I came in. Thank you very much, but also kindly convey my invitation to your fellow travelers who are in space with you, the captain and everybody else. For sure, sir. I'm pleased and will tell them that this is a very warm and hearty invitation to all of you. It will pass that out, sir. And you know, Kalpana, you come originally, your family came from Karnal and in that area, where a famous poet, Kalidas was there, wrote that famous song about the swim of the swan. And I know about that and that's a very special thing. And you are that swan now swimming in the space. And thank you very much. Once again, my feeling of thanks to you for all that you have performed. You have made all of us proud of you. Thank you, sir. Thank you very much. Thank you for calling us on the orbiter. And if you would just take a second, a couple of days ago, we taped the view of Himalayas from the orbiter and I'll download link it to you for a minute or so and we can be talking while that's happening. Thank you. Prime Minister and all the people from India, we taped this view a few days ago I was hoping that maybe by chance and the call came, we'd be flying over some regions that folks there were familiar with. But the view of Himalayas is so magnificent that it really belongs to all of us, as you can see on this video. Thank you very much. Kevin, good morning for us. I think good afternoon or good evening for you. It's amazing that we are on day 76 of our 91 day stay in this chamber and you're on day 14 or 15 out of one more day to go and we feel that the end of this test is right around the corner. We're wondering, it's strange to see that we may have the same feelings on different duration flights. Well, now that you're right, we're just about ready to finish our mission. We only have one day left, but it sure has flown by. I hope yours has done the same. If you're doing some good work and you're doing some good science and research for a good cause, things tend to go very quickly. I just want to say hi to yourself and the Vicky we miss her and all the food that she supports with and also to John and Laura. And if I could, I want to show you one thing. Now I was there when you went into the chamber and we chatted a couple of times over email and you folks that came up with a possible problem with iodine in the water and as you know, that was the last minute addition to our flight. And thanks to your research that you're doing and then the folks on the ground find a solution, we have that incorporated right here. Let me show you. It takes out our iodine in water. We also have the filter. And as you can see, it just sucks in quite nicely between our cabinet on the Mar and the galley. So it really hasn't been an inconvenience at all. The water comes out a little bit slower but hopefully in long-term health benefits especially on the show on the International Space Station will all benefit from it. Certainly can sympathize with you on that one Kevin and the hard way you have in your hand is one that I had slated for SDS 89 but I guess we'll get another one for Terry for that. We'd like to hand it on to John now. I think he has a couple of other questions for you. Morning. Yeah, I'm glad to see that something that one of our former test directors worked on, worked great in the payload bay. Ed Moore was Nigel's test director for his 15 days with the wheat plants and he was also one of the key guys working on the sprint camp. I was wondering what your thoughts were on his performance in the CVA. Second chance to do a space walk and to fly the sprint. And Steve did the flying of the sprint and if you saw any pictures of it it just handled like a dream and actually handled handling qualities better than the simulator in the virtual reality lab. It really has tremendous potential. The video was a little bit intermittent but we knew that going into the test because the antennas aren't optimized at this time but I think for future shuttle missions and definitely on the International Space Station that technology really has great potential. This is a homegrown Johnson Space Center project. It was done on a very tight budget and the guys really did hit a grand slam. It just worked great.
