VIDEO | Axiom-4 Mission: Group Captain Shubhanshu Shukla enters the International Space Station (ISS). Speaking in Hindi, Shukla says, "A small message for my beloved fellow Indians, with your love and blessings, I have reached the International Space Station. It might seem easy, but our heads feel a little heavy, though none of that matters. Weโll get used to it in a few days. In the coming days, we will conduct many scientific experiments. I will continue to talk to you all. I am very excited, and I wear my countryโs flag on my shoulders with pride. I believe all of you are equally excited about this journey. Thank you. Jai Hind. Jai Bharat."
