ah, only one main thing is important for knox ism internationally speaking, that is, that nations that's allowed to do anything, all the mazda races, and then you have the mind, the nations who are the slaves. americans, brock, obama and others have had a concept of american exceptionalism. international law exist as long as it serves the american interest. if it doesn't, it doesn't exist by turning those russians into this danger is boy man that wants to take over the world. that was a culture strategy. so some of it on your own,

i not leashed off in zebulon and tablet block. nato said it's ours. we move east. the reason us, hey jim, it is so dangerous, is it? the law is the sovereignty of all the countries. the exceptionalism that american uses and its international war planning is one of the greatest threats to the populations of different nations. if nature, what is bad shareholders in the united states and elsewhere in large obs companies would lose millions and millions? or is business and business is good and that is the reality of what we're facing, which is fashion. and who is the aggressor today? i'm authorizing additional strong sanctions. today russia is the country with the most sanctions imposed against it. a number that's constantly growing. a list of

course renewed as you speak on the bill in your senior, mostly mine, or wish you were banding all in ports of russian oil and gas news, which i know they pay with the a joe biden imposing these sanctions on russia. you has destroyed the american economy, so there's your boomerang. huh. in time, i'm rick sanchez, and i'm here to plead with you. whatever you do, you do not watch my. your shell are sleeping by watch something that's so different . my little opinion that you won't get anywhere else work of it please. if you have the state department, the cia weapons makers, multi $1000000000.00 corporations, choose your fax for you. go ahead,

change and whatever you do. don't watch my show to stay mainstream because i'm probably going to make you uncomfortable. my show is called direct impact, but again, you probably don't want to watch it because it might just change. and dwayne thing, ah, the experience itself i, i mean the nuts and bolts of it, the training, et cetera, that, that wasn't too difficult. so in that sense, it was underwhelming and i bought, ah, the experience of being up there and looking at the planet that was quite out of the ordinary air. and i, it did, doesn't leave you was very impactful. and then now when you return back that way, when you look at the cable for a response, you get because of it before i compared to today,

space flight was still a bit of a novelty or so. and especially in india and india because we never had any activity like that. so. so that was difficult so, so people generally reacted so much to the image which was built up there. and there was only one tv channel at that time so. so in effect, her space came into the drawing rooms offer our indians and that we made quite an impact with them. so as a result of that, the adulation and all was something one was what he unprepared for so that so that was the difficult part. but then again, if you look at it as a, as, as a professional, like i sent, ah, the a flight itself, the professional part of it somehow was not challenging enough. i would say, primarily because a lot of control was autonomous. done by the computers and there we were bigger

test pilot. we were in a fight, a pilot before that. but we are used to more hands on control. so it affected was like waiting to see what happens. so you are just a curious anoka bus during the transit. yeah, it did take us something to adapt to 0 gravity that took some doing because you can't replicate bug or the exact conditions on ground. therefore you're not trained for that. so you are kind of learning on the job. so that was i would say the segment that was a bit challenger, but otherwise back or did you choose to participate in the program? how difficult was the competition and why do you think that you were chosen? her, i tell you of anybody anybody, and i think we were probably about

a 1000000000 of that time. if you had us anybody, anybody would us wanted to go because it was, it was such an were less call it and out of the world experience. ah. so who won't want a piece of that action? ah, but to be quite frank. ah, i never ever dreamed. it wasn't one of my dreams. of course i dreamt of being a fighter pilot and i became one luckily. have but never ever thought of going into space because our country never had a man space program so it would have been shoot, i little just even think about so i never thought about her, but oh, it was ours. was a different i think our flight was before it's time or even now of we are just prepared a biopsy. next year we'll be sending our owner indian astronauts a border

e bay indian launchers using indian technology. so we're talking about what happened 40 years earlier. so, so really speaking from, from my planning standpoint, of israel was really not ready to get into this part or for expiration is so was just busy with the, with the satellite program. so, but because that then soviet russia, well wondered if i was, i have beneficiary of the cold war, i would say, because there was competition going on between america and russia. and russia wanted to wander the world to know that india is with them in their can. so they offered that flight to india. and i it's so like i said was not keen. and then mrs. gun the offered the flight to the into that force and ready

gladly and in air force. grab dick and then no the so he had said that it would be better if he could a get a test pilot because there wasn't any time left. elections were on the gonna so, so, so i happened to be a young at that time. relatively happened to be fit because i was always an outdoorsy kind of a person in. and i had been to re lucky her to be the right guy on the right place of the right time. so could you tell us a bit about your ras? so we had to colleagues your interactions with them. the crews were, i mean, they were like, like a via does anywhere in the world. we have a special bond. so in that sense, that done, i was the only guy doing the 1st flight. there were 3 of us, the other 2 yury militia than good. now this circle of

a boss where i had already flown into space. so there was that sense of comfort with them. and um, and i the, i think all and all it was i, it was already or truthful interaction. oh, they did the mentoring. and there was no problem whatsoever. where was the so you steam beast and wherever you will train we did our training in. oh, i'll say moscow at star city. does the unit gar garden? no, no space sir. facility though, training facility and are that's where we trend ellen, we moved to by conner from where the launch took miss. so the final part of the training, just prior to the launch a practiced, ah, the last minute things like docking. if you don't go well them how to we are still managed to retrieve ah,

the space way to sell. because if you can't dockwood the laboratory, then you can do any experiments. so, so that's what all the training was in moscow out of moscow. joseph, good, other class star city. do you remember your fears? if any, in the process or preparing for your 1st flight? i wasn't experienced just by the, by the time i was select 10, i would say that her, all, i won't even sail military of yet. as all aviators have a reconciled with the prospect off it bigger riskier profession than what everybody thinks door today, i would say that crossing a road where this traffic is equally to ski her by god being a riskier profession. some are we, all of us professionals of come to come means by then. so there was no fear at battle level and not. and the way i processed the fact that i would not be in

control. and that my destiny is going to be shaped by a computer. ah, it'll shoot, i have to worry. and so therefore i, i just took it in my straight. okay. if it works, it works. it doesn't work. but then i was not the 1st guy going up so many had been there before me and, and they, they returned to. so, i mean, i really wasn't worried that on i was an observer. what are your 1st thoughts when you realized that you were actually in faith? it was an absolutely stunning no. of course, by that time, i would say gotten, went up in the sea early sixty's and the americans followed thereafter. so there was a lot of material already in the media in terms of photographs and things. so why

really knew what, what to expect? and they were color photographs. but when you actually go up there and the experience, the, or i would say the environment to go, you're floating all the time, some the unit used to that and, and the visuals are absolutely stunning. and it's too, oh, in a very impactful way, at the scale on which things are. and i, i would say that that gives you a wider perspective of your own existence. no. then therefore, you start, you will return as somebody who was a lot more mindful about the fact that there is no other place now, which is as comfortable as planet earth. and therefore, oh, we really needs to look after that and not to we need to take care of that,

the sources and use them frugally and not do what we are doing because we are systematically, i think you do agreed of due to our so quarter development but we are exhausting the limited resources which planet earth has got an bab. therefore you come back with a with a changed perspective. in that sense, how long will you in face for we went up in the saw use. we docked with the salute we transferred to the side you sewer tunnel, which was formed due to the coupling off there. so using the solute and we lived in the solute which essentially is a steel cylinder, much smaller, smaller than this. oh, and a. and that's it, me work there. so it was in that confined space. we stayed for 8 or days,

but that's go great shakes because the word record us $400.00 plus days. so. so it says it's a wonderful place to wizard, but a difficult place to work in i would say everything keeps flying because there's no gravity. so all your a tasks you have to do it sequentially. so you can't let things keep it on the table. i mean, everything would be flying off the table. so one by one, you gotta do those stocks and it takes a lot longer. we need a lot more patience. she leads to not more diligence. but that's, this is something which you pick up and you learn on the job. you really curious to know what you eat in space to watch for good. see, we had to choose between 80 dishes now and her. of course it did it. it could be laid out like a, like a buffet on, so you had to go to the larder and select whatever you wanted. and that is

a whole you way of eating. there we go. it. and in fact, even the way the food was prepared, ah, like rice was prepared and in a manner such that the greens would stick to each other so that they don't fly about and 0 gravity. so you had to gov, piece out with your spoon and put it in their mouth. so they were non registered and dishes. they were you know, while we were under training, we were introduced or different kinds of foods. and that's when they found out who was fond of worked and they used to make sure that when that crew goes up, those dishes are available. those thing in the tins and bread zen with honey and stuff and where it was lovely. and yet at least my appetite increases. i, i over it, i the, i felt the need for more so because the fierce bone do so you have to good of

dynamic tension. you do the bit of running or cycling? no over there. just so that you get, give yourself a cardiovascular massage. and so there are techniques and that's how you skin, so i have for the, for more than $400.00 days. now let's see how, what solutions that come up with when you actually walk to the more known and other planets. you spoke to that then prime minister off india, india and gone he from that. what did she say to you? well, but she got off her, lead the questions, which are i would say the arrest of the observers in our country were keen to know the answers off so. so naturally the question, one of the questions was, she congratulated all of us for having completed our training and her having a successful launch. and they law of course,

the inevitable question as to how india looks form space. so. so one have to describe that. in fact, i will say that i did try my best to share that experience because one of the programs from orbit was when i was given a video camera and i took it around the spur salute 7 and through the windows showed them how the earth looks it was my attempt to share the lovely visuals with with my countrymen. would you like to return to face? i would yes. ah, i would. what i would like to return as a tourist. reason being that her space is such a inexpensive activity that when i was there last, each minute of the space flight was one, had to do something or the other to make the flight productive. so there was no

time really to press your nose against the window and look at the world. go by. so i don't mind going back again. but as a tourist back of the day, did you have any astronaut for all models? of like i said, this fell out of the blue into my lap and all of us, of course you do, i govern was a, was a, the one who started it on. and then he resisted in there and that was created quite a splash. so these were household names you to go to an alan shepard and all these guys are it was only.
