He highlighted the incredible experience of working with professionals from around the world and the mission's far-reaching impact. 'It was an incredible joy to be here and working alongside a bunch of professionals like you. For the past two and a half weeks and so, we have done a lot of science on the station, we have done outreach activities ' In a light-hearted moment, he added, '(We) also looked back at the earth in whatever time we found. We were always looking out of the window'. 'It almost seems magical to me and I would like to take this opportunity to thank my country and all its citizens for supporting this mission and me with all of their hearts. I would like to thank ISRO for making this happen, all the colleagues at ISRO who have worked tirelessly in developing all of the protocols, science and the outreach activities... the researchers back in India, the students who developed the outreach items that I carried', he said.

He agreed with his Hungarian colleague Tibor Kapu and underscored that the mission had far and wide-ranging impacts as apart from science. 'Going back from here I carry a lot of memories, and the learnings out of this mission that I would spread back, But the one thing that really sticks to me is what humanity is capable of when all of us come together from different parts of the world and work for a common goal. It is truly incredible'. Ending his optimistic and stirring speech, Group Captain Shukla said, 'We will meet soon on earth'.
